Does anyone know a way of providing an Export to HTML for ReportViewer WebForms?
I know by default, Image, PDF and Excel are supported formats. I'm guessing there must be some sort of workaround to get the HTML of the report out?
Take a look at this link.
You use the Render method and specify the format for export.
If you are using the 2010 ReportViewer control then it appears HTML4.0 it has been removed from this version (It did work fine in the 2008 version) if you are executing in local mode.
See http://www.gotreportviewer.com/
Question: What are the limitations of ReportViewer control?
A: Unlike the Report Server the
ReportViewer control does not connect
to databases or execute queries. Also,
in local mode the only export
formats available are Excel, Word and
PDF. (In remote mode all formats
supported by the Report Server are
available.) The ReportViewer control
cannot be extended by adding custom
renderers or custom report items.
Besides additional export formats, the
Report Server offers better
scalability, central storage,
management and access control of
reports, caching, subscriptions, etc.

We have several Crystal Reports that are used in a Windows Form application that we are re-creating using RDLC. One of the reports needs the ability to drill through (or down) to more detailed data. I've followed several examples (mostly for SSRS) to enable the drill through functionality in the RDLC report but I can never get it to work. Its like the drill through logic is being ignored. I never get the "hand" to appear. I've even tried using "Go to URL" for the action and that doesn't work.
Is this functionality only available for SSRS or web applications?
I am embedding a pivot4j report using pivot4j component in pentaho.
Is it possible to have a export to excel OR PDF facility like it has while designing the report?
If so, how can I do that?
Got the solution from the developers. Posting as it is from the URL https://groups.google.com/d/msg/pivot4j-list/WQ91bXbOdbs/K_eW6VZqAwAJ
It's something doable but it will require a bit of custom modification
of the view template. When you embed a Pivot4J report, embed.xhtml is
used as the view template instead of view.xhtml. If you compare them
with each other, you can that the former is just a minimal version of
the latter.
So you can probably copy the necessary components related to the
export feature (look for 'mi-export-*') and paste into the embeded
template and modify it if necessary.
My team is looking for a manner to embed SSRS Report Viewer into a currently working VB6 program as the replacement of Crystal Report. Is it possible? if so, and how?
Many thanks!
Not sure about that, but you can certainly use a different approach such as:
Build a .NET WinForms program (exe) that uses the SSRS Report Viewer control and just call it with a VB6 Shell() + the parameter(s) of the report to run.
Not that I know of however another option would be to use a canned web browser control on a VB6 form and call the report using its URL
I have set up a reporting tool using sql server 2008 R2 with a single report containing 4 datasets on a single page. Each dataset is basically a table and a chart. I would like to have it set up in such a way as to have two datasets on one page of the report and the others on the next page.
Is there anyway to format the layout of a single report or would I have to design a second report and call that from the first somehow and if so how do I do that?
These reports will be later binded to a web application using the reportviewer but not sure if this is possible with visual studio 2010.
Add a page break. You'll maybe need to add an extra rectangle per page to hold the table and chart controls for that page (been some time since I designed a report, sorry)
Reporting is pretty new to me. I see that VS provides some Reporting controls that provides a wizard to help creating the report. My question is, if I already have stored procedures that generate the report data, what is the difference between presenting it through a reportview or gridview? Is there obvious advantage that reportview control provides that other grid controls don't?
ReportViewer in local mode (RDLC) has a lot of additional functionality
ReportViewer can do multiple tables, graphs and non-table data
ReportViewer can paginate and print data
ReportViewer has capabilities to export the report into Excel, PDF etc.
You can use ReportViewer controls to display reports generated with Sql Server Reporting Services. So if you wanted to have a report that included charts or graphics, you could create it and host it in SSRS and then include it right in your application.
A grid view can only display data in a grid. The report viewer has the capability to format data in much more sophisticated ways.
