In K2 Blackpearl you have access to a K2 Report Designer making it fairly easy to create custom reports, however in Blackpoint there is no report designer. The good news is you can still create custom reports by creating a new Web Application in Visual Studio & using the ADO.net provider that ships with Blackpoint for interacting with Smartobject data.

This includes any SmartObjects that you create against SharePoint content, Workflow SmartObjects that you can configure when designing your process, as well as some pre-configured reporting SmartObjects which are used by the out of the box reports in the process portal.

The ADO.net provider allows you to build ASP.net forms as well as SQL Reporting Services reports in much the same way as you would use any other ADO.net provider.

Today I will show you the ASP.net example. The recording attached to this post also discusses using the ADO.net Provider in a SQL Reporting Services report. The configuration of the data source is similar for ASP.net and SQLRS.

For this example I have created a basic web page project. There are 2 things that you will need to configure to ensure that your ASP.net page works properly with the data provider”
