Thanks for your patience.

Regarding support of dynamic data sources in LINQ Reporting, we have found a workaround involving recently introduced JsonDataSource and Newtonsoft Json.NET. Please check the following code snippet. Hope this helps you.

// Initialize a dynamic object.
dynamic sender = new ExpandoObject();
sender.Message = "Hello";

// Serialize the dynamic object to JSON.
string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(sender);

// Initialize a JSON data source.
MemoryStream jsonStream = new MemoryStream(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(json));
JsonDataSource dataSource = new JsonDataSource(jsonStream);

// Create a template document.
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder();
builder.Write("<<[Message]>>");

// Fill the template with data.
ReportingEngine engine = new ReportingEngine();
engine.BuildReport(builder.Document, dataSource);

// Print the result document.
Console.WriteLine(builder.Document.GetText());
