Update datasouce in RDLC report

Question

I am using SQL views to pass data to RDLC report. Now If I add a column to SQL view, How can I get this newly added column in RDLC report.

For now, I have to delete RDLC dataset and create new one every time which is not feasible at all. Hope someone have better way of doing this.

You can open your report in any XML editor, locate your dataset and add more columns (of desired type) in Fields section. For example:

    <Field Name="NewColumnName">
      <DataField>NewColumnName</DataField>
      <rd:TypeName>System.String</rd:TypeName>
    </Field>
