rptReportViewer.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.FromKnownColor(selectedKnownColor);

Is there any other way i can define my background color for the reports[.rpt]

Thank you.

You can also pass the desired color to the report as a parameter. Then use the parameter to set the report's background

If you are using Crystal Reports, which it appears that you are see this, "Modifying the Background Color of the Report."

For Microsoft Reporting Services: This will set your ReportViewer back color to the selectedKnowColor, not the report itself. Your report probably covers most of the ReportViewer. If you have any of the ReportViewer visible then you should see it's back color change.

For either case make sure your selectedKnowColor isn't white.
