Showing Data from one Datasource based on Data from another Datasource

in FastReport .NET

Hi Folks,

I have 2 data sources in xml format.

Data source 1 contains various operation data.

Data source 2 contains tool data.

Each operation also contains an ID or a name to a used tool from source 2.


I want to make a report exclusively with data from source 2, this is no problem.

But I also want to make a second report that consists mainly of data from source 1, but also shows some information from source 2.

Since source 1 has a reference to source 2 anchored in the XML as described as (numeric) ID or name I should be able to access different columns somehow, right?


Example:

Source 2: 

Fields: OperationName | ID_source2 | other...


Source 1: 

Fields: OperationName | ID_source2 | other...

Report should show:

OperationName | Description(IDsource2) | Diameter(IDsource2) 


I hope you know what I try to achieve. I'm not an expert but I think we talk about the system which is used in databases, known as Primary key/ Forreign Key relationship....


Best regards,

mam

    Hi all,

    I figured out how it works and was just a little lost in the documentation!

    The key is like I mentioned, to build a relationship. This can be done in the data window. There is a button "Actions" -> New Relation

    After building the relation you can use data from both sources combined.


    Cheers
