IE7 freezes when showing reportviewer

When I add a reportviewer and a blank report to a simple asp.net 2008 page IE7 freezes. It works with firefox, chrome, and other versions of IE. Is there a compatability issue with IE7? Is the reportviewer production ready or is it a buggy tool? Should I rather go with crystal? I have used the reportviewer in winforms without a problem. In fact, I have classes that generate rdl from a table to generate reports on the fly. I would like to use that with web pages, but if it is buggy I do not want to go near it. Here is the asp.net page and the RDL.

I assume this is using MS SQL Reporting Services. Is that correct?

No, I am not using reporting services. I would like to use the report in asp.net and populate it from a .net datatable.

Mike McCracken

Since you ask about Crystal I assume it isn't Crystal. Is the the Data Reporting tool included with VS?

Yes its the data reporting tool included with VS, as you can see in the sample code it is Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms
