Reporting Services :: Report Viewer Web Control Print And Search Functionality Without ActiveX Or Silverlight?
Sep 16, 2015
As most are aware by now, the Report Viewer controls for reporting services in 12.0 and prior rely on ActiveX to work. This causes compatibility issues for any non-IE browser, and as of IE11 and now Windows 10 Edge browser it's causing issues for even IE. Research suggests that SSRS 2014 switched out to Silverlight:

However, Silverlight uses NPAPI which is another technology for which all browsers are ending support. As of this writing, Chrome has already ended support. Similarly/Coincidentally Java support is ending as well.
My question is, what are Microsoft's plan to restore functionality such as print/search for browsers where ActiveX/Silverlight cannot be used since this support is no longer strictly a 3rd party browser situation?
I have designed a webpage which has a tabstrip and each tabstrip is linked to a reportviewer. When I click on the very first tab , the print button in reportviewer toolbar is working just fine!!. But when I select another tab and click on Print button.,it gives a javascript error stating "Permission Denied", and the print button stops responding after that. Any clue!!,or this is a bug in report viewer print button.
I am creating a simple report in reporting services. It contains basic fields such as first_name, last_name, ID#, location.
Is there a way to create a search/find function that lets me input a field and it will find the results from any column?
I think I can figure out how to search by 1 single column but want the user to input one thing and search multiple fields.
For further clarification...if they know the last_name, but want the id#, they can search for last name and get all the columns for the particular search....same would work for, if they know the ID#, but want the last_name, they could search for ID# and get all columns in the result.
UPDATE #2: When it said "Do you want to install Microsoft SQL Server" I said "yes" and that caused it to work. I exited and re-ran and now the print runs w/o the "install SQL Server" (If the prompt had said "Do you want to install the print dialog" we wouldn't be having this discussion...)
UPDATE: After posting this i discovered that the same thing occurs when attempting to print the report direct from IE6: First a dialog pops up "Do you want to install this software?" Name: Microsoft SQL Server. When I click "Don't Install" I get the dialog "unable to load client print control." Since this happens direct from IE6 I suspect it's browser settings. I'll resume tomorrow and post a followup.
My WinForm C# app integrates Reporting Services by calling them from WebBrowser controls. The problem is attempts to print cause a dialog: "unable to load client print control."
I've read prior posts that say "enable Active-X in your browser" - I don't know how to do that from a WebBrowser control.
Any ideas how to support Reporting Services "Print" from within a WebBrowser control?

We have recently upgraded our .Net web application from a windows 2003 server to a windows 2012 server. Since this happened users that are trying to print a reporting services report is getting the error "Unable to load client print control". We are using reporting services 2012, but the application is using the 8 version of the viewer. The reporting services server did not change only the application server. The code for the application did not change.
It seems the features are disabled when using any of the above because of compatibility issues with scripting/ActiveX not being properly supported by the FireFox and Chrome.
I believe the control determines the browser you are using is not IE and will not render the controls to prevent unexpected behavior because if the lack of ActiveX support. This can be seen when you compare the HTML of a page using IE8 and that of either IE11, FF, Chrome you'll see that the HTML for a zoom drop down control will show up in the IE8 browser and not in the others.
As for IE11 it presents itself as a Mozilla browser. eg: "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko" so when the control see's this it wont generate any of the controls believing the browser can't support it, even though IE11 should certainly be capable of doing so. I wanted to know if this is correct and if this is a bug?
Browser Support for ReportViewer "The ReportViewer Web server control is used to embed report functionality in an ASP.NET Web application. The type of browser used to view the application determines the kind of functionality that you can provide in a report. Use the table provided in this topic to find out which of the supported browsers are subject to report functionality restrictions."
The page mentions that the following wont be supported by other browsers The following features are not supported in third-party browsers:
Document mapSearching within the reportZoomFixed table headersThe progress indicator for report processing (a green spinning wheel) is not available for server reports, or for locally processed reports that are configured for asynchronous processing.
We are generating excel report using report viewer at run time but if excel report having more then 65000 record generating error Microsoft. Reporting Services.OnDemandReportRendering.ReportRenderingException: Excel Rendering Extension: Number of rows exceed.
i just clicked on Advanced mode in Column Group, and then in Row Group Side i set Fixed Data=true for first top static. I'm using local report not server report and i'm displaying that local report in Reportviewer. Now also its not working....
I'm wondering how to print a SSRS report without bringing up a report viewer. Is there way to print(PDF format) the SSRS report in the web application( .net ) directly from the "print" button without bringing up a report viewer?
I have created a project using MVC 4 application.i have created a dataset model and .rdlc file using report viewer but i'm getting the following error when i run it.
Have an ASP page using AJAX - have embedded the latest Microsoft Report Viewer control. The page access various SSRS reports. The application works fine for most users, but in certain cases, the toolbar wraps and occupies about ten lines - using about half of the visible area. Users affected by the problem are using IE7 and IE8. When the toolbar is distorted like this, the buttons (Page, Export, etc) also seem inop. The problem does not seem to be related to the RDL; either all the reports work or none of the reports work.
I have a reportviewer on a master page in a VS2008 ASP.NET application. When I originally created the page, I did not use a master page. When I moved the code to a master page, the Toolbar is 6 line long instead of 1. Each of the individual components of the ReportViewer toolbar is placed on it's own line. (i.e Navagation, Print, Zoom, Etc.) The same control worked correctly on it's own page.
I have created .RDLC file/report in MVC, but in Report Viewer when i try to display next page, i am unable to see the next page. it is just displaying the first page data and charts only.
microsoft.reportviewer.design for Version 12 (2014) The redistributable package is just that, and does not include this dll So Visual Studio cannot create a V12 object.
The workaround is to use V11 and patch the inserted code.
I was wondering on a question that : exporting a report to xlsx is feature of SSRS server or of Report viewer control itself.I have multiple report servers (eg 2008 R2, 2012 and 2014) . I am using a windows application and reportviewer version 9.0.So when I use report server 2008 R2 its not showing the xlsx export option but working fine with other report servers.Again I changed the control to 11.0 (also 12.0) and checked the same scenario and same results with Reporting server 2008 R2 but working fine with 2012 and 2014. if its worth to change the Report Viewer control or just changing the server is okay to achieve the functionality of exporting to xlsx.
Was wondering if anyone might have some info in regards to this issue. I am using SSRS report viewer client in a asp.net page. I would like to restrict the export types in the export type dropdown list to 'pdf' only. Any info on this will be greatly appreciated!
My problem is specific to the ReportViewer control. The report displays correctly in every other way (ssrs server viewer, visual studio preview, visual studio 'Run', etc)The aspx page hosting the control has two controls, the reportviewer control (assembly 10.0.0.0), and a scriptmanager control asyncrendering = 'true' and processingmode = 'remote'.So the columns are not 'always visible' with the reportviewer but they are with every other renderer that i've tried.
The report i'm testing is just a simple table with a couple groupings (built using the wizard). To enable the fixed headers I went to the groupings view and changed the "FixedData" property of the first Static member to true per instructions.
I have created a .rdlc file in MVC application. I have used Matrix in report and also i have bar charts. Issue is when I view the report in my application--all the months data and all the years data is getting summed up..
ex: it should display like jan feb mar 1 2 3 but it is coming like Mar 6
I have group by as Month for Month columns and Year for Year columns, how to fix this error.
In a new ssrs 2008 report that uses sql server 2012, I am suppose to create a report that prints on both sides of the same paper. The first side of the report will display custom data with a mailing address for the customer.
The second side (back side of the paper) will contain generic information. The second side of the paper will contain areas for the users within my large company to fill out and return to the user via inter-office mail.
Thus my question is can this happen in an SSRS 2008 report to print in a PDF and/or Word document on both sides of the paper? If this is possible would you tell me if the paper needs to be exported to PDF, Word, or if this can on both format(s)? If so, any reference how to accomplish this goal?
If this is not possible in SSRS 2008, is printing on both sides of the paper possible in ssrs 2008 r2 or ssrs 2012?
What version of ssrs report would work, and if the print (export) needs to be a PDF, Word, or either format?
I have a win.forms application part of functionality of which is to show rdlc report. When I try to launch the application it says that ReportViewer assembly is missing, which was expected. When I downloaded and try to install viewer runtime from here: [URL] .....
I receive that Microsoft SQL Server System CLR Types are not installed and must be installed first. I downloaded appropriate installation from [URL] .... and it installed successfully. But when I try to run viewer runtime installation it still says that Microsoft SQL Server System CLR Types are not installed. What do I miss?
Is there any way to get SSRS 2014 report viewer to run in standards mode? We currently host SSRS report viewer in a standards mode IFrame. Seems to work fine for all browsers but IE8. In IE8, the report detail is missing.
I'm guessing that SSRS Viewer on IE 8 requires Quirks mode.
I noticed this article which states that SSRS 2014 Viewer only works in quirks mode.

How do you get the SSRS viewer to run on IE8 in standards mode?

I have an issue as to where only some reports are visible within Report Viewer url. But if I navigate to the path of the rdl's there are many more present that should be visible through Report Viewer. The client was recently upgraded, and I seem to have all out of box roles and permission levels yet can only see some of those reports, as if some were manually copied to this folder location at a later point and perhaps some user job needs to be run to reflect import those additional rdl's?

Is there an ActiveX control for the Report Designer available so I can just drop it into my program so the user can edit or add reports without buying the Business Intelligence Studio or Visual Studio 2005? I understand I'll have to pay royalties on this but depending on the cost I am open to it.
I am having a problem with Print button not showing up. I tried everything but I can get it to show itself on the toolbar. I am using reporting viewer on local report on the web page. I published my local report on the server but still not showing. If anybody knows how to fix this problem please help.
I am also tring to insert a report parameter in the header section of the report but when I get to parameters section it tells me that "This report does not contain any parameteres".
I have converted the VS 2013 WinForm project to VS 2015. Once I installed it on client, report viewer is asking for Microsoft.ReportViewer.WinForms 12.0.0.0.With VS 2013 projects Report Viewer 2012 Runtime worked fine. I haven't been able to locate anywhere newer version of Report Viewer Runtime/
