    I've just updated to Internet Explorer 8 and my web app reports don't render correctly anymore. They are fine in compatability mode. The reports use the Microsoft ASP.NET v2/VS 2005 report viewer. It's a shame as the rest of the site works fine. Anyone know if there's an update to the report viewer in the pipeline?

    BTW - I've just tried adding <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" /> in the <head> section of the report viewer page and it doesn't seem to work. Still renders in IE8 mode unless I change the entire site to compatability mode.

    Cheers, Rob.

    Hi Rob,

    You can use the DOCTYPE for Quirks mode on your page. See this article for more details http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?cid=85fee

    Anyone got any news on a fix for this to allow ReportViewer 2008 control to work with IE8 in native mode?

    Cheers, Rob.

    I've taken to having the page run in compatibility mode as suggested above. It's a server side fix that works fairly transparantly to the end user.

    How you had any issues with protected mode blocking the print button ? errors like "could not load client print control" or  "An error occurred during this operation"

    Yes, I'm stuck in compatability model and yes, I've had an issue with the print control. I raised a support call with WebHost4Life on it but to be honest, their reply is still in "to do" list.

    I hope Microsoft do release a service pack for this very useful component.

    Cheers, Rob.
