Hi Martin,

I am also looking for the possibility of adding an extra parameter in standard report.

As per the previous posts, I could infer that its not feasible to add manual parameter in the standard report.

Do we have any other way for this ?

Thanks.

Yes, I know, but I was answering your subsequent question ("its necessary to put [DataMemberAttribute] at the top of the class when we are using this as contract?").

I thought your original question was already addressed by Ievgen; I've made no research on it myself.

You declare a class as a data contract by these attributes. If you don't use them, the class isn't a data contract.

But you must use DataContractAttribute, not DataMemberAttribute, at class level.

Hi Sheikh Sohail Hussain,

As far as I know it is not possible. If you want to extend report to add new parameters you can extend menu item\print management to use new controller class that can use new DP and new contract class (they can be derived from standard if you want).

Please refer for details docs.microsoft.com/.../custom-designs-business-docs

docs.microsoft.com/.../extend-report-menu-items
