SSRS rendering fails to hide a tablix row based on a custom row visibility function

Aspose.Words Product Family

Hi,



We have a problem in rendering to DOCX with Aspose SSRS rendering. We have a tablix where there is a custom row visibility function, but when exporting to Aspose DOCX, the row is still visible while it should be hidden.



Exporting with the standard reporting services Word does give the expected result.



In attachment you will find the report.



Notice that the following line should be hidden:

‘Alle posten komen in aanmerking voor subsidiëring’.



Can a fix be provided?



Since june 2014 we have also been waiting for a fix for 2 other bugs:

Reporting Service render to docx table hidden rows whitespace

&

Reporting services render to aspose docx gives error 'Cannot find index'



Can an update be provided when a fix might be available for these threads?



thx

Hi,

Can you please provide information about when this bug will be resolved?

Several months have already been passed since this bug was registered.

Converting the rapport to docx is an automated action in our product and our customers still has to make custom changes to the word document the correct the bug.

Thanks

Hi,

After testing the problems seems to be fixed when using the ShrinkSpace configuration element.

However I’m curious as to why we even have to use this configuration element as this is standard behaviour of Reporting Services?

Also I did not find the configuration element in your documentation: Configure|Aspose.Words for Reporting Services
Is this a deprecated link or is the content not updated?

Thanks.

Hi Brecht,

This new configuration element allows to control how to remove spacings between (and inside) report elements. There are several modes of shrinking space. Below is the description of the modes.

  • None. Space shrinking will be disabled and never used. This is default setting.
  • Soft. In this mode space is shrinked around some elements with dynamic height (subreports or/and tables with dynamically hidden rows).
  • Hard. This is the most aggressive shrink spacing mode. Spacings are removed in all places where possible, using following settings:
    • Soft mode is applied
    • PageBreaksMode is set to DontBreakTables
    • IgnoreDesignedRowHeight (see below) is set to True
    • AllowAutoFit (see below) is set to True;

We have not updated the documentation about Shrink Space configuration. We will update the documentation asap.
