Question

I am trying to create a crystal report, however I cannot connect directly to the database. I am required to get all data from a webservice call. I am returning DataTables for each webservice call. Is there any way for me to bind that datatable to the .xsd file for the Crystal Report or is there a better way to get this information into the crystal report.

        protected void GenReport_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

        ReportDocument TestReport = new ReportDocument();
        DataSet ds = new DataSet();
        DataTable dt = webservice.Get_Admin_Dealers();
        ds.Tables.Add(dt);
        dt.TableName = "TestReport";
        TestReport.Load(Server.MapPath("/TestReport.rpt"));
        TestReport.SetDataSource(ds);           
        ReportViewer.ReportSource = TestReport;

    }

the front side looks like

asp:Panel ID="reportPanel" runat="server">
        <asp:Button ID="GenReport" runat="server" Text="Generate Report" OnClick="GenReport_Clicked" />
        <CR:CrystalReportViewer ID="ReportViewer" runat="server" AutoDataBind="true"></CR:CrystalReportViewer>
    </asp:Panel>
