Reporting Services Binding Related Object Fields
asked on
After upgrading my SSRS reports in VS2010, several of the expression fields are now broken. For instance, using a data set of OrderItem, which contains standard order lines, I can access the fields directly represented by that object (the object structure was built using LINQ).
However, related data cannot be so easily accessed. Consider a inventory object contained-in the order line (related-to in the underlying database). The inventory object is called OrderItemType, and I want to print out the description on each order line. Sounds easy enough...
Before upgrading the following expression did in fact report the description from the related data:
=Fields!OrderItemType.Valu
However, now the "Description" portion is red-lined in the Expression editor, and when I run the report, it shows only "#VALUE" in the description field.
So what gives? Did something change after the report upgrade that now requires a different syntax? How can I once again print the description from the related table?
