Hi,
I am adding a subreport to a report and I need to pass a uniqueidentifier or Guid to the subreport. However the subreport only allows me to specify the parameter as text/boolean/Detatime/integer/float.
If I use Text, I get th esubreport stating "Data retrieval failed".
What do I need to do?

Has this never been done before?

Unfortunately I'm still not getting it.

I am using Visual Studio 2010 and have created an RDLC main report and subreport.

Can you recommend a good walk through or book for subreports that I could follow? Everything I am finding refers to menu options or tabs that I am not seeing in my Report

Thanks I had actually found a book and bought it hoping that it would help me despite it being for VS 2005 and thankfully it did.

This is the book:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1590598547/ref=s9_psimh_gw_p14_d1_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=1V9E17C7MPDBS0QRD1KB&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1389517282&pf_rd_i=507846

It explained to me that I needed to have the all the data needed for the master and for the detail in my dataset which I had not found anywhere else. It also showed me the type of code necessary to handle the subreport processing and I was able to adjust this to speed up the extremely slow subreport so that I actually filter the data appropriately on each subreport in code rather than loading the entire dataset for the subreport and letting the report filter it based on the filter set on the tablix.

Thanks for your help.
