SQL Server Reporting Service GEEK!!!

As in normal websites , we as web developers , like to have gradient headers in our reports, the Idea is very simple.

First add an image to your report, I will call it HeaderStrip1

On the properties choose the background and choose the source (Embedded) since we add the image to the Report

Choose Value as HeaderStrip1

Make sure that the BackgorundRepeat is "RepeatX"

Final Result :D

To start developing reports for SQL Server reporting service (SSRS) , you need first to install the tool, they don't come with Visual studio , in fact they are a part of SQL server.

• If you don't have SQL server installed on your machine, go and install SQL server, and in the features choose "SQL Server Reporting Services".
• If you had it on the machine, use add/remove and add it form the features

N.B. you don't need to run the SSRS Service while developing it's only required if you are deploying the reports
