通过linq在Visual Studio 2010中使用Crystal Report

Question

i am working on an application in which i need to use reporting. i have used LINQ to entities and MS SQL server as database in my whole application. Now when i started working reports i noticed that crystal reports or no more included in visual studio. i downloaded it separately and installed it. i have also designed my report successfully but the problem is that how would i use LINQ with it?? I translated my linq query into datatables and it worked but the problem i am stuck at is, my report is based on two tables, after translation i am able to see records of first table but not the second one.

Can any one please help me with it?

use this

    Dim db As New NorthwindEntities
    Dim query = db.Employees.Select(Function(p) p)
    Dim oRpt As New CrystalReport1
    oRpt.SetDataSource(query)
    CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = oRpt
