Hello,

I wrote a custom data provider for the SQL Server Reporting Services. I found many articles describing how to retrieve and use the extended properties, but nothing about how to set them in my custom data provider.

So my question is, how can I define extended field properties, such as color and formatting, in my custom data provider so that I can call them in my reports?

I want to hook the column.color and set it in my data provider based on a related value from a second tablex. Then in my rdlc file I create an expression to set the color to column.color which would be obtained from the data provider.
