How to generate an RDLC file using C# during runtime

Question

I\'m doing some application development (CRM solution) which require generating diagrammatically an RDLC file at runtime. How do I do that?

Answer 1

Can I confirm that you are trying to build a dynamic reporting solution based on RDLC, or do you just need to mine the data stored in the CRM and show it in a RDLC. I guess you've exhausted other tools such as Proclarity and Excel for users to mine data.

Assuming the former (i.e. an RDLC designer), then RDLC is just an XML file, so I guess you could create simple, standard RDLC's containing datasources, field definitions, cells etc by applying an XSLT after first exporting some kind of xml 'model' from your designer?

Sounds like a lot of work ;)
