I am playing with the new WPF ReportViewer and am wondering if there is a secret to getting it to fill a container without overflow? It does just great when a specific height and width are set, but if I remove the height and width settings from the XAML tag and just let it fill up the enclosing grid cell, when my reports are long it overflows. Instead of the edge of the ReportViewer being contained and the vertical scrollbar being activated, it just pushes beyond the edge of the window.
Any tips or ideas? I'd like to have a window that users can resize, and ideally I'd like to do so without having to code something that catches a resize-type event and calculates a new specific size for the report viewer.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.....

Hi Julia Essex,
The WPF Report Viewer fills the parent cell by default. Check out the Telerik Reporting examples that came with your installation. In the example we haven't set any size properties to the viewer and it is able to fill the parent grid cell. We suspect that you have set a size to the parent cell that forces the view to grow beyond the windows.
If you still experience difficulties send us your xaml that shows the unexpected behavior you have encountered, so we can investigate it locally.

Peter

Also ensure that your ReportViewer control is not nested within a pre-existing ScrollViewer.
I had the same problem and couldn't figure out why my ReportViewer was overflowing out of the cell boundary when a report was too wide. I noticed my view's parent template had a ScrollViewer wrapping all child content. Removing the parent ScrollViewer solved the problem and prevented the ReportViewer from growing when the report contained within it is too large to fit the container.
Now, scrollbars only appear when necessary in the report's container and everything sits tightly within the ReportViewer.
Hope that helps someone else down the road.
