Embedded VB.NET Code Limitations?

What are the limitations to using the Embedded VB.NET Code within a RDL?
Is it possible to control the IE Browser features via the Embedded Code?
JeffThere are no syntax limitations in VB code used in report expressions and
Code element. You can also call custom assemblies that must only be managed
but could be writting in VB, C# or even managed C++, etc...
If I correctly understand your question you want to write a code hosted
inside a report that will run on client and control browser via ActiveX
interface. This is not possible because all code inside report is always
executed on server and never passed back to the client for execution.
RS also does not support embedding scripts into HTML output. If it was
allowed it would be a security hole...
You can write your own application that will host IE Browser control and
will talk to report server to retrieve reports.
