Limitations

The Bold Reports^® WPF Report Viewer has known limitations in RDL specification support, report layout, expressions, SSRS data source credentials, and data visualization items on WPF .NET Core.

Which RDL specifications does the WPF Report Viewer not support?

The WPF Report Viewer control does not support RDL specification for SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005.

Report layout

• In the Tablix cell split layout process of the WPF Report Viewer, the entire cell moves to the next page to display the complete cell items, when the table cell width value exceeds the page width.

Expressions

The WPF Report Viewer does not completely support the object function and VB function.

How do I specify SSRS data source credentials in the WPF Report Viewer?

To connect an SSRS report data source that uses credentials, specify the data source credentials for each report data source in the Bold Reports^® WPF Report Viewer.

The SSRS Report Server does not provide options to get credential information of the report data source deployed on the server. If the report has any data source that uses credentials to connect with the database, specify the data source credentials for each report data source in the WPF Report Viewer to establish the database connection.

Data Visualization Support

The WPF Report Viewer on the WPF .NET Core platform does not support data visualization items such as charts, maps, and gauges. As an alternative, you can use Web View based solutions to render reports containing data visualization components. Refer to the following documentation on how to create the Web View sample to render data visualization components.
