Limitations in Syncfusion ASP.NET Web Forms ReportViewer

Syncfusion ReportViewer has very few limitations when compared to MS ReportViewer and RDL Standards. The limitations are as follows.

RDL Format

Syncfusion ReportViewer only supports RDL2008 and RDL2008R2 formats and it does not support RDL20005 format.

Layout Process

Syncfusion ReportViewer has limitations in Tablix Cell and Textbox split layout process when compared with MS ReportViewer. When a table cell or a textbox width value exceeds the page width, the entire cell or textbox is moved to the next page, in order to display the complete cell or textbox item.

Unsupported Expression

The Object function and VB function do not have complete support in ReportViewer.

SSRS Shared DataSources

DataSource credentials must be added to the ReportViewer for Shared DataSources which do not have credentials in the connection string and used in the SSRS Reports.

Note:

A new version of Essential Studio for ASP.NET is available. Versions prior to the release of Essential Studio 2014, Volume 2 will now be referred to as a classic versions.The new ASP.NET suite is powered by Essential Studio for JavaScript providing client-side rendering of HTML 5-JavaScript controls, offering better performance, and better support for touch interactivity. The new version includes all the features of the old version, so migration is easy.

The Classic controls can be used in existing projects; however, if you are starting a new project, we recommend using the latest version of Essential Studio for ASP.NET. Although Syncfusion will continue to support all Classic Versions, we are happy to assist you in migrating to the newest edition.
