I have an ASP.NET web form that uses a report viewer control, which generates the messagehidden (display:none) in HTML, below:
<span id="ReportViewer1_ReportViewer"><div id="ReportViewer1" InteractiveDeviceInfos="(Collection)" onclick="if ($get('ReportViewer1_ctl04') != null && $get('ReportViewer1_ctl04').control != null) $get('ReportViewer1_ctl04').control.HideActiveDropDown();" onactivate="if ($get('ReportViewer1_ctl04') != null && $get('ReportViewer1_ctl04').control != null) $get('ReportViewer1_ctl04').control.HideActiveDropDown();" style="height:400px;width:400px;"><div id="ReportViewer1_HttpHandlerMissingErrorMessage" style="border-color:Red;border-width:2px;border-style:Solid;padding:10px;display:none;overflow:auto;font-size:.85em;"><h2> Report Viewer Configuration Error</h2><p>The Report Viewer Web Control HTTP Handler has not been registered in the application's web.config file. Add <add verb="*" path="Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd" type = "Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.HttpHandler, Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" /> to the system.web/httpHandlers section of the web.config file, or add <add name="ReportViewerWebControlHandler" preCondition="integratedMode" verb="*" path="Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd" type="Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.HttpHandler, Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" /> to the system.webServer/handlers section for Internet Information Services 7 or later.</p>< /div>
Which renders like below (please note that it is originally hidden in HTML (display:none)):
Report Viewer Configuration Error
The Report Viewer Web Control HTTP Handler has not been registered in the application's web.config file. Add <add verb="*" path="Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd" type = "Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.HttpHandler, Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" /> to the system.web/httpHandlers section of the web.config file, or add <add name="ReportViewerWebControlHandler" preCondition="integratedMode" verb="*" path="Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd" type="Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.HttpHandler, Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" /> to the system.webServer/handlers section for Internet Information Services 7 or later.
The webconfig has already used below:
<configuration> <appSettings> <add key="ReportViewerServerConnection" value="WebForm.Lab.ReportConnection, WebForm" /> </appSettings> <system.web> <httpHandlers> <add path="Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd" verb="*" type="Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.HttpHandler, Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" validate="false" /> </httpHandlers> </system.web> <system.webServer> <handlers> <add name="ReportViewerWebControlHandler" preCondition="integratedMode" verb="*" path="Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd" type="Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.HttpHandler, Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" /> </handlers> </system.webServer></configuration>
Is this by design or an error? How to fix it if it is an error
