  Hi I'm trying to use a complex business object as my Report Data Source and then trying to access properties on another complex business object which is a property of the first, in the report. 
  Ex: Business might have StreetAddress and I'm trying to access StreetAddress.StreetNumber from a textbox. 
  When I tried something similar in my application it gave me the namespace of the object (ProjectName.StreetAddress) as the textboxes output. Is there a way to do what I'm trying to do?
  

  Thanks,

  Daniel

  Hi Daniel,

  After investigation, we found that though there is not a direct way to achieve your requirement. However, by accessing the nested properties via reflection, it can still be done. For complete implementation, please refer the attached sample application.

  Thanks,
