Check for the presence of a tag in the section of the RDL file. When the “Excel designed by OfficeWriter” or “Word designed by OfficeWriter” custom extension is called on the Report Server, this tag is located and the report is hydrated with data. If the custom tag contains a base64-encoded template, you can assume it’s a SoftArtisans RDL. • Can I create a single RDL file that includes both an Excel and Word template? With OfficeWriter V3.5 and SQL Server Reporting Services 2005, you can now embed both an Excel and Word template into a single RDL file. Simply use the OfficeWriter Designer within Excel and Word to design and publish the different versions of the report to the same RDL file.
