Creating Reports in ASP.Net with Entity Framework

Below is a quick sample of how i set the report datasource in one of my .NET winForms applications.

public  void getMyReportData()
    {
        using (myEntityDataModel v = new myEntityDataModel())
        {

            var reportQuery = (from r in v.myTable
                                   select new
                                   {
                                       l.ID,
                                       l.LeaveApplicationDate,
                                       l.EmployeeNumber,
                                       l.EmployeeName,
                                       l.StartDate,
                                       l.EndDate,
                                       l.Supervisor,
                                       l.Department,
                                       l.Col1,
                                       l.Col2,
                                       .......,
                                       .......,
                                       l.Address
                                   }).ToList();


            reportViewer1.LocalReport.DataSources.Clear();
            ReportDataSource datasource = new ReportDataSource("nameOfReportDataset", reportQuery);
            reportViewer1.LocalReport.DataSources.Add(datasource);

            Stream rpt = loadEmbededReportDefinition("Report1.rdlc");
            reportViewer1.LocalReport.LoadReportDefinition(rpt);
            reportViewer1.RefreshReport();

            //Another way of setting the reportViewer report source

            string exeFolder = Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.ExecutablePath);
            string reportPath = Path.Combine(exeFolder, @"rdlcReports\Report1.rdlc");
            reportViewer1.LocalReport.ReportPath = reportPath;

            reportParameter p = new ReportParameter("DeptID", deptID.ToString());
            reportViewer1.LocalReport.SetParameters(new[] { p });

        }
    }




    public static Stream loadEmbededReportDefinition(string reportName)
        {
            Assembly _assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
            Stream _reportStream = _assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("ProjectNamespace.rdlcReportsFolder." + reportName);

            return _reportStream;
        }
