How to: Deploy a Custom Report Item

To deploy a custom report item in Reporting Services, you must modify the report server configuration files and copy the design-time and run-time component assemblies into the appropriate application folders for both Report Designer and the report server.

To deploy a custom report item

  1. Edit the Rsreportdesigner.config file to configure the custom report item run-time and design-time components for use in the designer. Note that the ReportItemName entry must match the CustomReportItemAttribute attribute used in your CustomReportItemDesigner class. For example:

    <ReportItems>
       <ReportItem Name="Polygons" Type="PolygonsCRI.PolygonsCRI,PolygonsCRI"/>
    </ReportItems>
    <ReportItemDesigner>
       <ReportItem Name="Polygons" Type="PolygonsCRI.PolygonsDesigner, PolygonsDesigner" />
    </ReportItemDesigner>
    <ReportItemConverter>
       <Converter Source="Chart" Target="Polygons" Type="PolygonsCRI.PolygonsConverter, PolygonsDesigner" />
    </ReportItemConverter>
    
  2. Edit the Rsreportserver.config file to register the custom report item run-time component. For example:

    <ReportItems>
       <ReportItem Name="Polygons" Type="PolygonsCRI.PolygonsCRI,PolygonsCRI"/>
    </ReportItems>
    
  3. Edit the Rsssrvpolicy.config file to add a CodeGroup that grants the proper permissions to the custom report item. For example:

    <CodeGroup 
       class="UnionCodeGroup" 
       version="1" 
       PermissionSetName="FullTrust"
       Description="This code group grants MyCustomReportItem.dll FullTrust permission. ">
       <IMembershipCondition 
          class="UrlMembershipCondition"
          version="1"
       Url="C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\ MSRS10_50.SQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer\bin\MyCustomReportItem.dll" />
    </CodeGroup>
    
  4. Copy the custom report item run-time component DLL to the %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies and \Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10_50.SQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer\bin directories.

  5. Copy the custom report item design-time component DLL to the %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies directory.
