Is there a way to point to a non XAF data source within an XAF Report or Analysis definition?

Hi Robert,

The Reports V2 module supports features like filtering, the ShowInReport action, etc. These features require working with XAF Object Spaces. So, the Reports V2 module works with special data sources that correctly operate with XAF Object Spaces as described in the Data Sources for Reports V2 article. Non-XAF data sources are disabled by default to avoid their incorrect usage. But, you can allow an end-user to select a non-XAF data source as described in the ReportsV2 - How to activate the "Add Report Data Source…" option to add new custom non-XAF data sources in the runtime WinForms report designer ticket.

As for the Pivot Chart module, it's quite an old module and it works only with XAF data sources. I don't think that we will add support for non-XAF data sources to it in the near future. In any case, this Support Center is the correct place to submit enhancement requests. We prioritize our tasks based on user feedback. If the functionality is quite demanded, we will certainly consider improving our library. As a workaround, I suggest you create a custom User Control with our PivotGrid and Chart, which you can bind to any data source.
