title: Create Microsoft SQL Report (SSRS) based on XML data stored in database
body: <p>I'm trying to create a Microsoft SQL Report in Visual Studio 2012. My data input for the report is an XML binary file stored in a database.</p>
  
  <p>To break it down, this is what I would like to do:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Retrieve the XML binary file from the database</p></li>
  <li><p>Populate the report with the content of the XML</p></li>
  <li><p>Create a PDF version of the report</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Step 1 and 3 are not a problem. But step 2 is. I don't know how to use the XML data in a dataset so I use it in the report.</p>
  
  <p>Is there something fundamental I'm missing?</p>
  
  <p>I have created many reports before by using just data from a database but never from XML.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
