Reports
OrderDetailsReport.rdlx: This report uses the object provider to connect to data at runtime. It uses the Table data region to display order details and the Plain Line chart to display sales by order id. The Table data is grouped by OrderID. Some TextBox controls of the Table use the Sum function to display the total price information for each order.
This is the report that opens in a separate view when you click the Order Summary (page report) link on the Customer Details page.
OrderReport: This report binds to data at runtime. The report uses the Textbox and Label controls to display the order details and the Bar chart to display the freight amounts by ship date.
