Is there any alternative to Windows Form ReportViewer Control

Question

Team,

I have implemented the ReportViewer control and it displays the reports correctly with one problem on the pro-4 , pro-3 tab as this below

https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/51ce2679-5671-41c3-91d9-b4636d16b94e/rdlc-print-layout-size-varies-with-resolution-on-surface-pro-win-81-winforms?forum=sqlreportingservices

I have tried all methods like tried making the control system DPI aware but since I am using the Click Once deployment technique , the DPI aware setting in the manifest does not help. I have given up now and there is no fix as yet.

Can anyone suggest a control similar to reportviewer where it displays the reports. any control from infragistics/telerik ?

Please help.

Hi sansoft59,

In SSRS, except report viewer control, there is no OOTB control for us to display reports. In your scenario, I would suggest you submit a feedback to Microsoft about report viewer control rendering issue on Surface Pro tablet, you can submit it to the Microsoft Connect at this link https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/Feedback.

Meanwhile you could provide Microsoft a feature request about alternative of report viewer control at https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer  so that we can try to modify and expand the product features based on your needs.

If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Best regards,

Hello Qiu,

Thanks for your reply.  I had raised this on the site given by you but unfortunately there is no reply from them as such. Please see my feedback id Feedback ID 2237291.

One more request...Is there any technical helpdesk  specific to this issue where my client can reach out to. The client is based in UK. Can you give me the number so that I can explain the problem to them first.

In the meantime, would appreciate your help if you have found anything to help me with this issue.

Hi sansoft59,

I have voted your feedback. If the feedback item has been voted many times, the Microsoft might consider it as a propriety. Sometime delay might be expected, your patience is greatly appreciated.

Regarding get technical helpdesk, I would suggest opening a case with Microsoft Customer Support Services (CSS) (http://support.microsoft.com), so that a dedicated Support Professional can assist you in a more efficient manner.

Thanks for your understanding and support.
