Question

I am trying to create a report using a wcf service as a datasource. The only somewhat definitive source of information is a blog entry which I am finding does not seem to work as advertised, possibly because I am using MSSQL 2008 instead of 2005.

Is it possible, and if so, how are people doing it?

I ran into problems as well, you have to make sure that your endpoint is using the basicHttpBinding:

 <endpoint address='basic'               binding='basicHttpBinding'               bindingConfiguration='Secure'               contract='IServiceContract'> 

The url in the datasource:

http://machinename/Service.svc/basic 

And the query:

<Query><Method Namespace='schemas.xyz.com Name='MethodName' /><SoapAction>schemas.xyz.com/IServiceContract/MethodName</SoapAction></Query>
