Set View Mode to Print on Load

How can I make the Reportviewer default to Print Mode as oppose to normal mode on load via server side or client side?

Hi Glenn, 
 
Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support. 
 
In ReportViewer control, we have an API option “printMode” to render the report in print layout mode. By default, the “printMode” option is set to false. If we specify the “printMode” option as true, then the report renders in print layout mode as shown in the code example below.  

       <script type="text/javascript"> 
        $(function () { 
            $("#container").ejReportViewer( 
                { 
                    reportServiceUrl: '/api/ReportApi', 
                    processingMode: ej.ReportViewer.ProcessingMode.Remote,                 
                    printMode: true, 
                    reportPath: '~/App_Data/GroupingAgg.rdl' 
                }); 
        }); 
    </script>    

We have prepared a sample and it can be downloaded, 

Please refer to the UG documentation link for more information,

Thanks here is what I used to get it to work for Syncfusion ASP Reportviewer control:

 <script type="text/javascript">         
     $(function () {
        $("#ReportViewer1").ejReportViewer(
             {
              printMode: true,
                              });
     });
               
</script>
 
<ej:ReportViewer ID="ReportViewer1" runat="server" ClientIDMode="Static" ProcessingMode="Local" ReportPath="~/Reports/Invoice/Invoice.rdlc" Height="1200px" Width="100%" >
<ToolbarSettings ShowToolbar="True"></ToolbarSettings>
</ej:ReportViewer>

Just to confirm I got it working using the code as per my last post.  I should have also mentioned that theReportServiceURL was set in my case from code behind.

Thanks

We have printLayout() method to render/change the print option in our ReportViewer component. So please invoke the printLayout() method to change the print layout once rendered reportviewer container as shown in below code example, 
<script type="text/javascript">               
        function onreportLoaded() { 
            var reportObj = $('#ReportViewer1').data('ejReportViewer');            
            reportObj.printLayout(); 
        } 
       </script> 

We have prepared the sample and it can be downloaded from,

Yes, you can also specify the ReportServiceURL in aspx.cs page from code behind to render the ReportViewer control as shown in the following code example, 
 
Default.aspx.cs: 
public partial class Default : System.Web.UI.Page 
    { 
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) 
        { 
            this.ReportViewer1.ReportServiceUrl = VirtualPathUtility.ToAbsolute("~/api/ReportApi"); 
        } 
    } 
 
We have prepared a sample based on this and shared in above response.
