Creating a Custom Report Item
New: 5 December 2005
A custom report item is an extension to the Report Definition Language (RDL) that allows developers to add functionality that’s not natively supported in RDL or extend the functionality of existing controls. A custom report item consists of a run-time component that is called by the report processor at report execution time, and a design-time component that is used in a host design environment (such as Report Builder) to define properties for the custom report item.
This section will cover the requirements for implementing a custom report item.
