I am attempting to work with the SQL server report viewer control and I need to set the reports dataset.
In DNN we use the DAL which returns an data object as an arraylist. So when working with a drop down I normally iterate through the object for each and set the values after reading the objects info as defined in the DAL.

What I am trying to figure out is the best way to set that into a dataset that can then be assigned to the reportviewer control.
Or is there a better way to do this. I do not want to have many datasets defined in my module for each report as there will be many reports available.

When working with the return items you can bind them to lists and other information.  No need to loop, or to convert to a dataset for anything with a "DataSource" property.

SO for instance I I have a data set that required 10 items for the report and I have an object returned from a table that has 20 items I can bind that to my data set and it will see only the 10 items in the data set? can you show an example of this please?
