sp2 broke my reports in report viewer print layout mode

SQL Server

GraemeH


Since SP2 was installed on our SSRS server a couple of days ago, reports viewed in the client Report Viewer control (with or without VS SP1) show a black background when in Print Layout Mode. All other rendering options work fine. Anyone else seen this Any clues how to fix

Thanks

It's happening on several machines, but they are all fairly standard. I will try with a laptop later which presumably has a completely different video card....

Hello Graeme,

I don't know if you've gotten this fixed yet, but I was searching around for the same and found a solution that can help you.

It seems the fix is to change the background color of your report to White, instead of leaving it as Transparent.

Hope this helps.

MS produced a hot fix - see this thread (I double posted in the Visual Studio forum)
