Data Extensions - Through Business Logic

I have a multi-tier application that does a lot of business processing of
data. I am looking for a way to use SQL Report Server to render reports
based upon this data. I have looked at several examples of extensions and
built one using a serialized XML file. What I am looking for though is to be
able to create an extension that uses data that has been processed from the
business logic in real time without creating a serialized XML file. Any help
would be appreciatedHave you check my DPE? It serializes the dataset and passes it as a
parameter to the report.

As a side node, the new controls in RS 2005 will support standalone mode
where you could bind your report to a dataset.

Hope this helps.

Data Extension Parameters

Hi,
I've implemented a data extension to use a custom business class to return a
dataset. This all works fine but I cannot seem to get parameters working. Has
anyone got any code snippets of creating parameters and the parameters being
available at run-time & design time.
All the examples I've seen don't use parameters so any help would be much
appreciated as I've got to produce this ASAP.
RegardsHi,
OK - I've worked out how to get the parameters in designer mode via the
GetParameters method. However, how do I get the parameters that I add via the
Report Dialog in VS.NET?
I've tried passing the parameter collection object but this comes back with
no items although there is one displayed in the preview.
Regards
