Adding watermark or background image to vs 2013 report

Question

How would you go about adding a watermark or background image to a VS2013 rdlc. I was able to add an image to my report data. I then dragged it to my report, and then the repor tablix was placed over the image. This didn't work because the image was obscured by the report tablix. I then put the image over the report tablix, then the table was obscured. I was not able to "Set it as background." What would be the steps necessary to make a watermark or background image?

Answer 1

You were on the right track with setting the image as background.

1. Set the image as the background image for the report body.
2. Set the tablix BackgroundColor to No Color (transparent)
