RDL Import Limitations

The current implementation of RDL import in Reports for WinFroms has some limitations. These limitations include:

      Gauge, Chart, and SubReport objects are not supported.

      Expressions for sub-properties of complex RDL properties (such as border width) are not supported.

      Most aggregate functions in RDL have the optional "recursive" parameter. It is not supported.

The following RDL properties are not fully supported yet:

      QueryParameter.Value: Only a literal value may be specified.

      ReportParameter: Parameters referencing data are not supported.

      Hyperlink: Cannot be specified as expression; if several actions are associated with a hyperlink, only the first action is supported.

      ReportItem.Visibility: Cannot be specified as expression.

      ReportItem.Bookmark: Cannot be specified as expression.

      Style.TextAlign.General: Left align is used.
