RDLC Reporting class in Chicago and Boston  

During the training we will build several reports which highlight the main headaches we encounter when transforming reports and creating new reports. We will focus heavily on the flattening of the dataset and how to do multiple nested tables and grouping in Visual Studio. This is where people are struggling. I will also talk about when and when not to use Code.getdata and Code.setdata, which is heavily used in the standard document reports. I will give tips on how to modify the standard document reports, which pretty much all customers want changed.
