Add Reference Dialog Box

Use the Add Reference dialog box to add references to a custom assembly or .NET Framework component to your report. After you add an assembly reference, you can write expressions or embedded custom code that includes fully qualified references to classes or methods in the assembly or component. For more information, see Understanding Expression References (Reporting Services) or Accessing Custom Assemblies Through Expressions.

    Note

    When you publish a report that includes a reference to an external assembly, the assembly must be installed on the report server before the report can be processed successfully.
