Crystal report using a dataset.

1
What am I doing wrong?
Is there a better way?

I created a report using a table, and this works OK.
But I would like to be able to use a dataset for this report.
I will populate the dataset using a stored procedure.

I have tried the following to set the datasource to a dataset but I get errors.

Dim cn As New SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings_
("SqlConnection"))
Dim cmd As New SqlCommand
cmd.Connection = cn
cmd.CommandText = "rpQuestLabels"
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
Dim da As New SqlDataAdapter(cmd)
Dim rds As New DataSet '(cmd.CommandText)
da.Fill(rds, "tmpQuestLabels")
* rds.WriteXml("C:\questxml.xml")
Dim oReport As New _
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocum ent
Dim reportName As String = Server.MapPath("QuestLabels.rpt")
oReport.Load(reportName)
oReport.SetDataSource(rds)
CrystalReportViewer2.ReportSource = oReport

Exception Details: CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.InternalExc eption: Failed to open a rowset.

Note: * I have verified the dataset by exporting it to an xml file and it looks OK.
I am new to Crystal Reports and I find it not easy to use, I used a table when creating the report because I couldn't get it to work anyother way.

I've been searching the web for a few days now, and the method I'm using seems to be what several sites suggested.
