Basic Functionality Questions

We've been trying to implement Reporting Services in our web application. We've run into 2 issues that I'd like to verify:

First, HTML rendering. In our application we provide an HTML Editor for formatting. The formatting does not render in the reporting services. I understand that's a known issue with no work around and no timeframe for resolution. Is that correct?

Second issue comes with tying is the Reporting Services together with our ASP.NET code. Do any of the Reporting Services controls allow you to bind to classes that support the IList Interface?

Thanks,

1) RS text box control does not render HTML. It supports standard formatting which applies to the entire contents of the textbox rather than individual bits of text as in a rich text box control.

2) RS reports are rendered based on the report definition and do not support binding custom datasets at runtime through the IList interface.

Barcode font not exporting to PDF

I have a report that uses a barcode font and it works good in the standard HTML Report but it is blank when I export it to PDF. It also works when i export to tif or excel, but it fails when i goto pdf - Any ideas?Hi xhomerx,
Can you please let me know how you embedded barcode font in SQL Server Reporting Services. I have barcode font in "C:\WINNT\FONTS" but it does not appear in SQL Server R S, rather it does in MS Office.
Your help is much appreciated

Thanks,
Krishna|||Did you install the Bar Coding Font on the Computer that is running Report Services? I am not verrified that this is the problem, but it is a logical place to start. Let me know if this doesnt work and i will do some tests over here to see exactly what u need.

It is a known defect/drawback in SQL RS. When I worked at my previouscompany we had a similar problem. We had plenty of talks with Microsoft( our company was a premiere customer) still we havent been able to geta proper response from MS. On another note I found a third party toolthat solves this issue. Cant remember the name off the top of my headwill post back if I remember.
