Reading MSDN (and other sources) about custom report items (CRI) for reporting services 2005. It looks like I’m limited to generating a bitmap. Not even with some mapping overlay for detecting mouse clicks on it. Is there away to go around this? There are two things I would like to do:

  • Embed HTML directly into the report, to format dynamic text.
  • Embed flash (swf) control in the report. This could be done with HTML if the previous point is possible. But maybe there is another way

Any suggestions? What am I missing?

  1. You didn’t missing anything.

    For me, like you mentioned, the main disadvantage is, that with a CRI you can only render images. You don’t get any scalable text or something similar. If you want include swf, you need to render it as static image.
