Hi,

If you want to use a collection as a Data Source, you could use the Object Data Source.

For example, consider the following class:

public class Person

{

    private static int Seed = 10;

    public Person()

    {

        var value = Seed++;

        Name = "Name" + value;

        Age = value;

    }

    public string Name { get; set; }

    public int Age { get; set; }

    // It could be an ObservableCollection too

    public static IEnumerable<Person> GetSampleData()

    {  

        return new List<Person>

            {

                new Person(), new Person(), new Person(),

                new Person(), new Person(), new Person(),

            };

    }

}

Just create a DS based on the GetSampleData method, drag&drop it to the report, hit preview and you should see the six persons being rendered as a table.

At runtime you can bind the data source to a collection containing the actual data you want to render, e.g. you can bind the data source to a collection in your view model.

<ig:XamReportViewer>

    <ig:XamReportViewer.RenderSettings>

        <ig:ClientRenderSettings DefinitionUri="MyNamespace.MyReport.igr, MyAssembly">

            <ig:ClientRenderSettings.DataSources>

                <ig:DataSource TargetDataSource="Person"

                               ItemsSource="{Binding Persons}" />

            </ig:ClientRenderSettings.DataSources>

        </ig:ClientRenderSettings>

    </ig:XamReportViewer.RenderSettings>

</ig:XamReportViewer>

Hope it clarifies.

Please tell me if you need something else or you have any problem.

Thanks,

Leo
