Hi,

Is there a way to rotate fields or tables in Visual Studio for the printing of RTC reports?

I know its not possible in Classic reports but was wondering if it could happen in Visual Studio.

For clarification, the paper orientation would be portrait, I would have a 4" x 6" label, and the text would run parallel to the 6" side.

Thanks.

    No, the RDLC 2005 doesn't have this functionality. You can do it only through some code through generating picture with the rotated text (do not forget, you are in .net and you can use the existing assemblies for the magic).

    Yes, this is possible for fields, you control this with the WritingMode property.

    Really? I thought that it is possible only in newer RDLC... or it is something else?

    Hi Kine,

    Maybe you mistake this with Justify text which is not possible.
