Answer 5

While you can't extend the toolbar in this version, you can hide the toolbar and implement your own.  We do support custom localization of the built in toolbar for both the winforms and webforms controls via the IReportViewerMessages interface.

You can inherit from ReportViewer and check the OnControlsAdded method to add controls to the Toolbar.  Check out the following link for details and a sample application.

You could add some javascript to change the look of the toolbar at runtime. Not very elegant, but does the job.
