SQL Reporting Services: Why does my report shrink when it's emailed?

I created a simple report and uploaded it to my report server. It looks correct on the report server, but when I set up an email subscription, the report is much narrower than it is supposed to be. Here is what the report looks like in the designer. It looks similar when I view it on the report server: [http://img58.imageshack.us/img58/...

Hosting a bare-bones XAML editor in my application?

In our application, we allow administrators of an install to design templates for name tags that are printed when they check-in from a kiosk (sort of like checking in for a flight at a kiosk and printing out a boarding pass).

Text in PDF render of Reporting Services report "overprints"

A report I have been working on some time ago started mis-rendering around Christmas. Some of the text boxes on it suddenly started rendering each character in their text content on top of each other, as if the printing of each character no longer "advances the cursor" to the correct position for the next one. The report is rendered to P...

WinForms ReportViewer: slow initial rendering

UPDATE 2.4.2010 Yeah, this is an old question but I thought I would give an update. So, I'm working with the ReportViewer again and it's still rendering slowly on the initial load.

[SSRS] Parameter Validation on Reports

I'm new to SSRS, so I apologize if this question is too simple: I have a report which accepts a parameter called "Amount".

Reporting Services keeps erasing my dataset parameters

I'm using a web service and every time I change something on the dataset, it erases all my parameters. The weird thing is, I can execute the web service call from the data tab and it prompts for all my parameters, but if I click to edit the data the list is empty or if I try to preview the report it blows up because parameters are missi...

SSRS Report Builder 2.0 - Use with SQL 2005

I'm starting to look into SSRS Report Builder 2.0, and I see in the documentation that it supports connections to SQL 2005.
