Custom Renderer doesn't show in VS report builder

I'm developing a custom report renderer following the instructions
from:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/05/02/CustomRenderers/
So far I can see it and run it as an export option when I run the
report from ReportManager. However it does not show as an option from
the vs.net report builder preview. Any suggestions as to how to make
this work?
Also I can't seem to debug into my renderer, any help with how to step
into this thing would be appreciated.
thanks-JimYou need to add it as a renderer in two different config files, one for
the Report Server, the other for the Report Designer.
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Report
Designer\RSReportDesigner.config
I think is the file you still need to update|||Thanks Greg, that worked. For future reference with vs 2005 and sql
2005 the path was C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\RSReportDesigner.config. Of course I
had to put my custom dll there also.
