Starting in 2019, the Reporting control is no longer included in Essential Studio®. If you're experiencing issues with the Syncfusion� Reporting Platform, Report Viewer, Report Designer, or Report Writer, we recommend migrating to Bold Reports, our dedicated reporting platform.

Bold Reports offers a comprehensive suite of tools and features for all your reporting needs, and we will help you make a smooth transition from the discontinued control. Our support team at https://support.boldreports.com/ is here to assist you with any questions or difficulties you may encounter during the migration process.

Hi Lorenz,

We have prepared a sample to use RDL report with SQL datasource in WPF ReportViewer and it can be downloaded from the following location.

Hi Lorenz,

We have support to view PostgreSQL connection through ODBC driver in our Reporting controls. You have to create a DSN to connect PostgreSQL through ODBC driver. Refer to the below link for more details about configuring the DSN with ODBC driver.
