Dynamically created report viewer not displaying report data ?

[Jeremy Mann]

I'm dynamically creating a public ReportViewer and then adding it to the masterpage via a reports base class.  The base class adds the report viewer to the form okay, but the ReportViewer will not render the report (I never even get a "generating" notification).  If I just drop a report viewer control directly on the page and then *only* change the reference, it works as expected(example below). Nothing else is changed; which since the viewer control is actually displaying on the page in both instances, it makes me believe the Telerik engine is having a problem connecting the report to the viewer or perhaps having problems rendering it to the screen. I have also noticed I do not get the report parameter inputs for the dynamically created reportviewer if that helps give any clues to the issue.

ReportViewer1.Report = thisReport;  (RV dynamically created in the base class - RV renders fine on page, but displays no report)
#####  Just change the reference to the dedicated RV and it then works. #####
ReportViewer2.Report = thisReport;  (RV directly put in the page - Everything works as it should)

Is there something out of the ordinary I'm missing for dyanamcily creating a ReportViewer to see the report and then getting it to render? Again, everything works fine for the non dynamically created ReportViewer.

(note: the dynamic created reportviewer is persisted though postbacks as it should)

Hi Jeremy Mann,

It would be best if you open a support ticket and attach a sample project that shows the problematic behavior you describe. Once we review it, we would be able to provide you with more info.
