How to position a text inclined in Reportviewer?

Question

There is a way to tilt a word (textbox, or other possible way), in Reportviewer, to stay at 45º (degrees), for example?

Answer 1

There is a somewhat crude form. You can use the graphical framework libraries to insert the text in the report as image.

You start by getting a class object Graphics. There are several ways... From the method Control.CreateGraphic, from image, or as property you receive in a method that treats the event Control.Paint.

Let’s Suport a graphical object g, a source f and a Brush b. The source and the Brush are parameters that we will use, you can see more details in the above documentation. With these objects, we do something like this:

g.RotateTransform(45);
/* Isso gira sua "tela de pintura" no objeto de gráfico.
 * A partir de agora, tudo que for inserido no gráfico
 * estará inclinado em 45°.
 */
g.DrawString("foo",f, b, 10, 10);

A warning: the chart coordinate system itself will be tilted. If something exits off the screen, position the graph.

Good luck!
