Hi everybody, I would like to bind my reportviewer to my dataset or datatable in run time (I do not want to use any wizard) in C# 2008. is there anyway to do it? I searched for for hours, but I did not find any solution for my idea. Thank you in advance for your time.

Here is a sample snippet you can try: Private Sub FillData() ' Get Data from DataSource to a DataSet Dim strCon As New SqlConnection("Use the ConnectionString to connect to the db Server") Dim strDa As New SqlDataAdapter("Specify the Select Statement", strCon) Dim ds As New DataSet() strDa.Fill(ds) ' Define a ReportDataSource Object Dim ReportDataSource2 As Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportDataSource = New Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportDataSource() Me.ReportViewer1.LocalReport.DataSources.Clear() ' Assign the previously created DataSet as the Report DataSource ReportDataSource2.Value = ds.Tables(0) ' Make sure the name of the DataSet is same as that of the DataSet being defined for the Local Report ReportDataSource2.Name = "DataSet1" ReportViewer1.LocalReport.DataSources.Add(ReportDataSource2) Me.ReportViewer1.RefreshReport() End Sub Hope this helps!!Chaitanya
