Need information on createDrillThroughContext function

In our application, we want to implement createDrillThroughContext function.

Would anyone tell me what that function does, how to use it, where I can use it, and any other related information.

The information on the RDL spec is not very helpful.

Hi Jinlin-

You can find more information about DrillThroughContext at: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159112.aspx

The CreateDrillThroughContext() method is used by report builder for autogeneration of drillthrough reports. It produces a DrillThroughContext which is passed back to the model. Given the model and the DrillThroughConext, the report server will auto create a report.

In general, if you which to create custom model based drillthrough reports, use report builder to create a report and set the "Drillthough" property under the report properties menu. You then can bind that report to a specific model item using Management Studio.

Thanks, Jon
