zoom and move map control

Question

Hello,

when designing a report and using the Map .Net control, you can zoom the map and move it around. But when you run the report, it will be static in both size and position. Is it possible to let the users zoom and move the map after they have rendered the report? 

Answer 1

I assume you're talking about the SSRS map component? (not quite sure what the Map .Net control you're referring to is)

Unfortunately, no - this is not possible. You can add buttons that allow users to pan and/or zoom the map by re-rendering the report, passing appropriate parameters for the location at which the map should be centered, but the user experience is pretty awful.

If you want a "slippy" map display, consider creating a webpage that integrates the SSRS report alongside the Bing Maps AJAX control.

Yes, I am meant the SSRS map component. Thank you for your answer, even if it was not the answer I hoped for... :o)
