Page size in ReportViewer different

[Lucien]

Hi all,

My application includes a Telerik report for a client that has a printer with A3 printing capability. I have defined the PaperKind to A3, Landscape to False, and the Width to 42cm. The PaperSize (disabled in the Properties list) shows a correct 297mm x 420mm. In design mode everthing looks fine and I can add controls over the required width of the report.

However, when running the report in the WinForms ReportViewer the report splits my pages, spreading the columns over 2 pages. I suspect this is due to the fact that my default printer (attached to my development machine) does not support A3 printing.

Is this a correct assumption?
Can I change this setting so I can see the report on screen in A3 width?

Does anybody have an answer to my question, please? Thanks!

Hmmmm..

I have now solved this by setting the PageSettings on my report again (to the A3-related values) just before the RefreshReport() command. Looks great now. :-)

Hi

I am experiencing a problem with ReportViewer on Windows 10. When the user has customized scaling of more than 100%, the report does not render correctly(see attached image). We updated to the latest version (Telerik Reporting R1 2018 SP2 (version 12.0.18.227)) and the issue still there. I am not sure how to fix this issue. Any help?

Hi Pizza,

Firstly, my assumption is that you have a WinForms application which is using the Windows Forms Report Viewer.

I experimented with our demo reports and indeed, when using DPI Unaware application to preview the report, it is rendered with smaller size and remained space on the right and this is an expected behavior.

When using Windows Forms ReportViewer on a machine with DPI scale factor higher than 96 (100%), Windows will stretch the application bitmap to the expected physical size, although this results in the application being blurry. This is because the application in which you are using the Windows Forms Report Viewer is not declared as DPI aware.

However, the recommended approach is setting dpiAware element in your application to avoid further scaling, visual or interaction issues. You might check our demos located in product installation path, i.e. C:\Program Files (x86)\Progress\Telerik Reporting <VERSION>\Examples\CSharp|VB\WinFormsDemo. Note the dpiAware.manifest file at the root of the application.
