Correct alignment of Reporting Services positions

Question

Is there a way to align my positions correctly, say with a page or other element in a report using Report Services 2008? Right now, I kind of imitate this, however, moving the elements to the right manually so that they look correctly aligned, however, when there is an element with a dynamic width (for example, a table with data in the horizontal direction), it is obvious that this approach does not work. What is the right way to do this?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, they do not have the horizontal alignment feature available in the RDL specification (vertical alignment and text alignment), so there is no better way to do this.

You can use some tricks to get visual effects closer or perfect (text files work fine, tablix are more rigid and depend on a number of their settings):
- Put the right edge where you want, and drag the left edge to the maximum size you want to serve, set the text alignment property to the right, set CanGrow to false (in the table you have to do for the columns themselves, where in the text box it available directly): what this will do is to allow the correct alignment of the text to align correctly with growth processing and the absence of export problems.
- Another trick is to put your elements in a rectangle, which can help limit it.

These parameters will work perfectly with dynamically generated RDL or settings in BIDS or Report Builder, as well as all parameters, since RDL is a limiting factor, and not a tool / method that creates it.

Answer 2

Place the header and footer text boxes on the right side of the report area from the sub-report alignment to bring them to RIGHT in the sub-report.
