A custom data provider allows you to use non-traditional data sources in your page reports, both at run time and at design time. This walkthrough illustrates how to create a solution with projects that create a custom data provider and demonstrate how it pulls data from a comma separated values (CSV) file.

This walkthrough is split into the following activities:

When you complete this walkthrough, you will have a designer pre-loaded with a report that pulls data from a CSV file and looks like the following.

To create a Designer project to demonstrate the custom data provider

To configure the project to use a custom data provider

To add a report to show the data from the custom data provider

To add a class library project to the solution to contain the custom data provider

To add a button to the query editor
