SSRS ReportViewer problems with XML embedded data source

Question

I have C# (WPF) application where I want to display a SSRS report in the ReportViewer control. The local report file has XML datasource embedded in it. The report is displayed c

Answer 1

I have a small command line app that does something similar, but between defining the report path and doing anything with the report viewer I'm setting a data source for the report to be run against:

report.DataSources.Add(new ReportDataSource("DataSet_for_Distribution", table));

...table is a DataTable.

After that I have no problems programmatically calling the report Render method.

Can you set a break before the render and see what data sources the report actually has?

Another thing to try, and it may just be that you formatted (or stack formatted ) it to post it here, but when I embed an XML data set in a report it is all using a format like this:

<Query>
    <ElementPath>Root /S  {@OrderDate (Date), @TotalDue (Decimal)} /C {@LastName} </ElementPath>
    <XmlData>
    <Root>
    <S OrderDate="2003-07-01T00:00:00" SalesOrderNumber="SO51131" TotalDue="247913.9138">
      <C FirstName="Shu" LastName="Ito" />
    </S>
    <S OrderDate="2003-10-01T00:00:00" SalesOrderNumber="SO55282" TotalDue="227737.7215">
      <C FirstName="Shu" LastName="Ito" />
    </S>
    <S OrderDate="2002-07-01T00:00:00" SalesOrderNumber="SO46616" TotalDue="207058.3754">
      <C FirstName="Jae" LastName="Pak" />
    </S>
    <S OrderDate="2002-08-01T00:00:00" SalesOrderNumber="SO46981" TotalDue="201490.4144">
      <C FirstName="Ranjit" LastName="Varkey Chudukatil" />
    </S>
    <S OrderDate="2002-09-01T00:00:00" SalesOrderNumber="SO47395" TotalDue="198628.3054">
      <C FirstName="Michael" LastName="Blythe" />
    </S>
    </Root>
    </XmlData>
    </Query>
