How do I use only one DataSet for the RDLC report designer as well as for the ReportViewer?

Question

When designing an rdlc report using the VS 2010 report designer, report items such as charts demand a dataset. After designing the report, I add a ReportViewer to a webform, and it demands all of its own datasources. How do I hook up the DataSet I have coupled to the report without duplicating the DAL functionality in the viewer page?

Answer 1

Add a Typed data-set to your project and add data-tables with schema as required in ReportViewer, generally the schema of data-tables would be that of views from database.

Here's a good tutorial on this.
