I am using SSRS for reports in asp.net application. SSRS Datepicker control is not showing in Chrome and safari. It is just displaying the textbox.
You'll have to use I.E.
I always use a default value so the user knows how to imput the date correctly
I use the ietab chrome extension whenever I access reporting services reports. It works beautifully with reporting services.

I'm sorry to hear this. There will be limited you can do apart from work arounds as this is meant for Microsoft. :(
Mine is forget the date parameter type and use a free text field. In no way is this ideal!
Or use Internet Explorer.
Solution for Chrome: If the parameter's prompt contains the word "date" Chrome will display the calendar control.
(note: this is true for any parameter regardless of the parameters actual datatype)

I am porting Firefox addon to Chrome extension and want to use GridView like following on option window.
However, on chrome extension option.html, such GUI cannot be used and only HTML+CSS can be used.
select tag is not solution because multiple columns can't be used.
How can I make gui by HTML+CSS which multiple columns and selecting by row is possible?
I chose Tabulator from jspreadsheets because it has date sort and appropriate events.
P.S.
As of 2020 August, w2ui cannot used for Chrome extension.
I am using the Embed Widget on a Team Foundation Server 2017 dashboard to show an SSRS report. In particular, I would just like to either show the chart or the chart and the title. I do not want all of the navigation information to be visible. Is there a way for me to remove the navigation area in the rdl file or is there an option just to show the chart?
You can use the tool bar settings on the link to hide it.. something like this
http://yourreportsportal/ReportServer?/report folder/reportname&rc:Toolbar=false&rs:Command=Render
Please note the rc:Toolbar=false
You can use rc:Toolbar=false, or try rv:Toolbar=false too.
For me, rc:Toolbar=false worked.
http://reportsite/ReportServer?/report folder/reportname&rs:Command=Render&rc:Toolbar=false
But there are some versions of SSRS that have a bug on that.
If none of the parameters work, I would recommend you to try to upgrade SSRS and check if there is a newer version or SP that you could apply.
You can see more reference for parameters on https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/url-access-parameter-reference
UPDATE: Only fails in Chrome, this is all working in IE10 and FF.
I have created an SSRS report an published it to a report server. I have a separate web application with a report viewer that looks at the report server to see the data. When I convert the server report to PDF the report shows up fine, however, this is very slow. I would like to just display the report as is, but I only see a blank page when I do this. Here is my code. I used the SsrsReportInfo class from HERE. Please let me know what I am missing.
private void OpenServerReport()
{
//Create SSRS Parameters
var reportInfo = new SsrsReportInfo("TestReport", "http://localhost/ReportServer", #"/ReportTesting2/MainReport");
//Initialize ServerReport
ReportViewer1.ServerReport.ReportPath = reportInfo.ReportPath;
ReportViewer1.ServerReport.ReportServerUrl = new Uri(reportInfo.ReportServerUrl);
if (reportInfo.Parameters != null)
{
ReportViewer1.ServerReport.SetParameters(reportInfo.Parameters);
}
ReportViewer1.ServerReport.Refresh();
//Automatically display as PDF
//var bytes = ReportViewer1.ServerReport.Render("PDF");
//Response.Buffer = true;
//Response.Clear();
//Response.ClearContent();
//Response.ClearHeaders();
//Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
//Response.BinaryWrite(bytes);
//Response.End();
}
P.S. This is the same functionality in the report manager. When I select the report from the report manager (localhost/reports/myfolder/reportname) I see a blank page, but I can click the save button and save it to PDF and see the actual report. The report server (localhost/ReportServer/myfolder/reportname) does display the report data.
Has nothing to do with anything except that SSRS is a proprietary product of MS and MS uses a different rendering engine for IE than does browsers like Chrome(Which I prefer too), Firefox, Opera and Safari. There are two things you can do to stop the headache of doing a rendering to a different format and then presenting that:
Just install the 'IE Tab' plugin to Chrome and Firefox and all the stations that want to view the reports. I generally just do this and on certain sites that need 'Active X' or some proprietary MS thing, it works great.
You are going to need to change the default CSS settings on the SSRS server to get expected output tweaked. Doing this cross browser support for SSRS is a pain in my opinion but someone in StackOverflow actually wanted this answer more than number 1 for some reason and it can be done. The problem with this method is you are then everytime having a new layout kills a different browser having to code more CSS to handle it instead of just faking a different rendering engine.
I had issues with Chrome rendering certain reports for a while, now I never do. I don't even use IE with sites that say that you have to use IE anymore. Just IE Tab with Chrome ;)
Is this possible?
I have created an expression in the TableColumn visibility-hidden field and it works fine in BIDS (Business Intelligence Development Studio) preview but doesn't work when deployed and viewed in Internet Explorer.
=IIF(Parameters!n_CURRENTPERIOD.Value<Month(Now),true,false)
The short answer is yes it is possible.
I bet your problem is outside of your SSRS 2005 environment. Like #MikeTWebb said, are you sure you're pointing to the right data source? Also, your question is thin. Have you tried other browsers? Have you tried in VS2005 Express, which is free and in my view should be what you should be using, not BIDS.
However, the way to do it is pretty simple:
Most controls in SSRS2005 have a Visibility property and can be set with, as you know the IFF() function.
For example, looking inside the RDL of one of my reports, I control the visibility of a TableRow object as thus:
<Details>
<TableRows>
<TableRow>
<Visibility>
<Hidden>=IIf(RowNumber("table1_Group1") < 5 And Fields!CourseName.Value = "Enterprise",True,False)</Hidden>
</Visibility>
<TableCells>
..etc..
In SSRS2005 itself, simply point to the object you require to hide conditionally and place a similar IFF() function call there.
I am sure you know all this, but just to be sure to answer your question directly, the answer is YES!
You just need to find out more about the environment you're trying to run this in.
I have a report that renders a report header on its own page and then two pages for each member that it finds. The report will render each page correctly for the report header and the first member listed but all formatting is lost when the page changes to the second member (page 4 overall). Once this happens all formatting is lost for the entire report: right aligned becomes left, tablix table loses boarders, font changes, etc. It looks very much like when a webpage loses connection to it CSS file. When I navigate back to the first member the formatting is lost here as well and I cannot navigate back to the report header page. I have to navigate back to page two then back to page one twice for the report header page to reappear.
To make things more complicate the report renders as expected in BIDS, report Builder 3.0 and Firefox. The report has worked before from the Report Manager via Internet Explorer (IE) and only recently started to fail. There have only been minor changes since it last ran well form Report Manager via IE and I have investigated them all. I ran copies of the source from both IE and Firefox through an html validator at W3 Schools and they both had the same exact errors that is typical of Microsoft rendered XHTML. The interesting issues is when you have the failed formatted report rendered in Report Manager via IE and then choose to export the file as a PDF or MHTML the exports render the same as expected when looking at BIDS or Report Builder 3.0 including the MHTML viewed via IE.
I really have no idea how to solve this issue and have tried many different approaches to resolve. Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
I just observed similar behavior where my report rendered fine in BIDS, but when deployed to reporting services (2008R2), it rendered incorrectly. In my case, after looking at 2 pages of the report, the third page lost all formatting. Then when I went back to pages 1 and 2, the formatting was lost as well.
The change I made that caused this behavior was very simple. I set the Hidden property for the same text box back to True.
The fix was to do the opposite, set the Hidden property for a text box back to False. In order to hide the box, I changed the font color to match the page background color. This set of workarounds worked for me. The loss of formatting definitely appears to be a bug in the rendering engine of reporting services.
the Header in the subreport that i had i removed it first and then added it again and set the the show page header and footer to falst. this did the trick in formatting to the PDF correctly/
