Hi all,

Anyone can help me this?

I am doing RDLC report localization into different locale and I have prenty of Textbox controls in my report.

I can now display the value of my RDLC local report to the specific locale, but my problem is my textbox will autosize vertically when the text exceed to textbox size which cause to overlap from another controls.

What is the best thing to do to make textbox autosize grow horizontally?or textbox autosize according to the text content.

I modified the rdlc xml file to localize the reports using resources from database.

Answers are greatly appreciated.

AFAIK there isn't a inbuilt functionality in SSRS to make text box grow horizontally.

But If you want to make your textbox expansion vertically then there's a propery of textbox called CanGrow, by setting it true it will make your textbox grow vertically according to content.
