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,
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
