Hi,
This is the code which is used for ReportViewer 2008 and i need code for ReportViewer 2010. I don't want to change in the reportserver's RSReportSErver.Config
file because same report server we are using for different projects where in some projects we require pdf and some we do not. Below is the code for reportviwer 2008 where the export button is rendered as a dropdown and in reportviwer 2010, Export button is
redered as div element and all the export options like pdf,word,etc elements are rendered as div elements . So in code behind how can i access these export button options?
   private void CustomizeReportViewer(System.Web.UI.Control reportControl)
            foreach (System.Web.UI.Control childControl in reportControl.Controls)
                if (childControl.GetType() == typeof(System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList))
                    System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList ddList = (System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList)childControl;
                    if (ddList.ToolTip.Contains("Export"))
                        ddList.PreRender += new EventHandler(ddList_PreRender);
                if (childControl.GetType() == typeof(System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button))
                    System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button ddList = (System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button)childControl;
                    if (ddList.UniqueID.Contains("ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_rptviewerByBrandBySentimentAttribute_ctl06_ctl04_ctl00_Button"))
                        ddList.PreRender += new EventHandler(ddList_PreRender);
                if (childControl.Controls.Count > 0)
                    CustomizeReportViewer(childControl);
        // This is the event handler added from CustomizeRV 
        // We just check the object type to get what we needed. 
        // Once the dropdownlist is found, we check if it is for the ExportGroup. 
        // Meaning, the "Excel" text should exists. 
        // Then, just traverse the list and disable the "Excel". 
        // When the report is shown, "Excel" will no longer be on the list. 
        // You can also do this to "PDF" or if you want to change the text. 
        void ddList_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
            if (sender.GetType() == typeof(System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList))
                System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList ddList = (System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList)sender;
                System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListItemCollection listItems = ddList.Items;
                if ((listItems != null) && (listItems.Count > 0) && (listItems.FindByText("Excel") != null))
                    foreach (System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListItem list in listItems)
                        if (list.Text.Equals("XML file with report data") || list.Text.Equals("CSV (comma delimited)") || list.Text.Equals("TIFF file") || list.Text.Equals("Word") || list.Text.Contains("PPS"))
                            list.Enabled = false;
