Dictionary and Alias of Object Properties

Hi,

I'm using an object as a datasource for the dictionary in my reportdesigner, using report.RegData(String Name, Object o). This works fine, however, I'd like to have some way to set a custom name for the properties on my object that are shown in the dictionary.

Say I have a property called CustomerId:

public String CustomerId { get; set; }

Is there anyway to define the Alias that should be shown in the dictionary directly on my entity object? Something along the lines of:

[SomeAttribute="Customer Identification"]
public String CustomerId { get; set; }

Thanks in advance.

Hello.

Unfortunately this is not possible in the current version of the report engine, but we are going to add this functionality after 2008.2 official release.

Thank you.
