Starting in 2019, the Reporting control is no longer included in Essential Studio. If you're experiencing issues with the Syncfusion Reporting Platform, Report Viewer, Report Designer, or Report Writer, we recommend migrating to Bold Reports, our dedicated reporting platform.

Bold Reports offers a comprehensive suite of tools and features for all your reporting needs, and we will help you make a smooth transition from the discontinued control. Our support team at https://support.boldreports.com/ is here to assist you with any questions or difficulties you may encounter during the migration process.

We thank you for choosing Syncfusion and appreciate your understanding.

Report loads, but is not displayed

I am able to export and print the report, but I can't view it in the browser. In Chrome and Firefox, I see the toolbar, but nothing underneath it.

First I made an rdl with SQL Server 2016 Report Builder, and wondered if there was some sort of compatibility issue so I made a similar rdlc in VS 2017. Both will print and export properly. In Firefox the rdlc will show a a quarter inch of so of the report AFTER I try to print and cancel the print.


OnInitReportOptions() has been modified from the examples I found with my own datasource and datasourcecredentials. I also set it to a local processing.

My View

<ej-report-viewer id="reportviewer1" report-service-url="/Incidents"></ej-report-viewer>

<script type="text/javascript">
    function onReportPrint(args) {
        args.isStyleLoad = false;
    }
</script>

Hi Justin, 

Thanks for your interest in our Syncfusion products. 

We have validated the mentioned RDLC report is not displaying problem in Report Viewer at our end, we are able to preview the reports properly in ASP.NET Core Report Viewer. We have prepared the simple sample to load the RDLC report with business object datasource and it can be downloaded from below location. So could you please confirm whether the below attached sample is working or not at your end.  

If issue still persists then please revert us by modifying the above attached sample to validate the mentioned problem at our end and provide solution at earliest. 

Regards, 
Mahendran S.

The sample worked and the c# all looked the same, so I suspected it was something in my _Layout.cshtml causing the problem. I created a Layout2.cshtml, copied the sample _Layout to it and had my report view use it. That worked, so there must be a script or css reference missing in _Layout.
