        'VB CODE
        ReportViewer1.ProcessingMode = Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ProcessingMode.Local
        ReportViewer1.LocalReport.ReportPath = Server.MapPath("~/Report.rdlc")

        Dim dsUsersInfo As New DataSet1
        Dim con As New SqlConnection("Your Connection String")
        Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("select * from YourTableName", con)
        Dim da As New SqlDataAdapter()
        da.SelectCommand = cmd

        'DataTable1 is the DataTable we have created in Dataset1 that contains our columns
        da.Fill(dsUsersInfo, "DataTable1")


        Dim datasource As New ReportDataSource("DataSet1", dsUsersInfo)
        ReportViewer1.LocalReport.DataSources.Clear()
        ReportViewer1.LocalReport.DataSources.Add(datasource)


        'CSharp Code
        'ReportViewer1.ProcessingMode = Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ProcessingMode.Local
        'ReportViewer1.LocalReport.ReportPath = Server.MapPath("~/Report.rdlc")

        ' DataSet1 dsUsersInfo = new DataSet1();

        '        SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection("Your Connection String"));

        '            con.Open();
        '            SqlCommand cmd1 = new SqlCommand("select * from TableName", con);

        '            SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd1);
        '            da.Fill(dsUsersInfo, "DataTable1");
        '            con.Close();

        '        ReportDataSource datasource = new ReportDataSource("DataSet1", dsUsersInfo.Tables[0]);

        'ReportViewer1.LocalReport.DataSources.Clear()
