Description
In some scenarios, it may be necessary to pass custom object values directly to the Report, without using [Global Objects]({%slug telerikreporting/designing-reports/connecting-to-data/expressions/expressions-reference/global-objects%}) as Report Parameters.
Solution
The UserIdentity object has a property Context that by default is Null.
It is of type System.Collections.Concurrent.ConcurrentDictionary<string, object>. You may read more about how to pass a value to
this property in the
[How to use information from HttpContext in Custom Report Resolver]({% slug how-to-pass-information-from-httpcontext-to-reporting-engine %})
KB article. Then in the report, you may access the values of the collection.
For example, the first value of the collection may be used in an [Expression]({% slug telerikreporting/designing-reports/connecting-to-data/expressions/overview %}) like:
= Item(0, UserIdentity.Context.Values)
Note that you won't be able to access the property UserIdentity.Context.Values directly in the Expression editor of the Report Designers. You will have to type it manually.
