Hi,
You can bind the data source defined in the report directly in the XAML using Bindings, like this:
<ig:XamReportViewer>
<ig:XamReportViewer.RenderSettings>
<ig:ClientRenderSettings DefinitionUri="MyNamespace.Orders.igr, MyAssembly">
<ig:ClientRenderSettings.DataSources>
<ig:DataSource TargetDataSource="Order_Detail"
ItemsSource="{Binding OrdersDataSource}" />
</ig:ClientRenderSettings.DataSources>
</ig:ClientRenderSettings>
</ig:XamReportViewer.RenderSettings>
</ig:XamReportViewer>
“Order_Detail” is the name of the data source defined at design-time.
You can see examples of this on pages 138 and 236-237 of the documentation (notice that when you install the CTP a PDF containing the documentation gets installed too).
You can also programmatically set a new RenderSettings configuration specifying the report you want to render and the data sources you want to use.
May be if you give me more information about what you are specifically trying to accomplish I can help you better.
Thanks,

Hi ,
Thanks for reply. I created report1.igr in WpfApplication and connected sql server (Datasource= SqlDataSource1) at design time. It's simple connecting NorthWind Database and showing Employee table.
Also added one MainWindow.xaml file . In xaml file ,added XamReportViewer control to show report from report1.igr.
I have following query
1) Can we show report in XAML file ?
2) Need to know ClientRenderSettings tag in XAML file so that I can show report1.igr in XAML file.
When you create a new data source the Data Source Creation Wizard by default will store the connection string in the App.config file. You should have an App.config file in your project containing the connection string. Do you have it?
Are you using a connection defined in the Server Explorer?
I have WpfApplication so I have App.xaml. I am using connection defined in server explorer.
I haven't code anyhting yet. Just created connection using server explorer and drag fields from there.
Want to show in WPF file using XamReportViewer.
Thanks for guidance.
My question was regarding the “App.Config” file, not the “App.xaml” file. The app.config file is a configuration file where the connection string should have been stored when you first create the data source using the Wizard. Do you have that file? Does it contains the connection string you are using?
Can you send me the solution so I can analyze what is happening? (lrodriguez at infragistics.com)
I take a look at the solution you sent me. The problem is that the “app.config” file is not included in the project. The file is present in the project folder (with the connection string) but somehow it has been excluded from the project itself. You should add it back. At runtime NA Reporting will look for that file in order to get the connection string. At design time it is getting the connection string from the Settigs. That is why it’s working.
Also you should remove the following lines from your xaml.
<ig:DataSource TargetDataSource="sqlDataSource1" />
Specifying a data source through the viewer API is meant for scenarios where you want to swap the data source at runtime, which I think is not the case. Also notice that if you would want to swap the data source you would need to specify the ItemsSource property of the ig:DataSource, in addition to the TargetDataSource.
Once you add the “app.config” back, remove the xaml I mentioned and rebuild the project the problem should be fixed.
Please note that the DataContext={Binding} that you specified in several places are not needed.
Please tell me if you need any more.
It's working fine. Thanks a lot for all your help.
