Hi,
I'm trying to use Web Report Designer tool in my ASP.Net MVC application but I'm getting following error "To be able to run the Report Designer, the client web browser must support HTML5.'
My browser is supports the HTML5 but why it is showing this error?
Thanks,
@Tahir,
It looks like you have missed the last step of our Project Wizard while upgrading your application. I see that the scripts required for our MVC extensions are not registered in your project. Please refer to the Integration into an Existing Project Using Wizards help topic for more information. Take special note that third-party client-side libraries are required for our MVC extensions. We recommend you enable the embedRequiredClientLibraries option in Web.config to make these libraries be registered on your page automatically.
Finally, I found that your "Index.cshtml" view markup is incorrect. That's because its Layout property is set to the null value, and it does not contain the correct HTML page structure.
I have modified your sample project to solve all these errors. You can find it in the attachment.
@Michael,
More likely, the issue you faced is caused by similar reasons. Please check your browser console to see if any client-side errors are thrown on your page with the report designer. If so, make sure that our MVC Report Designer scripts and all the third-party libraries are correctly registered on your web page.
If this does not help, create a separate ticket for the issue and send us a sample project so that we will be able to research it on our side.

Hello,
What browser are you using? Please send us a screenshot of the About dialog. That way, we can verify whether DevExpress Web Report Designer is compatible with the browser you are using. Please also clarify to which DevExpress version you are referring.
I am using Chrome Version 43.0.2357.130 m (64-bit) and DevExpress version is 15.1.
Hi Tahir,
My attempts to replicate the issue you are experiencing have been unsuccessful. I see that you are using the latest Chrome browser version. I have tested the Web Report Designer online demo in the same Chrome browser version, and it appears to work fine on my side (see the attached video). It looks like some other things are involved in this issue, which I have not taken into account. Would you please check how our demo works? If it operates well, provide us with a simple working project that illustrates the issue in action. With a small example project, it is much easier for us to verify that the code that calls ours is valid, and that the way our controls are being used is recommended. This way, we can concentrate our resources on the problematic area:

Your time and cooperation are greatly appreciated.
I am having the same issue with WebDocumentViewer in both Chrome 43.0.2357.132 m (64bit) and IE11 on DevExpress 15.1.
Hi Michael,
Would you please look through my previous comment and check if the Web Report Designer demo is working for you. Is the issue reproducible with that demo?
I created new MVC application in Visual Studio 2012 and then using DevExpress wizard upgrade the project and add the simple Web Report Designer on Home=>Index page and it shows the same issue. Please find attached sample.
The Web Report Designer demo works in both Chrome and IE11, this is not a browser issue. I followed the examples provided for Pivot Grid and Chart reporting (https://demos.devexpress.com/MVCxReportDemos/DataBinding/PivotGridAndChartReport)
This line from the view will render the viewer:
@Html.Partial("PivotGridAndChartViewerPartial", Model)
Using this bit instead throws the HTML5 error:
@Html.DevExpress().WebDocumentViewer(settings => {
settings.Name = "webDocumentViewer";
settings.Height = 770;
}).Bind(Model.Report).GetHtml()
