Microsoft Reporting Services Custom Report Item CRI not Visible on Deployed Reports

A Reporting Services CRI (Custom Report Item) may fail to display properly on deployed reports. This error was reported by customers using IDAutomation's Reporting Services Barcode CRI to create barcodes on reports.

The error may occur as follows:

1. When the Barcode CRI is implemented on a report, the Barcode CRI is visible in design and preview mode.
   
2. After the report is deployed, the Barcode CRI disappears completely from the deployed report.
   

This error is generated in the rssrvpolicy.config file, when the <CodeGroup referencing the IDAutomation_ReportingServices_BarcodeCRI.dll is outside the first CodeGroup element.

Place the <CodeGroup reference of the IDAutomation_ReportingServices_BarcodeCRI.dll after the first <CodeGroup element.

For example:

<CodeGroup class="FirstMatchCodeGroup" version="1" PermissionSetName="Nothing">
<IMembershipCondition class="AllMembershipCondition" version="1" />

<CodeGroup
  class="UnionCodeGroup"
  version="1"
  PermissionSetName="FullTrust"
  Description="This code group grants
  IDAutomation_ReportingServices_BarcodeCRI.dll FUllTrust permission. ">
  <IMembershipCondition class="UrlMembershipCondition"version="1"
  Url="C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.3\Reporting Services\
  ReportServer\bin\IDAutomation_ReportingServices_BarcodeCRI.dll" />
</CodeGroup>

ect.......................

The Barcode CRI should now be visible on deployed reports.

In the even this does not resolve the issue, IDAutomation recommends using Windows Forms Controls instead of the CRI on reports.

• IDAutomation® Reporting Services Barcode Custom Report Item CRI Tutorial.
• Microsoft Reporting Services Barcode CRI.
• Reporting Services Barcode Integration Options.
• ActiveX Control & DLL - creates barcode images in Access Reports from a drag-and-drop object.
• Barcode Label Design Software - allows easy report and label designing with database support.
• .NET Forms Controls - create and print barcodes directly from Microsoft Visual Studio .NET applications.
