Is it possible to send a DataSet to a Custom code from the report. I am
planning to use .net dll's in my report as a custom code.

If you mean an RS dataset you can't because RS datasets are not exposed
programatically. Some workarounds you may consider:
1. Retrieve an ADO.NET dataset in your code using the same query. In other
words, clone the dataset.
2. If the report has a matrix region, you can redirect the matrix region to
read its values from an embedded function. In this way you can populate a
custom data structure, e.g. an Array or an ADO.NET dataset, which you can
pass the external assembly. As a practical example, you may want to look at
my report sample "Sales by Product Category" which collects the matrix
region data in an array and sends it off to an external assembly to get
forecasted sales.

What are you trying to accomplish? If you want to calculate additional columns based on data in
previous columns within the same row, look into calculated fields. If you want more control over
the dataset manipulation, you can write your own Data Processing Extension which reads in the
dataset and performs whatever logic you want to do on it prior to submitting the data to the report.
