Can I dynamically change the width of objects?

I have a problem using the table object. I have columns that I sometimes want to show, and I want the page to run off the edge and be two pages. However, usually I'm hiding many of the columns and the table "shrinks" enough to fit on one page. When this happens, the table looks right on the first page, but I get blank pages after it, because the report itself will not shrink.
Is there a way to dynamically change the size of the table and report so that it doesn't print blank pages if it doesn't need to?
Thanks,
John
Unfortunately, there is no way to shrink the body size of the report. This is under consideration for a future release.|||

We had same situation where user would select few columns out of some possible 50 data columns.

We ended with doing some logic programmatically.

1) GetReportDefinition() of report containing 50 columns

2) As rdl from #1 is XML, we manipluate the xml by deleting the unselected columns and reordering them as per selected display order

3) publish the new report with unique name to a temp folder in reporing server

4) Now generate the report

5) then delete the report from temp folder

|||

We have the same issue with a client where a dense grid in 12.5 in body with borders it is 13in. The client uses IE6.

I read that IE7 supports Shrink-to-fit. Would that work with SSRS reports pending the Shrink-to-fit functionality printing in SSRS?

Thanks

Can I change a field/column width in a script ?

Can I change a field/column width in a script ? For example, I have a table
where field COL1 is a varchar(200). The table already has data in it. I
would like to increase the width of field COL1 to be varchar(300). Can I do
this in a script ? Thank you.Assuming no keys or constraints reference the column:
ALTER TABLE tablename
ALTER COLUMN Col1 VARCHAR(300)
You won't lose any data if you do this (but if you went the other way, you
could).

I feel that Alter Table command will "FAIL" if we have a column with
varchar(300) and if few columns contains more than 200 characters
already in place, and if you change it to varchar(200).
In this case to alter the column to Varchar(200) we may need to update the
column to have less than = 200 characters
update table
set column = substring(column,1,200)
Remember that the above command will truncate the records which are holding
more than 200 charecters
After that you can alter the table to varchar(200)
alter table xx_tab alter column columnname varchar(200)

Can custom assemblies be used to apply styles to reports

What is Custom assembly ? Can I use a custom assembly to apply styles
( bgcolor,font,height,width etc) to report elements at runtime using
reporting services coding ?
Thanks,
Anand Sagar
anandsagar@.gmail.comYou don't need a custom assembly. Click on a report item (for example, a textbox) and in the
Property Browser window (generally in the bottom-right of the Report Designer shell) and change the
desired property to an expression. For example, you could change Color to:
=iif (Parameter!BeColorful.Value = True, "Red", "Black")

Can a TextBox Height and Width be set dynamically?

SSRS 2005
I have a custom code assembly which I am using to control my textbox font
settings at run time. That works fine.
However I would also like to set the Location Left and Top and Size Width
and Height properties of my textboxes using functions in my custom code
assembly.
However no matter what I try I get this error message:
====================================== Property value is not valid.
=...[my function name]...cannot be parsed as a unit because it does not
contain numeric values. Examples of valid unit strings are "1pt" and ".5in".
======================================
I tried returning a string as indicated, a double value, etc. Nothing works.
Is this just a case where these properties cannot be set dynamically? That
seems to be the indication in this old forum post:
10/15/2004
"Text Box... Width"
"The height and width of a textbox are fixed at design time and cannot use
the database table schema to set them at runtime."

I do not understand Chris Connor's suggestion.
Can you clarify what he is suggesting that I do?
What does the =@.Parameter syntax signify?
Is he suggesting that I can call my custom code assmebly function this way,
or is he saying to assign values to TextBox Height and Width using report
parameters instead?
Please read my original post and provide whatever information you can.
Thanks!

This was my question in my prior reply, but you did not answer it:
"What does the =@.Parameter syntax signify?"
Can you please answer that question?

I am not sure about what does Chris Conner means but I assume he just
suggest to you to pass the Report Parameter to your code to check whether
you could modify the textbox layout.
But from your scenario, it seems could not been implement. So I replied and
would like to know whether you feel it helpful.

Did you confirm that Chris Connor's suggestion works?
It seems to me that textbox height and width must be hard coded at design
time with a static value and that they can not be set programatically (either
using a custom assembly or a report parameter) at run time. This seems to be
a limitation in the product. Can you please confirm that this is a limitation
in the product?
Or do you have a way to accomplish this dynamic behavior?

Based on my research, since the Height and Width is readonly, you could not
set the value.
My suggestion is to use the XML web services.
You need to generate the RDL file by your self.
