[RESOLVED] MsReports, Can't find my DataSet to create the report? :(

[tgf-47]

I'm use to programming in vb.net and doing MsReports.
I will add a DataSet with a datatable and then I will add a report.
I will populate the report screen with the columns from my dataset which will be available in my toolbar on the left-hand side of my screen. It is a basic drag and drop action.

I followed my usual steps in asp.net, but when I try to draw the report, I can't find my dataset.

Why is this?
The dataset is named: "dsReport.xsd"
The toolmenu where I should see this dataset is labeled: "Website Data Sources"

Hello,

In all honesty, I am not really familiar with this side of ASP.Net. The one thing that I will say is that I am not surprised that there are differences in the way things work in ASP.Net compared to WinForms.

Can you provide a complete list of steps, perhaps with some screen showing where you have gotten, and then I can try to reproduce it here.

Hi Gary.

I got my dataset to display, finally...

It seems that one of my companies .dll files were clashing with the reporting or something in asp.net.

Here is how I fixed my issue:
1) Remove dll from referenced files.
2) In the Report_edit screen. Once the report is selected, the menu at the top in vs will change a bit. Find the menu item labeled "Report" --> "Data Sources".
I was able to add the dataset there.
3) Reference the .dll again....

Haha I must say, 1 month in the world of asp and I'm in serious need of a holiday

Thanks for trying to help me out though, I appreciate it.

Hello,

Glad to hear that you got this fixed, and thank you for sharing your solution.

Stick with it, things really will start to make sense once you have been using it for a while.
