Use business objects (generic list object) as datasource to generate a report??
I was wondering if it is possible to use a generic list object to use as the datasource/data for a report? Right now we use these business objects to display information on our website and would be great it we could re-use those objects and create reports based on them. We are doing some calculations etc in the business layer to build these objects, so if we could re-use, that would be best. Thanks!

That doesnt sound like the right thing to do. Not sure if I can or not, seems like that would be difficult. You would think with the OR mappers etc now that reports would be able to generate from list objects. You shouldnt have to repeat your business rules in the database to generate data.
