Method MergeFields

Namespace

Assembly

MergeFields(RdlElement, IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<string, string?>>)

Merges discovered fields into a dataset, as one undo entry: a field the dataset lacks is added with its DataField and rd:TypeName, and a field it has without an rd:TypeName gains one. A type the author already declared is never changed. Without a declared type a field is text to the engine (its sample data invents "Total 1", and Sum of it is #Error), so typing existing fields matters as much as adding new ones.

public int MergeFields(RdlElement dataSet, IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<string, string?>> fields)

Parameters

dataSet RdlElement

The DataSet element.

fields IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<string, string>>

Each field's name and type name from discovery (Decimal or System.Decimal), or a null type when unknown.

Returns

int

The number of fields added or typed.
