Rendering Reports in Chrome and Safari

A client complained that Reporting Services ReportViewer doesn’t render reports in Google Chrome or Apple Safari browsers. The magic property to apparently fix this issue was SizeToReportContent=”True”

<rsweb:ReportViewer
ID=”reportViewer” runat=”server” Height=”100%” Width=”100%”
SizeToReportContent=”True”>

</rsweb:ReportViewer>

Here is a link to Microsoft’s official stand on the browser support for Reporting Services. A couple of notes:

1. Currently Microsoft doesn’t support report rendering in Chrome but are re-visiting the browser support matrix periodically.
2. Report Manager doesn’t work in Safari or Firefox. Report Manager supports IE only. However, report rendering by URL or ReportViewer should work with the above change.
