Authoring Custom Report Controls

Hi,

I'm using VS2005 Beta 2 (April) and SQL Server 2005 (CTP April 2005) and I'm very interested in creating my own custom control for SQL Server 2005 ReportingServices.

I understand that in order to do this I have to inherit from some classes (CustomReportItem?) and other interfaces which are declared in the following namespaces:

using Microsoft.ReportingServices.Interfaces;
using Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportRendering;
using Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportProcessing;

Does anybody have a simple example I can use similar to the SimpleControl Sample for Windows Forms control? Or any other pointers?

Many thanks,

The documentation and sample for Custom Report Item is planned to be available around the time SQL 2005 releases. They are not available at this time.

|||Hi Christopher,
i've got exact the same problem and searching for answers too. did u have n e prosperties in the meantime ? i've got an MS-live-meeting today to solve this problem, hopefully. if u need help ...|||Does anybody know anything more about this yet?

Many thanks!|||

Hi,
What's the status on this topic?
- Does it work in the current release at all or is the sample just not produced?
- If you have anything like an embryo to a sample I'd be grateful for input...we're starting a development project now so, an answer would much appreciated

Thanks in advance

AttachDbFilename in SQL Server (not express)

I've been working with VWD Express since its Beta 1, then Beta 2 and finally the final release.
With the Beta 2 I've been worked with crystalreports without any problem in connections to SQL Server 2000.
The problem arrives now: I'm working with godaddy.com (good guys)
They tell me to connect to my databases (SQLServer 2005) with this:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="Personal" connectionString="
Server=whsql-v04.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net;
Database=DB_675;
User ID=user_id;
Password=password;
Trusted_Connection=False" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
<remove name="LocalSqlServer"/>
<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="
Server=whsql-v04.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net;
Database=DB_675;
User ID=user_id;
Password=password;
Trusted_Connection=False" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>

But I've been always using this:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="AppConnectionString1"
connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|myMDF.mdf;
Integrated Security=True;
User Instance=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
</connectionStrings>

Does it means that I cannot use "AttachDbFilename"? I mean, I can't use an attached db file?
Should I create all my tables another time? (they use a Web database Admin)
Thanks in advance.
Correct. SQL Express does not scale in a shared hosting environment. See this post:http://forums.asp.net/1108464/ShowPost.aspx
