You can also initialize and enable XPObjectSource in code. Create an XPObjectSource instance. Initialize the XPObjectSource.ConnectionStringName property and pass the persistent object type to the XPObjectSource.SetEntityType method. Then, pass the XPObjectSource instance to the XtraReportBase.DataSource property of your XtraReport.

using DevExpress.Xpo;
using DevExpress.Xpo.Metadata;
using DevExpress.XtraReports;
// ... 
XPObjectSource dataSource = new XPObjectSource();
dataSource.ConnectionStringName = "ConnectionString";
dataSource.SetEntityType(typeof(Product));
using(XtraReport2 report = new XtraReport2()) {
    report.DataSource = dataSource;
    // ... 
    // Preview the report or do something else. 
    // .. 
}
