DataMember Property

Gets or sets the specified list in an DataSource to which the report will bind.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Property DataMember As String

public string DataMember {get; set;}

Remarks

Default is an empty string.

If a data source, such as a dataset, contains multiple lists, you must set the DataMember to a list contained in the data source. The ActiveReports built-in data sources always contain a single data source, hence do not require that this property be set.

Example

private void rptProducts_ReportStart(object sender, System.EventArgs eArgs)
{
    rptProducts rpt = new rptProducts();
    localhost.DataSetWS ws = new localhost.DataSetWS();
    DataSet ds = ws.GetProduct(); 
    this.DataSource = ds;
    this.DataMember = "Products";
}

Visual Basic

Private Sub rptProducts_ReportStart(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.ReportStart
    Dim rpt As New rptProducts()
    Dim ws As New localhost.DataSetWS()
    Dim ds As New DataSet()
    ds = ws.GetProduct()
    Me.DataSource = ds
    Me.DataMember = "Products"
End Sub

Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
