• SQL Server Lack of support for style sheets

  I have a pressing need to deliver reports that are of a reasonable size. Currently Fiddler says that a typical one-page report is approximately 500k bytes. Apparently the culprit is the bloated HTML that RS produces. For example the following is a typical 'style' attribute on a TD element: style="background-color:Transparent;background-repeat:Repeat;padding-left:1pt;padding-top:1pt;padding-right:1pt;padding-bottom:1pt;font-style:Normal;f ...Show All

Courtesy of the backwards compatability of DirectX you should still be able to write/compile applications that use DD7 though. Current wisdom is that you should use D ...Show All
