RS Services Graphical Extensions? (Dashboard Gauges)

hello all,
I am trying to use RS in order to develop a dashboard like application that
would start at KPI (Key Performance indicators) level and drill through to
more detailed levels of table/matrix reports. all the drill through and
drill down with parameter passing is all done. I can not seem to find any
third party application or custom code that would extend the built-in
graphical library ( pie, horizontal bar, scattered, etc charts) to have
Guages and instrumentation like graphs. Is there anything like that
available on the market?
Thank You
Tony A.
aaltobelli007{at}yahoo.comHi....
Dundas (http://www.dundas.com/) has some graph tools that have gauges.

and then use a web service retrieve the data from your RS reports into your
Xcelsius dashboards. That is the solution I am using and I'm very happy
with the results. I leverage the cached, hourly reports in RS as a source to
my interactive dashboards in Xcelsius. I don't need to add any .NET coding
to get this done and I get to use existing RS reports as my data source.
It's a very nice solution to a low-maintenance, data-intense dashboard.

RS Backup

Hi,
I have SQL Reporting Services SP1 standard edition and I am trying to
develop a disaster recovery process.
The challange that I have is I don't know how to restore a new server using
exsting backup. The Reporting Services installation program always try to
create a new database. How can I make it work with existing restored
database?
Thanks,
AlanHi Alan,
From your descriptions, I understood that you would like to backup existing
database and restore it in another new machine. Have I understood you?
Correct me if I was wrong.
Based on my knowledge, there is a Knowledge Base article describes how to
move a Reporting Services database from a computer that is running
Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services to another computer.
