C# set xml data source

[DellSC]

Hi,

I use XSD file to design a report and want to read another xml(share the same schema ) to set report's data source. However, the exported pdf has no data.

FYI, I use cryastal report 2020 and here are my xsd file code

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<xs:schema id="data" xmlns="" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:msdata="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-msdata">

What are you doing to set the datasource when you run the report? Are you running this within an application or directly from Crystal?

And are you using ADO.NET (XML) or the native CR XML driver?

yes, I finally get it out by loading schema file and xml. However, There is another issue. That is, Images with graphic location will not display in the exported Pdf when I set data source to report, besides, all fields shows correctly in the pdf. Images shows when I did not set data source to the report.

 void SetXmlDataSource(ReportDocument report)
        {
            if(!Utils.CheckFileExists(_configuration.Schema))
            {
                throw new Exception($"File {_configuration.Schema} does not exist");
            }
            if(!Utils.CheckFileExists(_commandLine))
            {
                throw new Exception($"File {_commandLine} does not exist");
            }
            var ds = new DataSet();
            ds.ReadXmlSchema(_configuration.Schema);
            ds.ReadXml(_commandLine);
            report.SetDataSource(ds);
        }
