Considering how to implement branding in our SSRS, but the branding menu is missing from my menu.
I distinctly remember when I first installed SSRS, that it was available, but soon afterwards it disappeared.
My user has administrator access.
Currently have Version 14.0.600.594 (October 2017) installed.
Below is a screenshot from Microsoft's website.

We add some custom view locations to the Razor View Engine and this works well except for the small thing that Visual Studios "Go To View" no longer work.
I found this post but it is from 5 years ago and I wonder if some new settings have been added to Visual Studio 2017 for this? Or does any one know of an extension that can help?
I have 2 custom fonts that were recently installed. Both fonts are True Type.
I'm using Visual Studio 2015 on Windows 7 Enterprise.
I have a report that I need to modify so it matches our corporate standards. The issue is, the custom fonts that were installed on my machine are unavailable in the Report Designer. Again, I'm using Visual Studio 2015 to do my report editing.
I've scoured the internet looking for a solution but still have not found one.
The fonts are available in Notepad and if I open Visual Studio and go to Tools --> Options --> Fonts and Colors. The new fonts are available.
Does anyone know what I need to do in order to get my new fonts to show up?
thank you
Is it possible to create Custom (own) controls for the SQL Server Mobile Report publisher? Meaning own graphes (Gauges), styles, maps, etc...
I was unable to find any information about this topic on Google (or other sites like SO). Few days back we had lectures/training with some developer (basics of Reporting) and he shortly said that it is possible, but we haven't got time to go through it.
My expectations (as an answer) is explanation what tool can be used and/or link to tutorial.
Possibly also some information (with source) that this cannot be created in version 2016.
Short story: It is not possible to create custom control in Mobile Reports Publisher as of now (March 2017). There is no support in the software itself. However Microsoft will allow store/use Power BI reports within Reporting services.
Long story: I've reached out the tutorial guru and discussed this further. We've found that the original statement is not true and mobile reports cannot be adjusted in a way of creating new control or modifying style sheet.
But: Since Mobile reports are sort of family with product called Power BI, Microsoft has decided (as described in MS Technical preview - January 2017) to support Power BI Reports on next version MS Reporting Services. And as there can be done some visualisation changes and even create new controls, most likely we will be also able to create our own control.
I have a .NET 3.5 website that we work on in Visual Studio 2010. The problem is that when we publish the website and put the files to the web server with IIS7, the display is different than what is shown when we run locally. The problem happens on all of our supported browsers: Chrome, IE, and Firefox. The control that is displaying incorrectly is an asp menu control. While I have read many other threads regarding issues with this control, none of the solutions seem right for my specific problem.
In chrome, I used the Firebug extension to compare the html and css for the desirable and undesirable displays. I found that the css is identical while the HTML is different. The information below compares the html tags that get generated for different browsers and publishing methods.
Visual Studio 2008 publish and local (desirable):
Chrome: ul, li
IE: ul, li
Visual Studio 2010 publish (undesirable):
Chrome: span
IE: table, tr, td
Our temporary workaround is very inconvenient. When we are ready to publish, we open the website in Visual Studio 2008 and publish from there.
Another problem I have that is related: sometimes, this menu is supposed to be hidden. When I publish from 2010, it is not hidden when it should be. Desirable behavior is achieved when running locally or publishing from Visual Studio 2008.
I saw the solution here that was the closest thing I found to my problem. ASP.NET Menu rendering different from vs2008 to vs2010 The only difference here is that the asker's problem was Chrome specific while my problem extends to all browsers. Maybe this solution can be tailored to my issue?
I haven't solved this problem exactly, but do think I found the problem. I read that there is a bug with visual studio where the app browsers dll gets published in .net 4.0 even though my project is .net 3.5. A workaround is to save the file from the 2008 publish and replace the file from the 2010 publish with the 2008 version. I guess this problem will go away once we upgrade our .net version.
Problem description:
Whenever an exception is thrown and not catched a dialog pops up. I want Visual Studio Express 2012 just to break and stop grabbing all my input with this modal dialog window. Example of the dialog:
Wanted solution:
VS 2010 does not show this annoying pop-up window but something called exception assistant. How an I can get the same type of break on exceptions in 2012 as in 2010? Even if that's not possible I really want the pop-up to be gone while keeping the break.
Things I've tried to solve this problem:
Search for a solution on both Google and here on StackOverflow (some of the keywords I used: visual studio 2012, pop-up, window, dialog, exception assistant, exception, break)
Run repair on VS 2012
Uninstall and delete settings (folder: C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Visual Studio 2012) followed by an install
Tools -> Import and Export Settings -> "Reset all settings"
Enable the "Break when exception type is thrown"
Change settings in the: "Tools -> Options -> Debugging -> General"
Edit:
I'm using the Express edition, no exception assistant anymore! :(
Edit2:
Found a (very ugly) workaround using AutoHotkey:
#SingleInstance force
#Persistent
loop
{
WinWaitActive, Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Desktop
WinClose, Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Desktop
}
return
Based off of answers on the following forum, VS 2012 Express no longer has the exception assistant option:

Hopefully we'll see it back in future versions of VS Express. VS 2010 Express is still available to my knowledge, and 2012 can read 2010 projects without destroying compatibility. So if it's a big deal to you, you can go back to 2010 to trace the bugs. Not a particularly exciting solution, but I'm still impressed that Microsoft has given out as many features as they have in the Express editions.
In VS2012, when I unchecked Tools -> Options ->Debugging -> General -> "Enable Exception Assistant" I get the annoying dialog box.
