Changing the font of the text in an SSRS Report

Question

Hi,

Im trying to change the font of the text in my SSRS Report using the SSRS Expression language.

e.g.: i have a textbox in my report and i set the Value property of it using the SSRS Expression language

="hello"

is there a way to make the "hello" literal an underlined string.

Thanks

Answer 1

AFAIK there is no way to change this in an expression. You can, however, modify the ReportingServices.css file to change this.

It's normally located here:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.3\Reporting Services\ReportManager\Styles\

Unless I'm missing something, you set this using properties. You can't do it via the "expression language" (which is VB.net, BTW).

In your example, the text you have is just the Value property: everything is a property...

Answer 3

In the Text Decoration expression value, you can put =Iif(Me.Value = "hello", "Underline", "None")
