I am developing in Visual Studio 2013.
I have decided to migrate my reporting development from Crystal Reports(ASP.net) to the Report Designer in VS.
This is in part to fall inline with organisational standards and in part because my version of crystal is failing on IE11 (it won't show the toolbar), and I don't want to have to sort it out. I am still using .Net 3.5 for the application in question.
In any case, when using Crystal Reports, I was able to join two datasets on a common key. One dataset came from the enterprise client database, and the other from my own database. The databases live on different servers.
However, I am unable to achieve this using Report Designer, thru either research or poking it with a stick from behind a rock.
It appears to allow only one dataset at a time to be used in the report on the one details row. I haven't been able to figure out why it allows multiple datasets to be defined in Report Data.
I am a newby to Report Designer, so could someone please can point me in the right direction.
