LocalReport: Object-in-Object as DataSource not working?

Hi,
I have a Report (VB.NET 2005), and I'm using Objects as DataSource.
I have the object objCompany, which contains a public property MyAdress
(instance of objAdress). objAdress has a propert Street.
When I add objCompany as a DataSource, I want to be able to show the
Street-property of MyAdress. So I do a drag-and-drop of that property from
the Data Sources - Window to the Report. Everything seems fine: I get a
textbox on my report with Value "=First(Fields!Street.Value,
"MyApplication_objCompany")".
But when I run the report, it doesn't show any value in it...
Does anybody knows why this happens? I somehow think because of the fact
that Street isn't directly on MyApplication_objCompany, but when I change it
into MyApplication_objCompany_MyAdress is complains about the fact that it
doesn't exist...
How should I do this?
Thanks a lot in advance,
PieterI found the solution here for nested objects and reporting services
localreport in the reportviewer:
http://www.gotreportviewer.com/objectdatasources/index.html
Apparently I have to do something like "=First(Fields!MyAdress.Value.Street,
"MyApplication_objCompany")".
It gave me these 2 errors:
The Value expression for the textbox 'Adresse' refers to the field
'ReportAdresse'.
Report item expressions can only refer to fields within the current data set
scope or, if inside an aggregate, the specified data set scope.
The Value expression for the textbox 'textbox19' has a scope parameter that
is not valid for an aggregate function.
The scope parameter must be set to a string constant that is equal to either
the name of a containing group, the name of a containing data region, or the
name of a data set.
But sddenly it started to work...
strange... :-/

LocalReport.Render creates PDFs 10x the size of RS 2000

I'm using LocalReport.Render to create PDFs from my VB.Net 2005 application.
The resulting PDF is about 10x the size of the same report rendered from RS
2000. Looking inside the generated PDF file, I see that the main body of the
report is no longer using any compression.
Is there any way to force LocalReport.Render to use the compression that RS
2000 was using?This is a known bug:
