  4. The ReportViewer WPF control adds extra margins to a report
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.

The ReportViewer WPF control adds extra margins to a report

Hi

I'm using the ReportViewer to show a report (rdl file) created with Visual Studio, but when I preview the report with the Microsoft control, it shows exactly with the margins I declared, but when the app runs and I show the report with ReportViewer, it adds extra margins.

I attached a pdf file with the preview (Microsoft control) and with the result with Syncfusion ReportViewer.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Manoranjan

I'm sending you a VS2019 solution sample using AdventureWorks Database. with a labels report with top margin of 0.1 in

There is also an image with the printed result. On the right side the result with Microsoft Report Viewer control, and on the left the page printed with Syncfusion ReportViewer. You can notice the extra margin on top, and little by little, the space between labels is reduced.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards.

Hi Manoranjan

I already migrated the ReportViewer control to Bold Reports.

The top margin is better, not at the same position than Microsoft control, but better.

The problem is not only with the top margin, also the space between rows. I'm printing labels on a paper size A4. and at the beginning is fine but since row 7 to the bottom, the rows fall between one label and the next.

I'm sending you an image with both results. With the example application that I sent you earlier the same thing happens.

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Daniel P.

Hi Dan Michael,  
 
After our further analysis reported space issue  Tablix row with MS exported print file is a not issue because we don’t have exact printing layout of MS and from as this is behavior of Bold report viewer. We don’t find any major differences in print file and  every row have small differences its make you to differ with MS print file at after 7th rows.
