How to: Create a Bookmark (Visual Studio Report Designer)

A bookmark link provides a link to a bookmark, or anchor, within the current report. To create a bookmark, set a bookmark on the destination report item and add bookmark links on report items that users should click, such as a word or button, to jump to the bookmarked report item. You can set bookmarks on any report item, but you can add bookmark links only to text boxes and images.

To set a bookmark

  1. Open the client report definition (.rdlc) file in graphical design mode.

  2. Right-click the report item for which you want to set the bookmark and then click Properties.

  3. On the Navigation tab, for Bookmark ID, type or select a bookmark ID or an expression that evaluates to a bookmark ID.

    Note

    The bookmark ID can be any string, but it must be unique in the report. If the bookmark ID is not unique, a link to the bookmark ID will find the first matching bookmark.

  1. Right-click the text box or image to which you want to add a link and then click Properties.

  2. On the Navigation tab, select Jump to Bookmark.

  3. Type or select a bookmark ID or an expression that evaluates to a bookmark ID.
