Example

The following code sample shows how to retrieve a report and all its subreports (elements of the XtraReport type) and update settings (the ConnectionName property) of their data sources. In this example, we assume that the type of each data source is SqlDataSource.

C#

using DevExpress.DataAccess.Sql;
using DevExpress.XtraReports.UI;
using DevExpress.XtraReports;
//...

var report = new XtraReport1();

var dataBoundReports = DataSourceManager.GetDataSourceAssignables<XtraReport>(
    report: report,
    includeSubReports: true
);

foreach (var dataBoundReport in dataBoundReports) {
    (dataBoundReport.DataSource as SqlDataSource).ConnectionName = "nwind";
}

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.DataAccess.Sql
Imports DevExpress.XtraReports.UI
Imports DevExpress.XtraReports
'...

Private report = New XtraReport1()

Private dataBoundReports = DataSourceManager.GetDataSourceAssignables(Of XtraReport)(report:= report, includeSubReports:= True)

For Each dataBoundReport In dataBoundReports
    TryCast(dataBoundReport.DataSource, SqlDataSource).ConnectionName = "nwind"
Next dataBoundReport
