Using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio (version 13.0.10) from within VS 2013, when I create an .RPT file that uses a database connection to an ADO.NET XML file as a data source, if I Preview the report, I initially see "dummy" data (colors, days of the week, etc.) displayed instead of data from the XML file.
If I then go back to the Main Report tab, select Database Expert and click OK on the dialog box (without making any changes to the data source), then Refresh Report Data in the Preview selecting "Prompt for new parameter values", only then will it load data from the XML file.
My questions are as follows: how can I get it to load data from the XML file from the start? Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? (and if it's a bug, will it be fixed in the next service pack).
In case it helps, I have also attached the XML data file (Test2013.xml)
Thanks in advance for your help!
