From: jim on 27 Jan 2010 14:23 We did it in 2005 to ensure exact positioning of a header/detail form, being able to dictate the number of lines, etc. Although I have a feeling it could be done with the tablix now, I was hoping for a quick conversion without going through all the reports. FWIW, our renderer has worked well for the last couple of years. Here's the page from BOL, notice the ReportRendering link is dead: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms155344.aspx "Bruce L-C [MVP]" wrote: > I am not familiar with how you write a renderer but I would think you walk > the xml object model in the RDL specification.

From: Bruce L-C [MVP] on 27 Jan 2010 15:37 Now I understand what is missing. I downloaded the most recent books online (October 2009, only way I know to get it is through MSDN). This link: Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportRendering is still dead. Have you tried the rendering extension you have against a report that you migrated from 2005. It might still work. If it did then you could look at using the tablix features on new reports instead of using the rendering extension. -- Bruce Loehle-Conger MVP SQL Server Reporting Services "jim" <jim(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:C9CAA315-F98D-410A-9770-3C5450EFDB4B(a)microsoft.com... > We did it in 2005 to ensure exact positioning of a header/detail form, > being > able to dictate the number of lines, etc. Although I have a feeling it > could > be done with the tablix now, I was hoping for a quick conversion without > going through all the reports.

That's the real problem. The new object model doesn't support the List type, which is what we used. Have to convert them all to tablix but having difficulty figuring out how to render.
