title: Alternative to Report Viewer for SQL Reporting Services
body: <p>We're looking to develop an upgrade to our existing ASP.NET application in MVC3. Our current app is IE only based and the upgrade will be browser neutral, i.e. it must work in IE8+, firefox, chrome and safari.</p>
  
  <p>The main issue we have is that we have a number of reports based on SQL Reporting Services 2008 R2 and we use the Report Viewer 2010 control.</p>
  
  <p>We don't really want to use this going forward because:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>It's buggy (for example, we can't use the SP1 version as renders HTML
  sometimes that breaks our site)</li>
  <li>It's got issues with non IE browsers (e.g. the IterationId missing on
  URL bug)</li>
  <li>It's based on Viewstate</li>
  <li>It's hard to localise some of the rendered output of the control</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I'd really like to replace it with an alternative (even if its viewstate based and we have to hack in a solution with MVC) but I've not been able to find one. Is there an alternative control out there that renders Reporting Services reports? It's the viewer we want to replace, not RS.</p>
