Connecting toTeradata .NET data provider

I need help connecting to the Teradata .NET data provider inReporting Services.

In Visual Studio I selectNew Project thenBusiness IntelligenceProject.

Once open, in theSolution Explorer I right-click onSharedData Sources and clickAdd New Data Source.

I do not understand how to get "Teradata" to show in theType list ofavailable data sources. I do not want toconnect to Teradata via ODBC or OLD DB. I want to connect directly to the Teradata .NET data provider.

Can anyone with more experience with SSRS help me shed somelight on this?

Add a new report say Test.rdl. Double click on it. The on click on Data tab. This is where you set Datasource etc.

Hi kushpaw, that did not answer my question.

I am aware of how to set a datasource of type ODBC, SQL Server, XML, OLE DB, or Orical. What I want to know is how add Teradata to that list. Keep in mind, from my original question, I do not want to connect to Teradata through ODBC or OLE DB, but connect directly to the Teradata .NET data provider.

Here is the solution for others who may want to do the same thing:

Inrsreportserver.config andRSReportDesigner.config add to the <data> tag
<ExtensionName="Teradata"Type="Teradata.Client.Provider.TdConnection,Teradata.Client.Provider, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=76b417ee2e04956c"/>
*note* The Version, Cutlure, and PublicKeyToken can be found in C:\Windows\assembly

In RSReportDesigner.config add to the <Designer> tag
<ExtensionName="Teradata"Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.QueryDesigners.GenericQueryDesigner,Microsoft.ReportingServices.QueryDesigners"/>
