Refresh XML dataset

edited 12:00AM in FastReport .NET
We create a report with a XML file, containing for example 10 fields.
When we add an extra field in the XML file it does not show up under the Connection.
However it is shown in the menu "View Data".

Question: how can we refresh the column information of the report without delete and add the XML file as datasource again.

    i have done something similar - here is how:

    1) open your report in the Designer
    2) Expand DATA SOURCES tree and highlight the dataset you are using
    3) right-click it and select EDIT
    4) as long as the file it points to reflects the new structure, just NEXT thru til then end

    now...

    5) right-click each table and click EDIT
    6) NEXT thru (you will see the new fields / data structure)

    thats it!

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
