How to create report (RDLC) without database?

Question

Problem

When you create a report (RDLC) the datasource seems to be only this or that database. Is there any way to convince VS to establish a link to memory data s

Answer 1

I recently wrote a blog post on creating a reporting assembly and using it in a project. My reports accept a list of my classes as a datasource and dont read from the DB themselves.

If you have a look here:

it should help. Basically you create a class library containing the datasources as VS 2010 has a real problem detecting object datasources. It works like 20% of the time which is why i decided to do it this way.
