Custom Annotations on SRS 2000 charts

I would like to be able to put custom annotations on charts. Specifically I have a line chart I want to annotate. I don't want to indicate all plot points, just areas of interest. For example, on one of our line charts there is a value for a week (weeks are the x-Axis) that is way out of whack with other weeks. I would like to be able to display only that value, circle that location on the chart and create a custom note so that when the report displays, all users can see it.

All I've been able to find that I can customize on SRS line charts is to add all plot points and be able to change their shape and color and font size. I want to be able to do way more than that with annotations. Is it possible? I have .NET programming abilities so I'd be willing to write code to do it, I just can't find any examples of how I can write custom code to do things like this.

Thanks for any help!

You may need to look at a 3rd-party charting tool such as Dundas Charts for Reporting Services. Unfortunately these are only available with RS 2005.

cheers,

|||We purchased Chart FX for Reporting Services and it works like a charm, but this is for RS2005 http://www.softwarefx.com/SfxSqlProducts/cfxReportingServices/ . But I think there is not a version for RS2000 anywhere in the market... Sorry I cannot help much on this one.
