    SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
    SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter("Select CatalogNo as CatalogNo, Productname as ProductName, Quality_Plan_Ref_No as QPRefNo,Drawing_No as DrawingNo,ISR_No as ISRNo,BatchNo as BatchNo,Allotted_Qty as AllottedQty,CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),Allotted_Date,105) as AllottedDate from Batch_Allott where CatalogNo='0464' ", con);
    da.Fill(ds, "temp");
    ReportViewer1.LocalReport.DataSources.Clear();
    ReportViewer1.ProcessingMode = ProcessingMode.Local;

    lr.ReportPath = "Report1.rdlc";
    lr.DataSources.Add(new ReportDataSource("Dataset1_Batch_Allott", ds.Tables[0]));
}

Solution 1

Select the Tablix and then right click on the left top Square. Select Tablix Properties.

In the Tablix Properties window make sure you have your Dataset name selected.

I ran into this problem after I deleted the previous Dataset and it was left blank. If you don't see one in the dropdown you might need to go to View|Report Data and Refresh it.

Solution 2

You have to add the dataset for the rdlc report. In report design you can configure the dataset fields.

You can find the configuration option in View -> Report Data

If you have already added the dataset for this, there is other case that you have to refresh the dataset if you modify it.
