Web Report Viewer allows Export when Required Parameters are not populated

[Michael Love]

Hi there.

I just noticed that in the web report viewer, that you are able to export a report without entering any required data. Is there a way to prevent this?

Thanks, MIke

Hi Michael Love,

This is hardly a real life scenario, as users require specific info to be displayed and exported and for that they have to select a parameter value. If a parameter is not selected, a warning sign is shown to hint you that a value should be selected as well as error message: "Please input data for all parameters". Under what circumstances would you continue and try to export after this point?

All the best,

I agree that it is not a normal scenario. I just noticed the issue because my code was expecting there to be a parameter set and I received an exception. It just seems like the export command should work like the Preview command.

My 2 cents, Mike
