The CustomReportItem can be used to embed arbitrary WPF elements in a report. The visual tree of the item is specified through a DataTemplate assigned to its Template property. The data content of the item is specified through its Value property. During rendering the CustomReportItem internally creates a WPF ContentControl and assigns Value and Template to its Content and ContentTemplate properties respectively.

CustomReportItem which displays a WPF TextBlock with a Border around it. The width of the border is proportional to an IntField property of the associated DataContext.

<r:CustomReportItem Size="100%,20">   <r:CustomReportItem.Template>     <DataTemplate>       <Border Name="border"         Width="{r:Expression '[CDbl(IntField*10)]'}"         Background="Red"         BorderBrush="Black"         BorderThickness="1"         VerticalAlignment="Center"         HorizontalAlignment="Left"         Height="15">         <TextBlock Text="{r:Expression '[CStr(IntField)]'}" />       </Border>     </DataTemplate>   </r:CustomReportItem.Template> </r:CustomReportItem>

In the above example the item is considered part of a report named report and the namespace r is defined as follows:
