I’ve tried by adding your method DisableUnwantedExportFormats() for hiding Export to Excel option. When report loaded first time the excel option not getting visible.

However, When I used to call the same method inside of Drillthrough() event “Excel” & PDF option getting visible in Export controls dropdown. I’ve tried by calling your method in the first statement of my Drillthrough() event,(like what I used in Page load method).

Please let me know, How can I hide the excel option in Drillthrough() event of Reportviewer.

Thanks you all for this wonderful solution. I had the similar issue as Chad. We have Reporting Services 2008, SQL SERVER 2008 R2, so Chad’s solution worked out great for me.
Chad: I have a quick question, what was the change that you made to your web.config (formats to disable).

Comment on Shelving Subversion by Uwe

Seems that als “shelving subversion” Google searches lead to pages that contains explanations like yours.

I was looking for a kind of “daily backup” method into a constant folder.

When trying to “shelve” into an existing folder, this fails because of the fact that the folder already exists.

So I have to find another solutions for this.

I love you! This is what I needed for at least plan B. I am actually trying to check if the report exceeds the 256 column, is that possible? Because I want to disable the export option if it does exceed the column count of 256.

Comment on Startups: Fire Your Dev Teams by Rachel

“The minute you’re successful, plan to rewrite your software from scratch” – I have one word in response to this misguided notion: Netscape. Old code is good code, because it’s been well-tested and debugged, and, most importantly, it’s been well received and taken up by the market place. Just ask the people at Netscape, who made a feature out of re-writing their entire code base, just when they got to a leading market position, then fell further and further behind the competition as their perpetually-delayed ‘new and improved’ browser failed to seize the moment in the way their original offering had done. Successful startups are about being new and innovative, they’re never, ever about re-inventing wheels.
