Reporting Services :: SSRS Print Layout Support RTL Rendering
Apr 28, 2015
Is there a support of printing report with matrix that is set to RTL (LayoutDirection) which displays in ReportViewr control with property RightToLeft set to RightToLeft.Yes in DisplayMode = PrintLayout.
The report looks fine in the report viewr in DisplayMode = Normal, but when goes to PrintLayout, it seems that the left data on page is rendered first.
Example: This is the display of the report viewer, I would like to print the columns by the same order it displays here:
And this is the result when clicking Print Preview: the first page displays the data of the last columns and if i go to the last page (page 9) i will see the data of the first column as displays in the previous gif, I don't have a clue why?
Is there a property that can be set to force the print layout to render RTL. Anyway, it seem to me as a bug since the Report Viewer displays the data correctly and renders the data RTL as expected.
I'm currently using Sql server 2005 Reporting Services. I'm trying to take data and fill in a form that I'm making a background image. When I go to preview all the textboxes filled with data align with the fields in the background image form. When I go to print they are off by a inch or so horizontally. Can anyone help me on this topic.
We have a winforms application with local rdlc reports. On Surface Windows 8 Pro devices only, reports render such that they are scaled down and don't fill the page. If resolution is lowered on the device, the report scales up to fill the page.
This affects the appearance in print layout and well as the actual printed size.
If we export to pdf, it renders to fill the page (as expected). If you print to pdf or to printer, the scale is shrunken.
If we change the resolution settings so that "Make text and other items larger or smaller" is set to small, the issue is resolved except the tablet is not very usable on this setting.Is this a bug?
I have written a custom rendering extension for my reporting services. In one of my function inside custom rendering assembly, I want to access the underlying dataset and manipulate with it. I gain some knowledge on dataextension but not able to use it successfully. Can someone please help me get to underlying dataset?
I have a image in SSRS which is of PNG in format. when I preview the image it is coming as expected but if I export that to PDF the image is having the black color back ground. One more point to be noted here is my actual image file is having a small shading in it which is not visible properly, but the same back ground is coming with full black color line in the PDF form.
Another issue is : I have 3 sub reports in my SSRS report. In the preview I can see the data is coming in order of sub reports but if I export it to PDF the second sub-report data is coming at the end of the report and first and 3rd sub reports are fine. But If I have only one record for 2nd sub-report the order is same in both the Preview page as well as in the PDF format.
I installed SSRS 2014 Reporting Services on a 2008R2 Enterprise server. When I try to subscribe to a report (also SQL 2014), the default rendering is MHTML. I want to change this default to EXCEL.
I updated the rsreportserver.config file and restarted SQL Server Reporting Service. Now, the default rendering for a subscription is 'XML file with report data' which is the first <Render> data element. If I change
<DefaultRenderingExtension>EXCEL</DefaultRenderingExtension> back to <DefaultRenderingExtension>MHTML</DefaultRenderingExtension>
And restart SSRS Service, the default subscription rendering is MHTML.

1. We have been using Sql Server 2008 R2 and its reporting services engine.
In the application we used Report Viewer (version 9).
When the report is taken for the first time, couple of messages pops up.
a. Unable to Load print control b. Install Sql Server Reporting Services 2008 R2.
These messages are fine, but we noticed that the second message is not consistent. When the application is deployed in staging server which is as same as the production server except for the power (CPU, RAM), the second message is "Install Sql Server 2008". Why is this happening?
2. To support IE 11, we upgraded the Report viewer to version 11. Now the messages are different.
a. Printing is not available. Verify that ActiveX is enabled or try using IE from the desktop b. Install Sql Server Reporting Services 2008 R2. (Here again when deployed in staging server it says "Install Sql Server 2008").
I'm trying to add a custom report format to ssrs 2005 as per this [URL] I've added the code snippets in the example to three different ssrs 2005 server RSReportServer.config files but it does not work i.e do not show up in the export drop down when rendering report.
I've tried starting and stopping reporting services and it still does not works.
I've also modified the existing csv extension with different options to see if it works but to no avail.However it works with SSRS2008 R2 . In fact it works right after I saved the config file, no restart needed.For SSRS2005 the file is in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.3Reporting ServicesReportServer. I checked the registry setting just to make sure I'm looking at the correct installation 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE', 'SOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsClientSetup', 'SQLPath' The three ssrs2005 instances are in three different physical servers and the problem is with all of them so it is not an isolated incident. I've dbowner rights to all three servers. The server versions are 9.0.4060, 9.0.4035 and 9.0.4053
I have scoured the Microsoft forums and the internet to find out how I can generate the output of a CSV report that has double quotes around each value and is comma separated as follows:
"Abcd","123456","Efghi","789012","JKLMN"
If I try to concatenate double quotes around the values in the stored procedure or in the RDL, two double quotes appear around each value as follows.
I understand that this is because the default qualifier is double quote. What I see is that every time a double quote appears in a value (along with commas and line breaks), the qualifier will activate. Is there any way to turn this off for double quotes?
If I try to enter: <Qualifier>false</Qualifier>, the word "false" appears as the qualifier instead.
The only way I have found that produces a result similar to what I need ("Abcd","123456","Efghi","789012","JKLMN") is if I add a line break - chr(10) in the RDL in each field. However, this won't work for me because I can't have line breaks in each field in the output.
Note that in SSRS 2005, I was able to produce the report output as I state above by setting the field delimiter and qualifier as follows:
This essentially turned the field delimiter and qualifier off, as the values entered would never appear in the data. I then could add double quotes and commas in the RDL. This used to work in the old version but does not anymore.
Paper is 21cm x 9cmPrinter is Epson LX-300..When I set this paper size, SSRS turns orientation to landscape and prints as if clockwise right rotated!I tried creating custom paper on print server options without success. I also tried setting the same paper size in Report Builder and Print Server but failed again.
I'm using SQL Server 2008 SP3 with Reporting Services 2008 SP3.
By opening my web application in IE9 and running report, i can print and show then print preview by clicking the "Print preview" button in printing dialog.
By opening my web application in IE11 and running report, i can print the report but if I click on the print preview on the print dialog nothing appears... Why?
I have a chart with series that needs conditional colour for three conditions. One condition must be transparent. I have tried the various IFF or SWITCH expressions below and some work fine in SSDT but when I deploy them to the browser the formatting is lost. This simple IFF expression works. The series is transparent as required both in SSDT (Visual Studio BIDS) and IE11 and Firefox browsers but I need two other conditions.
Both of the expressions below work in SSDT (Visual Studio BIDS) as expected but when deployed to the browser none of this formatting is rendered and all series are in blues even the ‘transparent’ series. No red at all.
I have tried deleting various files RDL and DATA. I have tried uploading the file from report manager in IE and I have tried editing the file in report manager.
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 created web based ssrs report with Report viewer and I am trying to add Command button to print result of report reside in ReportViewer and I have worked with code to generate. Is there any other way to work around without writing function or java script on Extra print button to print ssrs report.

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:

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 designed a report in reporting services 2005. When i look at the view layout for the report everything is aligned correctly but if i go to print preview one matrix is shifted up or down. I have tried to put the matrix inside a rectangle but the issue is still present. Does anyone know why this is happening or any suggestions on what to do to fix it.
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?
I'm using Reporting Services 2005 SP1 and wrote some code to render reports server-side. My sample report has few parameters that must be passed so I pass these parameters with code.
byte[] report = rs.Render("PDF", "<DeviceInfo><Toolbar>False</Toolbar></DeviceInfo>", out extension, out mimeType, out encoding, out warnings, out streamID); </My code>
Actually, I have several more parameters but I've checked the collection and all the parameters I want are there and have values. Their names match those found in executionInfo.Parameters. But when I run my code I get the following error on Render():
<Error> "This report requires a default or user-defined value for the report parameter 'pClass'. To run or subscribe to this report, you must provide a parameter value. ---> This report requires a default or user-defined value for the report parameter 'pClass'. To run or subscribe to this report, you must provide a parameter value. ---> This report requires a default or user-defined value for the report parameter 'pClass'. To run or subscribe to this report, you must provide a parameter value." </Error>
I've double-checked and my parameter array does have the problematic parameter, I passed it a value but when I check executionInfo.Parameters I see that it's the only parameter that hasn't been give a default value after calling SetExecutionParameters(). So my parameters do seem to be passed but one seems to refuse getting a value. If I comment out the SetExecutionParameters() line I get, as expected a similar error but on another parameter (first one in the executionInfo.Parameters collection). So I'm left to beleive that the SetExecutionParameters() has some kind of bug as it works for all but one parameter. I've checked casing, spelling, tried passing phony parameters and from what I've seen I should be getting an error when I pass the parameters if I got something wrong.
We use Reporting Services for most of our reporting needs internally. However, we do have several products that we ship out into the field that run off local databases. These applications require reporting but often are not big enough for SQL Server and rarely run on a server with IIS.
Since MS has made .RDL an open xml standard does anyone know if there are any client rendering engines being developed? We would like the ability to develop all of our reports in .RDL and have them rendered in Reporting Services or in our standalone apps that run off MSDE or Access. Currently this is not possible. But, I think that someone could write a client renderer (like Crystal Reports has) to allow the use of .RDL files off a local data source without SQL Server and Web Services.
I have created reports using Reporting Services and the problem I am having is with the Print Layout. I view a report with parameters and print. I then change the parameters and click 'View Report' again and the new report is displayed. However, the report does not refresh in the Print Layout, so if I try to print the 2nd report, the first report is the one that is printed. Any ideas how to solve this?
I am building reports using MS Visual Studio, and in the Preview tab I have the Refresh button and a button with a X to stop a report while rendering. However, when I deploy the report to the reporting server and I run it from the application the X button is not there, and users would find it useful sometimes to be able to stop long running reports. Is this a configuration change?
Our system is set up using SQL Server 2000 and Reporting Services for SQL Server 2000. Our web application is built with Visual Studio 2003, C# and .Net Framework 1.1 and is a 3-tier application. On both our localhost and development builds of the application, the images that get rendered do show up properly. On our live build, the images do not.
One difference that we found is that on the live build, users do not have file permission access to our middle tier that is running reporting services. After examining the URL of where the image is trying to point to, we see that it is trying to access the middle tier from the front presentation tier.
My question is, is there a way to send a certain parameter into the Render method to have the images stored somewhere else? Any help would be greatly appreaciated. Here is the code we currently have:
ReportingService rs = new ReportingService(); rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
reportParameters[0] = new ParameterValue(); reportParameters[0].Name = "par_userID"; reportParameters[0].Value = userID;
reportParameters[1] = new ParameterValue(); reportParameters[1].Name = "par_menuID"; reportParameters[1].Value = menuID;
reportParameters[2] = new ParameterValue(); reportParameters[2].Name = "par_URL"; reportParameters[2].Value = reportURL;
reportParameters[3] = new ParameterValue(); reportParameters[3].Name = "par_startPage"; reportParameters[3].Value = startPage;
reportParameters[4] = new ParameterValue(); reportParameters[4].Name = "par_endPage"; reportParameters[4].Value = endPage;
//Clean up old files RemoveFiles(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["tempFileLocation"]);
result = rs.Render(reportPath, format, historyID, devInfo, reportParameters, credentials, showHideToggle, out encoding, out mimeType, out reportHistoryParameters, out warnings, out streamIDs);
// // For each image stream returned by the call to render, // // render the stream and save it to the application root // byte[] image; // string optionalString = null; // string tempFilePath = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["tempFileLocation"].ToString(); // // foreach (string streamID in streamIDs) // { // image = rs.RenderStream(reportPath, // "HTML4.0", // streamID, // null, // null, // reportHistoryParameters, // out optionalString, // out optionalString); // // FileStream stream = File.OpenWrite(tempFilePath + streamID + ".png"); // stream.Write(image, 0, image.Length); // stream.Close(); // }
// Write the results to the current Web page string htmlout = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(result); htmlout = htmlout.Replace("<hr/>", "");
I'm using ReportingServices 2008 and I've this message "The operation has timed out" when rendering a report with some parameters. I've set in the execution properties of this report : Do not apply the expiration time for the execution of the report.When I look the ExecutionLogStorage table from Report Server DataBase I see that I've no message for this report when timeRendering is 21109ms. When I change the report parameters to obtain more data, the timeRendering is 76866ms and I've the message "The operation has timed out".
I rendered this xml from SSRS 2008. Is there a way to avoid the "details_Collection" tab in the rendered xml doc. Please see the colored tabs. These tabs are created from groups named Company and Info.
I am trying to export ssrs report from sharepoint to pdf file.But i am getting error in it."Sorry, Something Went Wrong".But when i try to render report in visual studio when i preview report. It gets exported in 14 minutes. but there is no error.
We run std 2008. In my ssrs log I see this for one of our most critical reports...
library!ReportServer_0-64!2244!07/07/2015-08:24:53:: Call to GetPermissionsAction(/somedirectory/somedirectory1).... which I assume is an indication of a report starting to render by first checking permissions.
Around the time my user says he still saw the revolving arrow and he stopped the report because he felt it was running too long, I see...
webserver!ReportServer_0-64!1dbc!07/07/2015-08:54:44:: i INFO: Processed report. Report='/somedirectory/somedirectory1/importantreport', Stream=''
How can it be true that he stopped it and ssrs reports that it processed the report?
About 4 minutes later I see this entry in the log...
webserver!ReportServer_0-64!15e4!07/07/2015-08:58:34:: i INFO: Processed report. Report='/somedirectory/somedirectory1/importantreport', Stream=''
Which processed report message is right? Could there be multiples cuz of subreports? I see a number of errors and exceptions around these same times but do not know how to tie either to a specific report. Is there a way?
We are facing an issue where the report rendering for specific report parameters is failing with an exception
