SQL Server Reporting Service

Question

Recently I saw a presentation in which the reporting part of the software had a nice feature. When we hovered the mouse over the charts in the report, datailed information regarding that part of the chart appeared as a tooltip.

Is there such a feature in SQL Server reporing services 2005? If not, how can I add it?

Also can I make SSRS 2005 charts to look as beautifull as SSRS 2008? if not, is there a way to hava better colours in charts?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

In SSRS 2005 tooltip is possible only for the full chart, and not for particular bar in the chart. So the tooltip can be useful to show some title of the chart in SSRS 2005. To get more from SSRS 2005 check Get More Out of SQL Server Reporting Services Charts

Answer 2

SSRS 2005没有SSRS2008所能提供的所有优势，图表和图形的工具提示以及良好的图形等仅是由于Microsoft购买了Dundas软件的权利而自2008年以来才作为标准实现的。

Answer 3

There is Dundas charts and Nevron charts that you can use. Dundas charts was bought by Microsoft for inclusion in 2008 so what you get is very similar in capabilities, however I am not sure for how long they will be selling the product and no new updates will be coming to it.

Since charts in SSRS 2005 are rendered as images (true for dundas and nevron as well), there is very little support in terms of tooltips.
