After the first :

C#

CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource

Add :

C#

System.Web.HttpBrowserCapabilities vBrowser = Request.Browser;
       if (vBrowser.Type == "IE10" && vBrowser.MajorVersion > 9)
           Response.Write(".");

Got this from another forum and could not believe my eyes it worked.

Also note if you re-render the page with Page_Init, must it not be loaded here, only when the Only on your reports Load button for example..

Solution 1

Looks like IE10 & Windows8 are yet not supported by Crystal reports, here: http://scn.sap.com/thread/3233406[^]

Update: As mentioned in my answer, there is no support as of now. The link I have given is of SAP forum (they own crystal reports) where it is clearly discussed and mentioned that as of now it's not supported.

Add this to the head section of your page that contains the report viewer:

HTML

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9,chrome=1" >

This will force IE10 to render your page as IE9 automatically to get your report working. HTH

Hi Marc,

I tried this meta thing you mentioned, but did not work for me.
I am not really a black-belt master of asp.net,
so could you check me code below whether or not I put that meta tag into a right place in the code?

Thanks in advance for your help!

...
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>pgeReportCaller</title>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9" />
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft Visual Studio 7.0" />
<meta name="CODE_LANGUAGE" content="C#" />
<meta name="vs_defaultClientScript" content="JavaScript" />
<meta name="vs_targetSchema" content="http://schemas.microsoft.com/intellisense/ie5" />

<link href="../Common/eldoradoRSStyle.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
</script>

</head>
<body>
<manas:Message ID="Message1" runat="server">
<form id="form1" method="post" runat="server">

<cr:CrystalReportViewer ID="CrystalReportViewer1" runat="server" AutoDataBind="True"

</form>
</body>
</html>

Add the following line BEFORE the <html xmlns="...">

<!DOCTYPE html>

Hi Marc,

thank you for your quick answer.
Please see below the full code of the page.
That meta tag is in the <head> section of the page. Is there anything else I might need to change/set? Or it should work as it is now?
If I try the 'Solution 3' (Response.Write(".") thing) it works for me.
But this solution you posted looks more 'conscious' and nicer so I would try this first to make it work :).

To get the meta tag applied, you must change the DOCTYPE as I told you before. You have this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Modify it so it looks like this simple line:

<!DOCTYPE html>

And maybe you must change this line:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

to just this:

<html lang="en">

Hi Marc,
Thank you for your quick answers!!!

Just as a closure of this discussion, here is how we were able to solve this problem finally.
Our site is an old site, it still uses framesets/frames. (I did not think that this could play any role but it seems it did :)).
All we needed to do was to remove the !DOCTYPE directive from the page that displays the report... and then the page and the report worked like a charm.
Apparently this 'behavior' is specific to framesets.

If the page that displays the report is not using frames the <meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="IE=9" /> is still required.

Solution 5

Try Setting

HasDrilldownTabs="False"

Example

VB

<CR:CrystalReportViewer ID="CrystalReportViewer1" runat="server" AutoDataBind="true" ReportSourceID="CrystalReportSource1"
                        HasDrilldownTabs="False"/>

Same is working in my case

Thanks
