Think I am missing something basic???? I can use the Custom BBS with MS reports just fine. However, when I create a report using the S-Flix sample, I cannot get to the datasources already created in the sample?

What am I missing?

Ok,

Tried it again. In the Strafix application I am able to create custom BBS and drag and drop in the MS report rdlc file. Mine, yours no problem. However, I cannot do the same in Active or Crystal reports?  

Is this what we are suppose to be able to do?

THanks

Hi Michael

By default, BBS and BO created by the SF Custom Business Binding Source will not be shown in the ToolBox, since you may need a lot of those per reports, so what you can do is add the <ToolboxItem(True)> attribute to the BBS so they will be able to be drag and dropped in the form to design your report and then remove it when the report is done, to keep the VS IDE running smoothly.

Here some code in VB for one of my BBS

Imports System.ComponentModel

Namespace Reports.CustomerProfile

     <ToolboxItem(True)> _

     Public Class BuildingsBBS

          Inherits MicroFour.StrataFrame.Business.BusinessBindingSource(Of FixTrack.Business.bizBuildings)

     End Class

End Namespace
