Go to the ObjectDataSource and select Configure Data Source.  This should create a tableadapter for your ObjectDataSource.

Do you have a data source?  Did you add a dataset to your report?  If you don't have the dataset already in the report, then you will need to build the dataset manually.

I'm not sure what  you mean.  I added a dataset before creating the report.  But when I click on Choose Data source of the report viewer it does not show the dataset.

I'm having some issues using VS 2010.  Have you considered upgrading to a newer version of Visual Studio?  Visual Studio Community 2013 is free and is essentially VS Pro 2013.
