  Looks like the issue I was having before is because of the VB templates used for the LightSwitch projects. I'll have to escalate this with the LightSwitch team.

  Hey Paul,
  
  I've tried the same steps in VB and at least on my end everything worked as expected. Here is the VB version.

  PS: There is one additional step in VB - when you add the UserControl you need to declare the class in a namespace otherwise you will unable to add it later as custom control on the screen.

  Thanks again Vlad.
  
  I eventually figured out the work around. (see this thread on msdn http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/lightswitchgeneral/thread/40cec0eb-2f68-4243-af6e-377bf4274f53)
  
  Now to try and get LightSwitch data into the report.
  
  Cheers!

  Thanks Vlad,
  
  Next question... how to bind locally.
  
  Cheers :)

  So pretend I'm an end user trying to get this to work in my first LightSwitch application.  Will I be able to design reports using the LightSwitch Entity Sets concept and access the reports in a somewhat seamless fashion?  I do I have to be a pretty expert developer to get this to work?
  
  I've mentioned before - getting Telerik reporting to work in a seamless fashion with LightSwitch would be a huge win.  Anything less and you'll just have a lot of frustrated people and it will be only be used by the few genius developers that are playing with LS for other reasons.

  Hi Paul, 
  
  Local binding is not possible currently, as far as I know, since the reports are generated server-side and only previewed on the Silverlight client. I'll ask our Reporting team for more info.
  
  Bruce,
  I believe that our products are for developers not for end users :) and I don't believe that you need to be super genius developer to insert single line of XAML (since this is the only code I've wrote to build this). Nevertheless I'm sure that you will see many improvements in the future - in the meantime it is up to you and your current business needs to decide if you are going to use this approach or not.

  Thanks Vladimir.
  
  This was really helpful for getting a report viewer setup in my Lightswitch project.
  
  Can you please update this post to show I can now point the report viewer to my own myReportLibrary?
  
  Thanks for you help.
• Vlad 04 May 2011
  Hi Mark,
  
  You can specify your library using Report property of the ReportViewer.

  Hi Vlad,
  
  Was there any response from your reporting team regarding the question on binding reports locally?
• Vlad 10 May 2011
  Hi Paul,
  
  Here is the response:
  
  "As of now, our plans include client-side report authoring, while rendering reports on the Silverlight end is not in our current scope. "

  Hi gang,
  
  Here is a post of how I used the Telerik Report Viewer in a LightSwitch (beta 2) application.

  Can you run your sample without having VS 2010 Pro?

  I ran the sample and got this error….

  An exception occurred during the operation, making the result invalid.  Check InnerException for exception details.

  I realized I didn’t have AdventureWorks installed, so I did that, but I’m still getting the above errors.

  Hi,
  I'm getting the following erro when I launch the application:
  An exception occurred during the operation, making the result invalid.  Check InnerException for exception details.
  this message appear in the middle of the report window.
  Any idea?
• Daniel 05 Oct 2011
  About my last message above, does it have anything to do with iis, because I don't have it.
• Daniel 05 Oct 2011
  I further tried to make the example run, but still no idea on what is wrong.
  What do I have to do with the WCFService project? Do I have to publish it?
