Centered Images on SSRS

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend :-) We have been breaking our heads to findout any inbuilt functionality to make the images centered on SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS). We had used the controls like Tables, Rectangle & TextBox, but as and when we put the image control inside above controls, the text alignment becomes disabled. At that time we came across the blog written by Chris Hays - solution for Centered Images. Thanks a lot for Chris Hays. The logic works well if we follow the basic rules mentioned by him. He has attached a sample .rdl file as well. That helps to refer.

Great SSAS

I got an wonderful opportunity to explore and do some investigation on Sql Server 2005 Analysis Services (SSAS). I already explored/worked on Sql Server 2005 Reporting Services (SSRS) for my current project. But this is the first time i put my hands on SSAS. It's quite interestion one. Hope you guys know that SSRS is the wonderful reporting tool. Very easy to use and develop. Using SSRS we can easily develop drilldown/charts/general reports rapidly. Even we had used SSRS on Java application using JSP. It work wonderfully. SSAS is altogether a different tool. Using this we can create sophisticated online processing ( OLAP ) and data mining solutions. I'll write more about my experience on SSAS in the coming days... All i can say now is .... Great SSAS

HTML 2 PDF

My project required few HTML forms to be converted to PDF on the fly. I searched lots of stuff on the web and finally i got a wonderful product from websupergoo called AbcPdf.Net. It's is very simple to use and giving excellent output. They are giving 30 days trail as well. Just check it out. My client/PM asked me to give a page break after the title on the PDF. I was generating my PDF stuff from HTML output. The solution i derived using one of the CSS property called page-break-before . It's a good property but has got some limitation. Please follow the link. Quite interesting to face the challanges and coming out with flying colors...(for that definitely we need to work hard...)
