Mar 22, 2007When I go to preview mode and select the print preview. The white background is black and the black is white. Any one know how to set this back to the original way it worked?

Why Is My Print Preview Screen Black?
Apr 25, 2007So in order for print preview to work, one has to change the background of all items on the page to white?
Is that a bug that is going to be fixed soon (along with running out of memory when you print a big report)?
Installed SP2, Now Preview Is Rendered In Black? Here's The Temp Hotfix!
Nov 5, 2007Hello everyone, I'm not sure if this has been addressed or not, but there were a few threads on here (after much searching) on this subject where after installing SP2, when you go to preview your reports, the background (which is set to transparent by default) renders black.
Basically your preview for reports comes up entirely black. There was a workaround where you had to change the background color to white, which did work, but the magin areas still blacked out.
I did some more searching online and came across a KB article and requested the hotfix. It's not 100% proof yet, so you have to request it via customer service.
So far it's working for me and no issues yet. I create all my reports via VS2005 and previewing is a vital need of mine. Now the black renderings are gone and everything else is back to normal, at least for now...

Again, it's not 100% proof, so use at your own discretion. Just wanting to share!

Print Layout Shows Up Black
May 12, 2008
I can view my reports fine when I go to the preview window, however, when I choose the option to see the 'Print Layout', everything comes up black. The only thing I can see iss my header image.
Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Black Server Reports After Installing SP2
Feb 23, 2007After installing SQL Server 2005 SP2 all of our server reports are being rendered with a black background and white text, which needless to say is reversed of how they were being drawn before installing SP2. This only happens when the report viewer is displaying the report in €śPrint Layout€? mode. Normal mode shows the report as expected.
Has anyone else had this problem or suggest a solution? Thanks in advance.

Reportviewer In Vb.net App Rendering Black Squares In Textbox On Client Machine
Apr 8, 2008
I have a simple text box in a table in the body of a report. This renders fine via IE on both my dev box and the client.
However when rendered within a Reportviewer control on the client, the box show the text followed by lots of black squares. Running the app on my dev box is also fine - no black boxes at all.
The report resides on the server, and the server is fully patched.
Any ideas greatly appreciated!
White Spaces

Thanks in advance.
SQL White Space! HELP!
Oct 4, 2006Ok, here is the problem.
Client created a database with Allocated Space of 5GB. THEY WILL ONLY EVER HOLD A MAXIMUM OF 1GB IN DATA!!! Don't ask.
In any case, they currently have a database filled with 600MB of Data and 4.4GB of White Space. From what I can see, the database is backing up that entire database nightly, based on 5GB of allocated space. It doesnt care that only 600MB is being used, it only knows that someone put aside 5GB and its gonna darn well back it up.
I need to get rid of that space. Their Backups are taking hours on end and Batch Files are timing out. Quite honestly, they dont need to back up 4.5GB of white space.
QUESTION:
How can I eliminate that white space? I have tried to run several SQL scripts to Truncate the DB and eliminate unused space, unfortunately it is not working.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Matt.
White Space In A Field
Oct 1, 2006I think this may be a dumb question, but here goes.If there is a lot of "white space" in a field in SQL Server, does it take upserver space, or is it just ignored?Example:Name of product<br>Manufacturer's Name<br>Manufacture's Phone number<br>Instead of this:Name of product<br>Manufacturer's Name<br>Manufacture's Phonenumber<br>I think it would, but maybe not?Thanks, J~
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe Have A New White Paper On Connectivity!
Jan 10, 2007Dear Forum Members,
We've been working on a white paper targeting SSIS connectivity which we hope will help answer some of the key questions in the following areas :
What are the SSIS components and their support level for ADO.NET, ODBC, and OleDB?
How to deal with 64-bit connectors? what is supported, what is not?
Special sections on popular data sources such as SAP, Oracle, DB2, Flat File, XML.
A comprehensive list of data sources and available connectors from Microsoft and other 3rd parties.
You'll also find answers to why some of the things are the way they are today.
Note that this white paper is currently under official editing and publishing in Microsoft. It'll be a while before it goes public officially, but I wanted to share it with you, as the rich content it offers can't really wait. You'll find the paper in my blog, which is really a wiki site about SSIS connectivity fully open to public, so feel free to add/update content in there as you feel proper, and help the SSIS community with your wisdom!
A lot of feedback went into this white paper not only from Microsoft, but also from some of our partners and MVPs. I'd like to extend special thanks to Bob Beauschemin for authoring this challenging white paper.
Enjoy!

White Spaces In Data Fields
Jan 31, 2006Hi,
Whenever I insert a record into my table it adds trailing white spaces up to the amount of char's that the field is set to allow. Obviously I don't want it to do this.
Among other problems then when I get the data back out it has a ton of white spaces, which normally wouldn't be a problem. i could just use the .Trim() function, but for some reason when I bind the data to a drop down list and use the .Trim() function it doesn't trim the white spaces.
Anyways any ideas on how to make it so the white spaces don't get put in in the first place?? Or any other thoughts on this?? Thanks!
Function Like Len() That Counts White Space
Aug 10, 2007Good day to you, community friend!
Just a quick one - I swear I've seen a function before that was like Len() but it counted the white spaces too. I have a feeling it was something along the lines of "data_length" but I can't for the life of me find it!
Many thanks,
George

Unacceptible White Space On Report
Aug 2, 2007
I am hoping there is either a quick fix within SQL reporting services or a 3rd party tool for SQL reporting services that will fix my error. If not, we will be forced to go back to Crystal Reports.
I have a large report, that per each record prints between 3 and 5 pages of information. It is laid out like an MS Word document (as that is what is needed to send off to the client), so it is in standard letter style with the text growing down vertically.
I have about 10 large text (SQL Server Text field types) fields on this report. The report itself was built using the SQL Reporting Services table tool, so I could correclty group the information into the same record and also to keep the needed specific report formatting.
Everything looks GREAT, except for large white space in the report. The cause is that each row on the SQL Reporting Services table contains a field of data. Well, in some instances there is too much text to fit on the current page of the report (in some cases as much as 3/4 a page of paper), so instead of starting to print on the page and then continuing to print on to the next page, the data will skip the page and start at the top of the next page.
This will leave large white spaces in my report. In one instance I have a Text field that with the correct formatting is larger than a page. So the report prints on 1/4 of page 2, is blank for remander 3/4 of a page 2, and then starts printing the large text field on the following page (page 3). So 3/4 of a page in my report is left empty.
Is there a work around for this, or a 3rd party tool that can be purchased to allow for this? I have not found a setting or a way to keep the table rows together as there is in Crystal Reports.
Thank you for your help!

Trim Trailing White Spaces
Nov 14, 2006Hi All,
I have a column which has some white spaces that I suspect is tab delimeted one. So when I use a rtrim(col1) it would not trim those. So i used a scrip component and wrote this line,
Row.trimDetail = RTrim(Row.detail)
here trimdetail is an o/p column and detail is the input col with the trailing spaces.
but still I don know why the column has that spaces. Can someone help me to figure out what is the problem ?
Thanks in advance,

Preserve Leading And Trailing White Spaces On Report
Dec 27, 2007I spent huge amount of time figuring out how to preserve lading and trailing white spaces on report display without success. Can anyone help me here?
My problem is I have data with leading and or trailing white spaces and I need to show it as is. In designer preview it shows correct values. As soon as report is published and accessed on web, it truncates the whitespaces . I had a look at source, it shows values are correctly fetched(with spaces) but are ignored while rendering. I also tried replacing blank space with , however it reads this as &nbsp;.
I am using asp.net 2.0 and SQL serer 2005 reporting services.
Both Foreground And Background Color Appear To Be White In Expression Builder...
Dec 3, 2007
I have a co-worker who applied build 3161 to SQL Server 2005. The original problem was that the print preview was showing up as black.This is a documented issue with Microsoft here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935436
Now, when she goes into expression builder, the foreground AND background color for what you type in there appears to be white... so everything shows up as invisible. You can highlight the text you type and it shows up but otherwise it is obviously invisible.
Anyone know how to fix this?
Best Practices White Paper On Pre-Installation Server Setup
Oct 17, 2007Evening,
I am very well versed in the proper way to set up a SQL Server server prior to installation.
In this I mean, the proper process in placing your MDF, LDF and NDF(s) on seperate spindles/discs and also to place TempDB on its own spindle/disc and such.
There are numerous other points to cover in setting up the server based on memory, security, processor and such but I am sure you understand.
What I am looking for is the link(s) to the whitepapers discussing these Best Practices methodologies for pre-installation setup.
I looked on the Best Practices page but did not seem to find a doc that contains all the Best Practices that should be followed, if possible of course, in setting up a server prior to the SQL Server 2005 installation process.
Can anyone please point me to a link(s)/doc(s) that describe what I am looking for.
I need to pass this information down to other members of my team.
Thanks and have a great day!
SQL Server - Green Circle With White Arrow Question
Dec 7, 2007I know that this may be a stupid question but I have yet to find the exact answer. Within the SSMS the servers are displayed in the registered servers. I register the server and then connect successfully. What I don't understand is although the server is running or the sql server agent is running the green dot with the white arrow is completely white. I can click on the server and look at the databases so I know that the server is running. This happens on remote servers and servers here at our location. Does anyone know why the white dot is not green with a white arrow? I'm just curious to know why this is like that. Thanks for any help you can provide.

SQL Server 2008 :: White Spaces Not Getting Ignored For Plan Guide Matching?
May 1, 2015In sp_create_plan_guide documentation, it's written:
When SQL Server matches the value of statement_text to batch_text and @parameter_name data_type [,...n ], or if @type = 'OBJECT', to the text of the corresponding query inside object_name, the following string elements are not considered:
White space characters (tabs, spaces, carriage returns, or line feeds) inside the string.
Comments (-- or /* */).
Trailing semicolons
On SQL Server 2008 SP3, I created a plan guide for a query. Now, if I execute the query exactly how it was defined in the plan guide, SQL Server match it and use the plan guide to optimize the query.
However, if I add just a space between a column name and an operator in the WHERE clause, the plan guide is ignored. How come it doesn't ignore the extra space, like mentioned in the documentation?
Hiding Columns -White Space At End Of The Table*****Extremely Urgent
Mar 27, 2008Hello everyone,
In reports ,My customer requirement is to display column based on selected criteria in UI .
The columns which are not selected by him will hide.
for that we kept an expression in Visibility --> Hide
Code Snippet
= NOT Parameters!Parameters.Value.ToString().Contains("Name")
then coming to HTML Report
It is working fine,but white space coming at end of the Table.
can't we supress the white space?
The white space width is exactly the width of the column which is hidden.
My designing in layout is wrong?
Else is that Problem with the SSRS?
Experts Please let me Know!!!!
Give me Solution!!!
Customer is strictly focusing on that requirement.
***Note: white Space is Some what Acceptable.But My Reports are very big like 45 columns around.When he selects 10 out of 45 then you can assume how much space is coming????????****

Giant White Space Shows Up When Viewing In Report Manager Only
May 16, 2006Hello
I have created a report that works how I want it in the visual studio 2003 designer. I have deployed it to our test box (sql server 2k, reporting services with sp2) and when we preview the report, there is a giant white space between the graph in the report and the matrix object below it. This white space was not in the designer. It only shows when previewing the report. If you print from the report manager, it does not print the white space.
Is there a way to remove it from the report manager when the report is previewed? I am sure users will complain when they see this.
Thanks.

Reporting Services :: Getting White Space When Report Is Exported To Word
Sep 28, 2015I build a tablix A in SSRS, which contains a tablix B and a textbox C. When the report is exported to word,  I found that there is white space between the tablix B and textbox C if the row of tablix B is spilled over to next page.
If I export the report to PDF, the white space issue is gone.
