Help with Report Viewer

My Items table contains items with each item has a specific date. I want to generate a report that displays items between two different dates. For example, I'd put two timedatepicker controls so the user selects From: 24/9/2009 To: 19/3/2010 and then press a button to generate a report of items between these dates.

I'm using Report Viewer control btw not crystal repor开发者_运维知识库t.

Edit:

Alright I figured it out using linq query and bind it to datasource like this:

var query = from c in MyDatabase01DataSet.Items 
                    where c.ProductDate >= Convert.ToDateTime(x) && c.ProductDate <= Convert.ToDateTime(y) 
                    select c;
        ItemsBindingSource.DataSource = query.ToList();

        reportViewer1.LocalReport.ReportEmbeddedResource = "[reportTest.Report3.rdlc";
        reportViewer1.LocalReport.ReportPath = "Report3.rdlc";
        reportViewer1.ProcessingMode = Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ProcessingMode.Local;
        reportViewer1.RefreshReport();

• Use date(From/to) in the where clause of your query. Or if you have it in a DataTable, use .Select to filter specific records. Something like following:

  string strFilter = "dateFromCol > " + DateFrom.Value + " and dateToCol < " + DateTo.Value; yourTable.Select(strFilter);

• Bind the .DataSource property with your DataTable.

  reportViewer1.LocalReport.DataSources.Add(new ReportDataSource("yourDataSourceName", yourTable));

• Refresh your ReportViewer

This article has simple example that might help you get started.

var query = from c in MyDatabase01DataSet.Items 
                    where c.ProductDate >= Convert.ToDateTime(x) && c.ProductDate <= Convert.ToDateTime(y) 
                    select c;

        ItemsBindingSource.DataSource = query.ToList();

        reportViewer1.LocalReport.ReportEmbeddedResource = "[reportTest.Report3.rdlc";
        reportViewer1.LocalReport.ReportPath = "Report3.rdlc";
        reportViewer1.ProcessingMode = Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ProcessingMode.Local;
        reportViewer1.RefreshReport();
