What’s the deal with RDLC reports and object datasources anyway?
June 30th, 2008
It’s time to let out some steam again. I thought it was one of the stupidest shortcomings in Visual Studio 2005 that there wasn’t a convenient way to bind local reports to business objects defined in external assemblies. In fact, I can’t even recall finding a usable workaround for it. I would’ve expected Microsoft to address this in Visual Studio 2008, but no: It’s either typed dataset or domain model in the website’s App_Code. WTF is the deal with that? Who keeps their domain model in the website?
Am I missing something here?
