Our company is requiring specific custom colors for report manager reports including, text boxes and all charts / graphs. Can we create a custom graph template so each time we create a new graph, we use the template with our custom fonts as our base to start from?
Hmmm, hard to do without having a default graph on every new report, that’s customised in the item template.
The templates for new reports are stored ZIP files in the “Program Files” directory, under Microsoft Visual Studio XX -> Common*XX* -> IDE -> ItemTemplates -> Visual Basic/CSharp -> Reporting -> e.g. 1033. A good start might be this article on MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/6db0hwky%28v=VS.90%29.aspx
Alternatively you could provide a template to your developers that they would cut-and-paste from when developing new reports.
I think you’ll still need to create a “style guide” as I don’t believe there’s a way to customise the toolbox when developers add a new textbox or graph.
