SSRS Report Server 2008 Preview and Design do not match the published report (WYSIWYG Failure)


The preview of the SSRS report looks great and everything lines up. There are four charts arranged in 2 by 2 and alongside of that on the right is a textbox and a rectangle below it with a table in it. But when I go live, with the RDL file, there is a huge gap between the textbox and the rectangle with the list in it. How do I align it? This must be a problem others have overcome. And this is not the first time I have seen align completely different from preview mode VS the published RDL. Does it have something to do with the fact that it is compiled for a 2008 Report Server? enter image description here

Solution

  • SSRS aligns the objects with enough space automatically but there is a workaround.

    If you put everything inside a rectangle (tables, textboxes, etc...) it will align like you placed it.
