We are using Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.LocalReport (RDLC)
Only 4 render extensions, pdf, excel, image and 1 more are available.
We want to render the report as HTML finally. How can we do that ? Any related suggestion ?
You would need to add a ReportViewer control to your page.

We are using a web application in html5 and I want to integrate the developed ssrs reports into it. I want to create a report viewer for displaying the reports in my web application. I do not want to use .aspx page or any mvc page. I want the report viewer in html5.
Thanks in advance
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds to me as if you are requesting that Microsoft add a .NET library or some "embeddable control" that you can put into an html5 project. Currently, I do not believe that there is a control for displaying the reports in html5 as you are requesting. You must use a work around as suggested by Coder of Code.
You can also look to these threads which basically say the same thing:

If you are just trying to show the HTML render of a report and you want it to look like a native object to the application without any parameters or toolbar, then you could call the URL for the report directly and include "&rc:Toolbar=false" in the URL. This will hide the toolbar for the Report Viewer control. This method is described under the URL Access Parameter Reference msdn article. Not exactly what you asked for, but it may achieve the purpose.
You can use the Reporting server's URL for your report as it returns the data in the HTML format and show that that in the IFrame in HTML. I never did it but this approach can work by setting the Iframes URL as the reporting servers URL which will be something like this,
http://ServerName/ReportServer?%2fSome+Folder%2fSome+Report+Name&rs:Command=Render&rc:Toolbar=false&rc:HTMLFragment=true
I'm curious about how the ReportViewer is rendered. I have noticed that within the MSRS10.MSSQLSERVER > Reporting Services > Report Server > Pages folder there is an aspx page called ReportViewer. I thought that might be the page that is rendering the ReportViewer. Is there an ability to modify this page in order to have more control over how the ReportViewer is rendered? Along the same path, I also see a Styles folder with the files HtmlViewer, SP_Full and SP_Small. Are these files used to render the ReportViewer?
It's alot of questions you are asking here.
Indeed the reportserver uses the Reportviewer to render the reports, more information on this can be found here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms251771(VS.90).aspx
On the reportserver there are several configuration files which alter the rendering, configuration, security etc.. see this link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms155866.aspx
As for the stylesheets: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345247.aspx
I hope this helps!
I've read rumors that with the Report Viewer component of Visual Studio 2010 Professional, it is possible to render HTML from the database into a report. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find definite information online and I'd rather not buy the upgrade just to try it out.
Can anyone confirm or deny that this feature exists, preferably by citing a credible source (such as the VS 2010 documentation)?
(EDIT) Clarification: I'm talking about Visual Studio, not SQL Server. I know that SSRS 2008 and SSRS 2010 support rendering HTML. I also know that Visual Studio and SQL Server use the same libraries for rendering reports. That's why I think that it might be possible to render HTML in Visual Studio 2010 client-side ("local processing") RDLC reports. I just want someone to confirm this: Can I render HTML using the ReportViewer component of Visual Studio 2010?
You can render subsets of HTML in a VS2010 Report Viewer by editing the Place Holder properties under "General" on the L/H side of the properties window. This will work in .RDLC or .RDL file.
According to your comment above:
#Alison: The problem is quite simple: If I display a field containing HTML in a report, this field shows the HTML source instead of the rendered content. Your statement that rdlc s in VS2008 Professional support HTML rendering surprises me. As far as I know, this is not the case (see, for example, stackoverflow.com/questions/2172105). Can you give more information on how you think it is possible to display rendered HTML in a VS2008 report (note that I am talking about rdlc reports, not Crystal reports)?
Create a placeholder, or select one that may already be in a grid for example. Right Click and select Placeholder Properties. General should be selected by default, look under Markup Type, select the "HTML - Interpret HTML tags as styles" radio button. This will cause the control to render a subset of HTML.
Clarification: This works for .RDLC files created with VS2010 and its Report Viewer.

Yes, you can Render html in Visual Studio 2010 Professional. Only you need to do is double click on text field that you want to render, It will open Placeholder Properties window, By default General tab will be selected on the left top corner, if it is not selected , Please select General tab, there you will see radio button option:Html-Interpret HTML tags as style, Please select that option and click ok, that should work.
I am using jasper report with my application and generating the reports in pdf formats, which are coming up fine. We want the user to be able to view those reports in html also with in the application, but generating HTML from jasper contains inline CSS for its individual element which we do not want. (We want to apply our own CSS so that look and feel of application remains same.). If any body has any ideas how it can be done, please help.
Also we do not want large number of records in a single page in html, so any ideas on how we can implement pagination in such a scenario.
I don't think so you can separate the CSSs from the HTML which is generated by the iReport.
To check for some more options please open the export options which are under
Tools->> Options ->> Export Options.
I am using SQL 2005 reporting services (SSRS) with the web report viewer control. It is showing the report inside an IFRAME on the web page. If I implement a drill down functionality, by attaching a URL action to a chart elements, the navigation will happen only inside the IFRAME. I know how to set the target frame for navigation on a normal HTML page. But in the report definition (RDL) I can't find any property to select the target frame.
Any solution or workaround?
hmm it appparently didnt post my last reply. You might try adding the rc:LinkTarget querystring parameter to the IFRAME src. I use "&rc:LinkTarget=_blank" on some charts displayed in an IFRAME and they open the full report correctly.

I don't believe that the RDL has that option built in. Try adding it as a connect item and see if they will add it to a future version of SQL Server.
If you override the HTML Render method, and pass some DeviceInfo parameters, you can accomplish this.
Take a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms155395.aspx
There is a LinkTarget property that would handle this.
