How to change Rendering Extensions in SQL Server Reporting Services

-

The SQL Server Reporting Services rendering extensions are managed through the configuration file "RSReportServer.config". You can find this configuration file in the "ReportServer" folder. The complete path of the folder is C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS11.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer. Your configuration folder location may be slightly different.

Open the "RSReportServer.config" file in Notepad and search for the node name, you can find all available rendering extensions there. You can refer to the code for the first two rendering extensions "XML" and "NULL".

<Reader>

<Extension Name="XML" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.DataRenderer.XmlDataReport,

Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataRendering"/>

<Extension Name="NULL" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.NULLRenderer.NULLReport,

Microsoft.ReportingServices.NULLRendering" Visible="false"/>

(Note- Be careful when changing the report server configuration file; it is recommended to create a back-up of the RSReportServer.config file before modification.)

If we add an attribute Visible="false" for the "XML" rendering extension, then it should not show in the rendering extension drop down list. Let's add an attribute Visible="false" for the "XML" rendering extension, after the changes the file should look like below.

<Reader>

<Extension Name="XML" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.DataRenderer.XmlDataReport,

Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataRendering" Visible="false"/>

<Extension Name="NULL" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.NULLRenderer.NULLReport,

Microsoft.ReportingServices.NULLRendering" Visible="false"/>
