We are using the Rendering part of aspose for creating docx-files within the SQL-Reporting-Services.
our BIG Problem: sometimes it works, sometimes not. Sometimes parts of the docx-file are deleted after rendering to docx using aspose-dll within the SSRS.
We are starting with a standard report from reporting-Services (see page 4 of the attached PDF).
Report is created. Everything fine. Original-Report is attached (RDL). the result of the report is attached (page 1 in the PDF).
Now we try to create - using the menu action within SSRS a DOC-file - everything fine. see page 2 in the pdf
Now we try to create a DOCX - using aspose - text is deleted partly!!!
we could not find the reason - after a lot of hours of tries. see page 3 in the PDF.
Page 4 is the original Report.
Thanks for your inquiry. It would be great, If you please use select statement as shown below (to populate the data ) in your RDL file and share it with us for investigation purposes.
Please see the following DataSet example with select statement:
<DataSets>
<DataSet Name="DataSet1">
<Query>
<DataSourceName>DataSource1</DataSourceName>
<CommandText>
select 1 as value, ‘label1’ as label
union all
select 2 as value, ‘label2’ as label
union all
select 3 as value, ‘label3’ as label
union all
select 4 as value, ‘label4’ as label
</CommandText>
</Query>
<Fields>
<Field Name="value">
<DataField>value</DataField>
<rd:TypeName>System.Int32</rd:TypeName>
</Field>
<Field Name="label">
<DataField>label</DataField>
<rd:TypeName>System.String</rd:TypeName>
</Field>
</Fields>
</DataSet>
</DataSets>
Thanks. What shall I deliver to you exactly? RDL? Share the Screen?
One more information:
we create reports using sql-statements and fill in some text - for example “basketball”. If we create the report, it works fine, if we then render to doc, it works fine, if we render to DOCX (aspose!) we lose some text - see page 1 (report in SSRS) and 2 (docx).
Now we does not insert “basketball” but “basketbal” - we now lose half of the text as well - but we got cut off on a total other part of the text - see page 3 (report in SSRS) and 4 (docx).
the behavior of the aspose dll is totally unpredictable, it depends sometimes on one single char.
thanks.

Please see the attached image, I have managed to reproduce the highlighted issue. The highlighted text in attached image do not render in output Doc/Docx file. I have logged this issue as WORDSRPT-123 in our issue tracking system. I have linked this forum thread to the same issue and you will be notified via this forum thread once this issue is resolved.
how about Release 3.8.0 with a fix of my problem?
I am totally frustrated about selling an expensive product, troubles after troubles with fundamental problems of the rendering engine of aspose (which took us much time and a customer which was not amused) - and waiting on a fix of that for month?
I am astonished how customers with fundamental product-troubles have been treated…
Please accept our sincere apologies. I agree that we should have handled your issue individually and provided you with an intermediate build sooner. At the moment I am waiting for technical details of the issue from Vadim (the developer responsible for fixing such issues). I also contacted him to make sure that he is able to provide you with an intermediate build shortly; he confirmed that he will likely be able to prepare a special build on Monday.
I will share more details very soon. I am sorry again for this situation.
