Bug 121352 The data set binding property cannot be retrieved in report preview layout
In report preview page, the datasource/dataset property binding lists cannot be retrieved. The dataset binding can not work correctly in layout preview because it's value cannot get from the binding list. But in the data set edit page, the binding value can be got. You can refer to the attachment.

* User-defined elements can extend other elements, but style element is not
 * allowed to extend each other. The following is the terminology used for this
 * system.
 * <ul>
 * <li>If element E extends element D, then D is said to be the
 * <em>parent </em> element, and element E is the <em>derived </em> element.
 * </li>
 * <li>We can also use the term <em>base </em> as a synonym for parent. That
 * is, D is the base element above.</li>
 * <li>Element D may in turn extend another element C.</li>
 * <li>We say that C and D are <em>ancestor </em> elements of E, and that D
 * and E are <em>descendents </em> of C.</li>
 * <li>In this simple hierarchy, element E is the <em>most derived </em>
 * element, while element C is the <em>most base </em> element.</li>
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * Inheritance applies to the following:
 * <p>
 * <dl>
 * <dt><strong>Property values </strong></dt>
 * <dd>An element inherits any property values defined by any of its ancestors.
 * If two ancestors define values for the same property, then the inherited
 * value is that defined by the most derived ancestor. This rule is similar to
 * the method overriding rules in Java.</dd>
 * 
 * <dt><strong>Named style </strong></dt>
 * <dd>If an ancestor element explicitly names a style, then the derived
 * element will also use that style (unless the derived element specifies a
 * different style.)</dd>
