Hi Somay,

I am not sure what you mean by the report viewer tool. If you mean the ReportViewer control, I guess you may set the back color of the ReportViewer control to black. You can click on the “Print Layout” button to check if you can see the report. I have the following code, and it works well on my machine.

Code Block

        DataTable dt = new DataTable();// used as the data source of the report

 

        private void CusForm_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            dt.Columns.Add("Id");

            dt.Columns.Add("Name");

            for (int i = 1; i < 200; i++)

            {

                dt.Rows.Add(i.ToString("00"), "Name" + i.ToString("00"));

            }

            dt.AcceptChanges();

 

            this.dataGridView1.DataSource = dt;

        }

 

        private void btnViewReport_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            reportViewer1.LocalReport.ReportEmbeddedResource = "ReportTest.CusReport.rdlc";

            reportViewer1.LocalReport.DataSources.Clear();

            //set the data source, the first patameter is the name of the datasource which you bind your report table to

            reportViewer1.LocalReport.DataSources.Add(new Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportDataSource("CusDataSet_Person", dt));

            // set the parameter of the report

            Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportParameter rp = new Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportParameter("title", this.textBox1.Text);

            reportViewer1.LocalReport.SetParameters(new Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportParameter[] { rp });

            this.reportViewer1.RefreshReport();

        }

 

Let me know if this helps. If not, Could you please provide some more details?

Hope this helps.
Best regards.
