I'm using Visual Studio 2012 for the application and MYSQL for the database.

The problem is I have is to create a report using ReportViewer (crystal report didn't support VS 2012 yet) but using a MYSQL database. And I didn't have any experience using ReportViewer

  1. Is there any way to insert a Dataset to .rdlc document without using Wizard, or can I create a datasource from the Wizard that are linked to my MYSQL database?

  2. Is there any other available solution to generate a report from VS 2012?

EDIT

So the Crystal Report for VS2012 have been launched at 14 January this year. Here is the link to the Crystal Report discussion. I think I'll using crystal report for the reporting.

Why didn't u follow the wizard?

PREREQUIRED: MySQL Connector for .NET

New DataSet -> New... -> Database -> DataSet -> New Connection -> select "MySQL Database"

Now you have to select the location of your mysql server, username/password ecc...
