  Hello,

  I can successfully load a code based section report using a CustomStore into jsviewer. The datasource is created externally to the report, is there anyway to supply a datasource to the report once it has been returned to the jsviewer via ‘OpenReport’ ?

  In the CustomStore where you’re returning the code based section report, you can set the Datasource property of the report like below:

  
  public object GetReport(string reportName = "SectionReport")
          {
              List<Class1> data = new List<Class1>();
              SectionReport1 rpt = new SectionReport1();
              rpt.DataSource = data;
              return rpt;
          }

  Thankyou. The SectionReport is currently setup and returned the way that you have described in GetReport.
  
  What I need to be able to achieve is a method to effectively repeat this part ‘rpt.DataSource = data;’ once the jsviewer has received the report. Is there anyway this can be done?

  JSViewer only displays the already rendered report, hence it is not possible to change the Datasource once JSViewer has received the report. You can change the datasource before it is passed to the JSViewer.
