Suppose we have simple master (Person) and detail (Favorite
Actor and Favorite
Movie) tables in our database .
To write a report that doesn’t make use of sub reports we need to have a single dataset as shown below

Create a new report project and drag the List control for Master table and two Tablix inside List for the detail records.

Select the list and set Group Properties for the Row Groups as shown below.

Select the row for the first tablix that shows Favorite Actor information, right click it and specify group properties as FAID (i.e. primary key for that table)


Do the same for the other tablix (Movie table).


Run the report, it will show the following output

To hide the tablix if there is no data, set its Hidden Property using the following expression
For tablix 1 à
=IIF(IsNothing(Fields!FAID.Value),True,False)
For tablix 2 à
=IIF(IsNothing(Fields!FMID.Value),True,False)
The DataSet query
select P.Id, P.FirstName, P.LastName,fa.Id as FAID,fa.firstname,fa.lastname, fm.Id as FMID,fm.Movie from Person P
left outer join FavoriteActor as FA on P.Id = FA.PersonId
left outer join FavoriteMovie as FM on P.Id = FM.PersonId

Hope it helps

Generics

Generics allow us to have type or method which can operate on objects of various types, while providing type safety at the compile time. That means if you define generics class object of type Integer & you are trying to add different type of variable to generic class like String then it will give compile time error. In another sense, if we try to add different types in same list like string and int in a same list then compile time error will be thrown. Generics are available under the namespace System. Collections .Generic. The concept of type parameters is introduce to the .NET Framework with the help of Generics, which makes it possible to design classes & methods which defer the specification of one or more types until that class or method is declared and instantiated by the client code. public class MyGenericClass { void Add(T val) { } ...
