display child object fields on a visulaforcepage with parents standard controller

Hi all, 

 

how can I show related list records on a VF page where the standardcontroller is on the Parents object. 

 

I have to create a report that will be rendered as a pdf when someone click the "Generate PDF" button. For this I need to create the VF on Parents obejcts. But how can I show my Line Items (which is the related list records) on the VF?

Hi,
Try this type of vf code.
<apex:page standardController="Parent__c" renderAs="pdf">
<apex:relatedList list="Child__r" />
</apex:page>

No that doesn't work. I'm not trying to display a related list but actually pick and choose some fields along with the fields from Parents to make a custom report that will then render as a report and save it on the attachment. 

 

I believe I will have to write a SOQL query to fetch all the child records and display it on the report but thanks anyway.

This is my entire apex code

           CustomLastName = lstName[0];
           if(lstName.size() > 1)
