That looks to be another difference between FromFile/Stream vs FromDictionary implementations. Probably XamlLoader used in former is not preparing the loaded content for binding and styling out of the box when non-WPF types are involved. Our developer will research the differences.

It seems you've reverted to loading the report back from embedded resource anyway? so you could as well load it using FromDictionary method as in original example.

Hi Mandy,

2&3 work with FromDictionary version, so you might look for a way to get FromFictionary(url) load external files URLs; our developers could not when they looked into that last time though.

Hi Mandy,

FromDictionary is just a 'return Application.LoadComponent(uri) as Report':

We could not find a way to load external file through that last time and implemented FromFile using XamlLoader, which apparently has some problems with binding expressions. Our developer will check these again in a few days.

Text="{Binding OrderID}" works if you also set DataSource="{Binding Orders}" on the DataRange element; it was commented out. The converter then works too -

Text="{Binding Path=OrderDate, Converter={StaticResource MyDateFormatConverter}, ConverterParameter='yyyy-MM-dd'}"

Hi Mandy,

Forget about placeholder, just return back the DataSource="{Binding Orders}" for parent DataRange as in original example. It works for us with external files too then.

Hi Mandy,

Path error is WPF thing and nothing to do with the report. {Binding PropertyName} works if the data object actually has such property, so you could create strongly-typed models for your data rows if you need to use exactly that syntax. Otherwise DataRow itself does not expose the columns as properties, and you must use [] indexers to access them -

e.g. Binding Path=[ShippedDate] ...

Hi Slavcho,
1)The font style works, Thank you.
2)Is there any way to bypass path errors other than creating strongly-typed models?

Hi Slavcho,
Is there any way to keep the DataRange.HeaderTemplate displayed even if the data is empty?
