Question

Is is possible to explore the supported rendering extensions for Azure Reporting? I want to supply the user with a list of supported extensions which he/she can choose from. I want that list to be generated, not hard coded (not in a config either).

I found the answer here.

The solution is: Instantiate a new instance of the ReportViewer class, set processing mode to remote and call the ListRenderingExtensions method.

private RenderingExtension[] getSupportedRenderingExtensions()
{
    var reportViewer = new Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportViewer();
    reportViewer.ProcessingMode = ProcessingMode.Remote;
    reportViewer.ServerReport.ReportServerUrl = new Uri(_reportingAgent.ReportingServiceUrl);
    reportViewer.ServerReport.ReportServerCredentials = new ReportServerCredentials("user", "password", "ReportingServiceUrl");

    return reportViewer.ServerReport.ListRenderingExtensions();
 }
