Filler dots for Table of Contents in Reporting Services

Question

Does anyone have a slick way of adding filler dots to a table of contents page in RS?

This would not be a problem were it using proportional fonts.

e.g.

Monkey.........5
House..........1
Tree...........11
Underpants.....2

Obviously the example above sucks as the font is proportional

Answer 1

I'm not sure whether this is helpful or not, but since you have control over the TOC, rather than building it as a single field, do you have the option to set it up as a table with three columns (the title, the dots, the page number)?

Whilst this would give you white-space between the title and the start of the dots, it would at least mean that the padding would be of a consistent length.

In this scenario, you could alternatively generate the dots as a patterned line inside the table cell, rather than with repeated characters.

Answer 2

This does not appear to be possible in SQL Server Reporting Services 2008.
