[FONT=inherit]Is there any way to use a WPF UserControl as a CustomReportItem for SSRS? In the draw method I’d like to create an instance of the WPF control and render it as a visual brush. The only problem is that WPF control can only be instanced in an STA environment. Creating a new [callaway x24 irons](http://www.golfbestprice.org/callaway-x24-hot-irons-p-82.html) in the STA environment in order to create the control works in VisualStudio, but deployed to the SQL Server, almost every time the thread starts in MTA mode - even though it was set to STA before it started.[/FONT]  
[FONT=inherit]I know that starting an STA thread in an SQL Server context shouldn’t be possible anyway - but is there really no solution for this problem?
