RDLC File - Adding a new Field To existing file. C#

Korvanica

I have to modify one of the reports that our system produces.
These reports are generated using RDLC files.

I've added the necessary back end to get the info needed for the new field "EmployeeName".

//lunchtime report
lunch.Reason = request.SqlDataReaderResult["Reason"].ToString();
lunch.Record_No = (int)request.SqlDataReaderResult["Record_No"];
lunch.Seq = (int)request.SqlDataReaderResult["Seq"];
[B]lunch.EmployeeName = request.SqlDataReaderResult["EmployeeName"].ToString();[/B] // new field

But when i do a call in my rdlc file

"=Fields!EmployeeName.Value"

it causes an error:

Error 1 The Value expression for the textbox ‘textbox14’ refers to the field ‘EmployeeName’. Report item expressions can only refer to fields within the current data set scope or, if inside an aggregate, the specified data set scope.

anyone have this issue before?

You have possibly lost a column somewhere.

Lost a column? Doesn't seem like I have..

Another Issue.. The datasource for the rdlc file no longer appears in the list of Datasources.

I was creating a new one, (a copy) from scratch to see if it would sort out the error but no datasource can be found
