Extending ReportingServicesFileShareDeliveryProvider

Hello all,
I need to somehow extend the functionality of the
ReportingServicesFileShareDeliveryProvider so I can ship html formatted
reports along with their chart images to a file share. I've deployed some
reports using the mhtml file format, but alot of our users have problems
viewing reports in this format and our IT dept cannot figure out why...some
computers cannot view the reports unless windows system font is set to small.
Others cannot see the reports at all...and yet other have no problems.
The best thing will be to have the html format and the chart images
exported. The Printer Delivery example does not help 100% because of two
areas:
1) I'm wanting to extend an existing extension if possible...as opposed to
what the Printer Delivery example does...creating an extension from scratch
2) I want to stream the chart images out to the file share as well
Any assistence with this would be awesome. I'll hobble along in the
meantime...
-thanks, brian parkerHi Brian:
I don't see the extensions being too extensible themselves. The
parameters and delivery mechanisms are usually so disparate that it
wouldn't make any sense to inherit from an existing delivery class.
I have another sample that might be useful to you (although I haven't
taken care of delivering images, I plan to try this in the future).
