I am using SSRS 2005(MS-BIDS 2005) to design reports.For designing one of the table i have a requirement to draw a horizontal lines above and below group headers and footers as shown in the image below
When i try to drag and drop a line from the tool box, i get the below error
Is there any way using which i can draw lines as shown in the image.
Thanks in advance :) .
You can use borders property. Make top and bottom border style as solid in border style and rest as None. Then border color as Black do it where you want lines. And just set border style as None where you don't want it.

I am using a totally standard tablix table (no embedded sub-tables or anything) in a SSRS report with a 1pt solid border around all cells which looks as I would expect during preview with consistent borders.
But when I deploy the report and run it, the borders are inconsistent with a thicker horizontal border line appearing every two or three rows, and the external borders also being inconsistent.
I see the same in Edge and Chrome.
Any ideas?
example here
Try changing the border width to 0.5pt, this worked for me.
I had the same problem.
I solved it by avoiding overlapping of borders of subsequence cells.
Mainly you don't need top border at all.
And you don't need right border for all cells except the right most one.
Here is my settings looks like:
For all cells :
Boarder Style Setting For All Cells
For right most cell:
Boarder Style Setting For Right Most Cell
The border of my top most row is covered by border of header row.
Hope it helps.
In CSS I can set multiple background images to appear one after another using the background: attribute, but when these images appear on the page there is no transition and the edge between them looks quite ugly. Is there a way to implement a shadowed border line between two consecutive backgrounds?
e.g.
#main-body{
background: #222222 url(background.jpg), url(background2.jpg);
}
This code will set two images to the background, when one image ends as you scroll down the page the next one immediately begins. There is no visual transition between the two, it's just two images one after another and doesn't look visually appealing.
The best way to handle the situation here is to draw borders on the top and bottom of your image with desired color and desired width. You can use any image editor to do this and this will also make your task simpler.
I have rectangle which act as container for other elements.
Can I somehow setup some property of rectangle to round its corners, in fact, to get rounded box.
In css it is easy, but how to do in SSRS?
Actually, it is fairly easy. I had a bunch of text boxes that a rounded corner border needed to be placed. The first thing I tried was an image control. I placed it on top of my text boxes and set it to "Send to back." It worked well in print rendering, however, in the browser rendering the HTML placed the textboxes after the image making it look horrible.
The solution was this:
Go into paint and draw a rounded corner box the size you need.
Cut the set of text boxes to surround with rounded border.
Place a rectangle control over the entire area all the text boxes covered.
Paste my text boxes onto the rectangle.
Right-Click and choose rectangle properties.
Select the Fill Tab and select "Embedded" image source.
Click Import and select your paint image(i used PNG but it shouldn't matter).
Click Ok.
Find and expand BackgroundImage on Rectangle and change BackgroundRepeat to "Clip.". Otherwise, your image is repeated.
The report should now render properly in both print and html rendering views. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to stretch/size, so unless you can figure that one out, you will have to repeat whenever you need a different sized rounded box.

All solution I have seen use a background image inside a textbox.
But you get problems when you try to resize the textbox.
The solution is to insert a 3x3 table inside the texbox.
Insert the 3x3 table
Insert an image on each corner. They will be a quarter of a circle each. (This image is created in MS Paint or your favorite image program)
Make those 4 corners cells unresizable (Set property CanGrow to false). Make sure all the other cells have CanGrow = true if you need it
Make all the cells the same background color (same color as the image you draw).
Write your text in the middle cell.
OPTIONAL: It might also be a good idea to fuse the 3 vertical middle cells if possible. It will allow more space to write text in the cell.
This way you won't have to create new image everytime the size of your textbox change.
You would have to build an image that has a transparent center for adding your text.
All this would be more work than I would want to do just for a report.
I would stick with just the standard textboxes.
This is how my current header looks like. I want to edit it that the part in the picture below has the same color as the div next to it / the border. How can I do this?
Code on jsbin: http://jsbin.com/ezeyib/3/
You can acheive this by oversizing the border thickness and then setting the parents overflow to hidden.
See this example.

I mean you need to create a png file using Photoshop or Illustrator to retrieve the expected result.
If you can have a plain background instead of a gradient background, you can create two big blocks (one green and one blue), and on top of those, create a shape with rounded corners which matches the actual look.
Is is possible to create the design shown in the image using HTML and CSS? If so then what would I need to do?
The image is zoomed in so that's why it looks pixelated. The slanted lines are overlaying on top of a different elements with different backgrounds (white and blue). The lines also blend into the background at the end.
You'd probably want to use two different background images for the top and the bottom elements . Use http://www.stripegenerator.com for the basic striped background then use your image editor of choice to create the fade.
This might get you started in the right direction. It's possible but tedious:

You can swap the colors easily. I couldn't get an opacity gradient for the diagonals, however.
