Can ReportViewer render a hyperlink with a relative path?

Question

I have created a local report on a datasource that has a field named "RelativePath". When my WinForms app renders the report, it exports files to the location specified in the RelativePath field. In the report builder, I set Navigation|Hyperlink action|Jump to URL to "=Fields!RelativePath.Value" and set the report's EnableHyperlink property to true. Whenever my app renders the report, however, the hyperlink is not active. If I hardcode the Jump to URL to an absolute path, however, it works just fine. Does the ReportViewer not render a hyperlink with a relative path?

Answer 1

I have been struggling with the same problem after which i came to the conclusion that the reportviewer does not support hyperlinks with the relative path. To solve this problem is by adding a custom code that retrieves the relative path then concantenate with the field values that you may wish to be part of the URL - atleast that works for me.
