very good

Hi Mehul,

I am trying to make a report in ASP.NET using your reporting tool. I've added Xtrareporting class but in design mode there are just winform components. I couldn't add gridview or aspxtreelist. When ever I tried to use normal treelist I could't bind my custom datatable because as u know there is not any bind option in winform components. Is there any way for me to bind my custom data source form any aspx pages to a aspxtreelist in a xtrareport ?

Sinan,

You're right, it's impossible to drop ASP.NET components onto the XtraReport at design time. Instead, XtraReports can embed Windows Forms components into it, by using the WinControlContainer wrapper. At this point, please clarify why you can't bind an XtraTreeList control to a datasource? For example, please see the XtraTreeList documentation, which describes how to bind a tree list to data: www.devexpress.com/.../Content.aspx.

Also, please clarify why you need to show a tree list control inside a report? AFAIK, the ASPxTreeList control can be exported to various formats without XtraReports: www.devexpress.com/Help. Or do you want to *print* a tree-like structure in a report? If so, then please try to use the XtraTreeList control inside an XtraReport - they should work together just fine.
