SSRS Drill down. How to do bigger back button?

Hi

My partner (Katie) created a report with drill down and that works fine however there is requirement to create back button. We know there is a small arrow on the toolbar which does it and we would like to replicated it but on the report itself and make it more obvious for users.

Is there a way to do that?

Many thanks in advance

You should be able to place a button on a web page outside the ReportViewer control and have it call ReportViewer.PerformBack (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.reporting.webforms.reportviewer.performback.aspx). I haven't tried it yet, but I have been tempted to add better navigation buttons to some of my reports.
This should also work for WinForms.

Hi
Thanks for that. We are not very familiared with asp.net :) and rather avoid.

I've been thinking about it and I wonder if there is a way to do jump back? I mean if I can jump forward can jump backward? I might try that. I would imagine that there is some link that I could build to make it work?

p.s. I have not replied to your message on another post for a while. I'm sorry I will do that now :)

Regards
Emi

Hi Megan,

I think you provided all possible ways of doing that :) With option one we cannot do that as we are helping somebody to build more user-friendly reports, so in this particular case we will try to do that with parameter but for other web pages we might look into asp.net as it seems to give much more flexiblity although I'm still a bit scared of this technology :)

Actually I'm working on a different project where we (not me) want to use asp.net and we struggle to pass multiple parameters. Have you done something similar before? We posted the question here https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/25990975/Pass-multiple-parameters-to-report-viewer-control-asp-net.html

Many thanks for your great support! It makes our lives so much easier :) ..... and learning is much quicker :p
