Microsoft Visual Studio – ASP.Net Error in IE 9 When Using ReportViewer : No Such Interface Supported

While I was debugging in Visual Studio 2010, I come across this error when working with an aspx page that has a report viewer control. This only happens with IE. My report displays, but as soon as I click a parameter drop down that has multiple selections, the debugger throws the following error:

Now this exception in no way prevents my report from running. I am not even sure what the error is all about. If I publish my web site and run it from the domain, I would never know the error was being thrown.

A workaround I found was to place the following javascript into the <head> tags of the aspx page that contains the report viewer control:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> 
     if (window.getComputedStyle != null) 
        { 
          var orginalGetComputedStyle = window.getComputedStyle; 
          window.getComputedStyle = function (element, parm) 
             { 
               try 
                  { 
                     return orginalGetComputedStyle(element, null); 
                  } 
               catch (err) 
                  { 
                     return orginalGetComputedStyle(document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0], null); 
                  } 
             } 
         } 
<script>
