WCF compatibility with .rdlc report designer?...

I'm trying to use types exposed by WCF service references in an ASP.NET web
application within the Report Designer. The service references split the type
definitions across multiple .xsd files, which appears to work fine from a
normal coding perspective. But when I try to create a report, the Data
Sources view is empty, I can't add a new data source, and the Report->Data
Sources menu option throws up an error about a schema type not being defined.

The error varies depending on which service references are added to the
project. If the service is extremely simple, with no 'complications'
(enumerations, streams, datasets, etc) it is just about possible to get the
Data Sources window to recognize the service types. But if there's anything
remotely interesting going on, it just fails.

Now, is this something that can be fixed? How can I get the Website Data
Sources panel to recognize types exposed on a WCF service where these types
include at a minimum custom enumerations?

Cheers,

Andy
