Register the objects by kind. In the page's post handler:
How it works. Field names in the template map straight onto object properties, so the report renders directly from the domain classes your app already uses.

IEnumerable or ITypedList — with no dataset conversion.Register the objects by kind. In the page's post handler:
var report = new StiReport();
report.Load(StiNetCoreHelper.MapPath(this, $"Reports/BusinessObjects_{id}.mrt"));
// As a data source
report.RegData("EmployeeIEnumerable", CreateBusinessObjectsIEnumerable.GetEmployees());
// ...or as a business object
report.RegBusinessObject("EmployeeIEnumerable", CreateBusinessObjectsIEnumerable.GetEmployees());
report.Dictionary.SynchronizeBusinessObjects(2);
return StiNetCoreViewer.GetReportResult(this, report);RegData(name, collection)— expose the object collection as a plain data source.RegBusinessObject(name, collection)+SynchronizeBusinessObjects(depth)— register it as a business object and generate its fields to the given nesting depth.
