Hi,

I downloaded "Building Custom Report Views Webprt" white paper from the Microsoft site and tried implementing it.
I intially created a Windows Control Library project and created a usercontrol.
I built this application in to a DLL,created a strongname to it and then put this asembly in GAC.

I then created a pmbuilder.exe.config file in the location given below.
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Business Scorecard Manager 2005\Builder"

The content of the file is given below:-

<configuration>
<configSections>
<sectionGroup name="Bpm">
<section name="CustomReportViews" type="System.Configuration.DictionarySectionHandler, System, Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089"/>
</sectionGroup>
</configSections>

<Bpm>
<CustomReportViews>
<add key="SampleCustomReportView" value="CustomReportViewSample.SampleCustomReportViewWinControl, CustomReportViewSample, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7efb1627d6df9743" />
</CustomReportViews>
</Bpm>
</configuration>

Now when i create a new workspace and create a new scorecard and go to "Report Views" Tab and say "Add", it throws up an error saying that
"Could not load the Report Extensions for the type "SampleCustomReportView""

Any idea why this is happening and how to resolve this.
Any one has tried creating a custom report view?
Any help you be of great help to me.
Many Thanks !

Hi Archana,

Here's the latest from our support engineer:

I found in our newsgroup microsoft.public.office.businessscorecardmanager, the same ISV customer Archana Kamath also posted 05/24/2006 12:56:09 about the same problem, but on 05/25/2006 16:55:16 he said "Thanks I got it working!".

Hi,

I was actually trying to build the custome report view using Visual studio 2005 and it was not working.

When i tried the same thing with VS 2003 it just worked fine.

Any idea,why this behaviour?I also have a requirement of refreshing just the Office REport Webpart and not the whole page when the report view selection is changed in the dropdown box.Any idea how to accomplish this.Any inputs on this will be of great help to me

Thanks & Regards,

Archana

Per the support engineer:

1. For the Visual Studio 2005 issue, since in the requirement, it only mentions supporting .NET 1.1, I would suggest you use .NET 1.1 and Visual Studio 2003.
