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 have a SVG image and I want to display it in design. I use Visual Studio Community 2019. I tried to use <asp:Image/> control. With this control I can resize the SVG, but the image is not displayed. What should I do to display it in design?
Many thanks in advance!
It's not Visual Studio's native designer (i.e. doesn't appear in the designer tab), but I suspect either of these would give you the desired result..
VS extension "Markdown Editor"

Be sure to right click file and use 'open with.. markdown editor'
Example..
VS extension "SVG Viewer"

Sets the default file handling automatically, but you can't zoom into the image wihtout zooming in the entire code editor window
Is HTML and CSS live preview available in Visual Studio 2015? if so, how to activate it?
if not is there any plugin for Visual Studio 2015 to use this feature?
I found a plugin in the Visual Studio Marketplace. The name of the plugin is Live HTML Previewer. Here is the link
I'm not sure if there is an out-of-the-box feature in Visual Studio to do this (I don't do much web development), but a quick Google search returned these extensions that might help you:
Live HTML Previewer
HTML Preview
Web Essentials - This one I've actually seen before, and know to be quite powerful
You could right-click on your project name and check if it offers an option for 'Page Inspector'.
If it does and you select it, it will open a panel on visual studio that shows your app as it would show in a browser with the html below in a separate section of the panel as well as a separate section for the style, etc.
Similar to what you see when you open developer tools on a browser, but with a preview included.
While you can't change the code in the panel's html section, you can make changes to your actual project files and update the preview by clicking the yellow notification bar indicating that the files have changed.
You can even expand or reduce the preview panel, and if you app is responsive, it will be responsive in the panel as well.
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:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/sqlserver/en-US/7613447b-3590-4494-a94a-498af49f85dc/does-ssrs-2012-support-html5-and-dynamic-position
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
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.

Microsoft have just released a few new ajax controls including an ajaxed up HTML editor control.
http://www.asp.net/learn/Ajax-Control-Toolkit/tutorial-50-cs.aspx
I would like to try this in Sharepoint (as the built in Sharepoint one is awful (no cross browser at all and flaky on IE) I tried the Telerik free one but it was not very stable.
I guess that getting the control up on a page won't be too hard, but how do I make sure the resulting HTML is stored in the Sharepoint way(tm)?
Thanks
If you intend to replace the standard SharePoint rich text editor, you would likely find it much easier to use jQuery than the ajax control toolkit. The MS ajax controls have a server component - you may be able to get it into a custom column type, but it's going to be a lot easier if you just replace the textbox with something better clientside.
The standard control works in a similar way - a standard textbox containing html is created on the server, and javascript is used to hide that and connect it to the rich text editor.
There is really nothing you need to do to format the HTML for SharePoint. If you are working with a field control you can expect that SharePoint will strip out a lot of the HTML from your control.
