Hi Chris,

I haven't tried it but you should be able to load the XAML from a database. The same rules should apply. The XAML is compiled when the XAMLReader loads the XAML so you can't refer to the code-behind (i.e. you can't handle events in the XAML that require code) but rendering UI should work fine.

HTH,

Beth,

Great article. It was one of the first ones I read when I got my copy. I do have a quick (I hope) question. I was wondering if there was a way to implement this feature without XML Literals, specifically, loading the XML from, say a database. The case I'm thinking of is in customizable applications, where all of the elements are in the database, and I could pick and pull the needed elements based on the screen configuration. Or is something like that not really feasable?

Hey Beth

Didn't understand much of what was going on in the magazine article, but I found it incredibly interesting nonetheless. Well done.

I bet when I get to that level when I do know what you're doing, I'll have no problems doing it thanks to you.

Regards,

Logan

Lookman, does the database table to which the dataset it linked contain any data?

Hi Beth,

Happy Birthday Beth!

I watched your How-do-I videos series on reportviewer. I like it very much but am missing something.

I have a parent children relationship Table where the parent table has a look up table and the children table also has a look up, I created a dataset with a datatable with the look up tables when i drag the parent field to the report it will show but the parent look up fields and the children are not visible on the report when i run it.

Please Help! am lost.

Note: When i create the dataset without the look up table everything is alright.

Thanks in Advance
