ReportViewer 2008 does not render

I am having problems with my ReportViewer 2008 controls not working. I get a ton of JavaScript errors on the page (probably from the .NET AJAX) and the buttons on the ReportViewer never load. Not to mention that the report itself never shows up. I have done some research on this topic, and everything that I have seen says that it is a problem with IIS.

A lot of forums say that they following needs to be done. In IIS7 use the "Add Managed Handler" and add the following:

Request Path: Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd
Type: Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.HttpHandler
Name: Reserved-ReportViewerWebControl-axd

I have not tried this yet, as I do not have IIS 7 Configuration Manager installed yet, but was wondering if anyone else is using ReportViewer controls in a .NET 3.5 project using VS 2008 and has either had problems or has got this working.

Thank you!

 

Hi,
I'm working on a Webcast for this and have made the necessary changes to the IIS7 test server here.
To get past those errors your web.config needs to differ on IIS7, as it uses a diferent section.
You can do this from the IIS7 manager or by editing your web.config, it has the same result.

 

That fixed it. Thank you very much, this was starting to drive me crazy. Why doesn't this get added when you drag the ReportViewer control on the page? Makes me wonder what is going on over there in Redmond!


Thank you so much!

 

Cool....It drove me nuts too, until I figured that out.

 

Thanks so much for the help on this. I've been fighting this for a couple of days and just found this post.
