VisualStudio Report Viewer not rendering report body in Chrome - google-chrome

I'm aware that Chrome is not supported - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156511.aspx for the Report Viewer.
The solution here has not worked for me
ReportViewer problem in google chrome unfortunately
In our case the report body is blank. I have come across solutions to report height issues and distortion issues in the tool bar but in my case I have yet to get to that stage.
When I navigate to the Report Manager in Chrome I can see my reports [They are not perfect but are at least showing the report body]
http://localhost/Reports_SQLSERVER2008/Pages/Report.aspx? [clipped]
I have 2 questions wrt this issue and I hope someone will be able to shed some light on them.
Why would the report viewer in the Report Manager render the report body in Chrome while the VS 2010 Report viewer control will not. [Leads me to believe that the Viewer can render in Chrome so it may be something I can change].
Is it possible to extend the Report Viewer to at least render the body in Chrome.
All other browsers are fine.
Its an ASP.Net 4.0 web form app using the VS 2010 version of the report viewer on SQL Server 2008 [Moving to 2008 R2 in a short while].
I'm at the stage also where it may be the case that the effort required to resolve this issue cannot be justified. I expect there may be other problems such as parameter selection etc. I'd like to hear your thoughts.
Thanks in advance,
Rgds,
Liam

This is the fix that worked for us but is specific to our implementation.
We have the ReportViewer wrapped in a user control and this report viewer user control is used in 2 places in our Asp.Net app.
On a basic Reports page
On a webparts [Dashboard] page. Each web part contains a Report Viewer user control.
In the markup of the Report Viewer user control we set the height of the Report Viewer to a large number in Pixels. i.e. 1200px.
The report body renders in Chrome on the reports page and on our dashboard page.
As the reports page displays 1 report at a time the height setting is not an issue
In the dashboard we already expose a personalisation property of the webpart containing the report path which allows us to load what ever report we require.
We also expose a new property to store the hieght of the report in the personalisation framework and this in turn sets the height of the report viewer as required by the user.

I experienced the same problem: a blank body. Only the toolbar was visible. Using browser developer tools, I was able to find out that if I put an height of 1000px on the div that contained the report viewer, the content would be become visible.
Then, I found a property SizeToReportContent, which, if set to True, makes the content render correctly.
This property is available in the ReportViewer control in Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=10.0.0.0. I use local reports.

The fix that worked for me was setting: asyncrendering="False"

SSRS Report to show hide a message based on the browser the report is loading in

Does anyone know if I will be able to show/hide a message on ssrs report based on the browser the user is using to view the report.
Basically I have got into a difficult situation where I have built a report which was needed, however for some reason it does not load in Internet Explorer. All the graphs get jumbled up when IE is used to view the report. But the report is good on Google Chrome.
So I want to display a text which checks if the browser is Chrome, if No - displays a text message that the report needs to be loaded in Chrome. However when it is loading in Chrome the text box is hidden using the show/hide property for the text box.
It is sloppy now but that's all the time I am left with to invest on this report for the team. please can someone help.

PowerBI Server - View reports in mobile format

Is it possible to view PowerBI Report Server deployed reports in the mobile format using a browser, without using the PowerBI Mobile application?
By default, if you open a report on a mobile browser, it opens a scaled down version of the full-size view.
Perhaps there is a url parameter that requests the mobile version of the report, similar to ?rs:embed=true appended to the end of the report url? (?rs:mobile=true has no effect)
Could not find anything on this.
Edit - currently, as a workaround considering creating versions of desktop reports with small resolution set under "Page Size" in "Format" tab, but this would be far from ideal (Reports rendered as desktop reports, Filters and tabs panes visible, inconvenient maintenance).
See the feature request on the PowerBI community site - No is the short answer to you r question.

SSRS Report Viewer Print Button Not Working

I'm using SSRS 2016 and am currently generating several reports using the
http://[servername]/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?/[Report Path]&rc:Parameters=false
interface. The report renders correctly with all parameters supplied by the forwarding page. However, in the rendered report viewer, the Print Button is entirely non-functional. I've tried in Chrome, IE, & Edge, and none of them are able to even open a printer prompt, the print button just registers and click and, nothing.
I've ensured Client Printing is enabled in the SSRS settings. I'm trying to avoid forcing the operator to export to PDF (which does work on the standard toolbar) and using Adobe's print function.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I have had this issue in the past. I fixed it by opening my browser with "Run as Administrator". This may not be the solution for your problem... but it may help someone who stumbles on this question, so I decided to post as a potential answer.

SSRS Report - Removing right side white space

I'm developing an SSRS report in Visual Studio 2012. The report is set up to use landscape orientation. There is a 0.25in margin on the left and no margin on the right. The report is 10.5 inches wide. ConsumeContainerWhitespace is set to True. There are no hidden objects outside of the normal report area.
When I look at the report in print view or actually print it out there is a huge amount of white space on the right side of the report. It's almost like the report is being shrunk and then left justified when printing.
I would love to get this fixed so the report prints the same as it looks in the designer. If anyone has an opinion or some input it would be most welcome. Thank you!
This problem appears when a Windows 10 user has their DPI set to a value that is higher than %100. If DPI is set to %100 then the issue does not occur and no white space is seen when doing a print view or actually printing the report.
This is a common issue with Windows 10 and certain applications including ClickOnce apps like the one I'm using to run the reports. There does not seem to be a way to fix this from within Visual Studio as you can't make an application DPI aware that uses the ClickOnce deployment model.
The following steps will fix a Report temporarily until it is updated and the .exe is overwritten. This fix will also work for other Windows 10 apps, including Chrome, that appear blurry from using a custom DPI over %100. Be aware though that while this fix will fix blurry fonts in a ClickOnce app and white space in an SSRS report it can also disturb control positioning and form size.
Navigate to C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0
Under the 2.0 directory you will see one or more folders that are named with a random set of letters and numbers. Within these directories you must find the folder for the desired application. The folders will usually start with the first 3 or four letters of the application but there can be more than one folder that exists for your application.
Locate the .exe for your application. There may be more than one .exe for your app so apply this fix fix to all of them just to be sure.
Rightclick on the .exe and select properties and click the Compatibility tab.
Check the Disable display scaling on high DPI settings checkbox and click OK
Rerun your application and create a report that opens the report viewer.
Click the Print Layout button. The report should now be displayed with no white space on the right.
Print the report. There should be no extra white space on the right side of the report.
You can also work around the issue by temporarily setting your DPI back to %100 but I think that is a poor solution.
If it is a matrix report, you may also try setting the ConsumeContainerWhiteSpace to true. It is Report level property that you can find under "Other".
or else if it is a tabular report then adjust the margin and width accordingly.

You have me stumped but things I would check:
There isn't a textbox or label or something pushing past the boundary of the expected margin. This causes the report to print like what you are seeing. Just expand the report and make sure everything is actually less than 10.25 inches.
Is your paper size set to letter?

SSRS Report Viewer Control Display Issues

I have a report that is now displayed via an ASPX report viewer control (VS2010). It was previously displayed via Report Builder 3.
The browser is the same, IE8, but the report is now NOT displaying vertical text
Is there an issue with the control and is there a fix or a workaround? The report now looks very poor!
Thanks
