Declaration

Remarks

To provide parameters of custom types to your report, you should create a custom report design extension, inherited from the ReportDesignExtension class.

Then, register the extension (using the ReportDesignExtension.RegisterExtension method) and associate the report with the custom extension (ReportDesignExtension.AssociateReportWithExtension).

To learn more, see Creating Custom Report Parameters.

Another scenario for using the ReportDesignExtension is the XML serialization of custom parameters and other objects.
