Hello,

one possibility is to use datasets.

Simply read different XML datasources to the dataset and pass it to the report.

Please see samples on our diamond community site under :

Your code would look something like this:

'explicitly set the table:

crReportDocument.Database.Tables(0).SetDataSource(dataSet.Tables("NAME_OF_TABLE"))

'implicitly set the table

crReportDocument.SetDataSource(dataSet)
