Hello,
just struggling to use a generic List as datasource and couldn't find an example in sample\csharp . How to declare the cell reference inside the named range?
For example I registered the datasource like:
List<double> result_tbl = new List<double>();
Report.AddTable("Result", result_tbl);
What is the syntax for the cell declaration, because the list has no fieldname?
<#Result.?>
Best regards
Hi,
As you've pointed out, the reports won't work with a list of doubles, they require a list of records or classes.
And the reason we don't allow a list of primitives (strings, doubles, etc) is mostly because we didn't thought it could be useful, and nobody until now requested it either 
But now that we have one request, we will study if it can be done. I think the syntax for such a feature should be just <#Result>, but maybe there is a need to require something like <#result.value> or something like that for the report engine to like it.
The workaround as you probably already figured is to have a record with a single "data" field and then have a list instead of a list. But if you already have the existing list of doubles, filling one from the other is not very efficient.
As said, we'll see if it can be implemented, and I will let you know.
Hello,
thank you for your quick response. From my side its totally ok to work with a list of simple objects/structs which are containing numeric values. Copying the values into another list takes just a few milliseconds.
I only asked, because the documentation says, that I can use any datasource which implements IEnumerable interface. I thought I miss something to make it work with a simple List of primitives.
Best regards
We've just added the possibility to use list, string, bool, and ints directly. The syntax will be <#Result.value> (because without the ".something" part it would be confused with a property).
It will be available in the next release
