datasource details from ASP.NET application

Hi,

is there a way to set the datasource details from an ASP.NET application, so that we don´t have to adjust these manually?
Thanks.

Regards,
Patrick

Hi Patrick, 
 
Thanks for using Syncfusion components. 
 
Our reporting controls allows to use XML files hosted in ASP.NET application as datasources to the reports, please refer to the below for more details on using XML datasource. 
If we misunderstood your requirement then please update more details about your requirement, it will be helpful for us to provide solution.

Hi Vinoth,

we would like to change the database server and the database name within code from our application.
If I unstood correctly the XML files only work if there is a XML datasource.

Patrick

Hi Patrick, 
 
If your requirement is to modify the database server and database name in a report, then it can achieved by editing the report definition in code behind of your ASP.Net application. Please refer the below KB for editing the report in code behind.
