I am testing reporting and seem to be missing something. My report is really about some Object O that exposes a list of data L. I want the report to be of the form
HEADER (O)
REPEATING GROUPED DATA (L)
SUMMARY OF SOME PROPERTIES AND INFORMATION (O)
I am happy with the data from O - its a dynamic page title - being used in the page header, but I want to create some kind of final "section" in the report which is not a report footer. Its just a couple of lines of extra information. Everything else works fine.
Is this possible? I cannot find any samples in this style but it seems a "summary" section at the end but not on its own page seems to be pretty much a fundamental.
Thanks for any information.
Sorry to bump my own post, but I was hoping for a reply so I can move forward with my reporting solutions analysis.
To be clear again I am wondering if this reporting tool can display data from an object (which I can wrap in a list object if required) somewhere at the end of a report without it being in either the report footer or in the repeating data section.
Hi
I apologize for the delay answering.
Could you help us understand why the report footer does not work for you?
Thanks
No problems - thanks for responding.
The report footer would be fine if I could make it not appear on its own page.
The summary section is just one or two lines long and it just looks really weird on its own page especially if the page before it is not completely filled by the dataset.
Hi Jonrico...,
You can use ReportHeader.InsertPageBreakAfter and/or ReportFooter.InserPageBreakBefore properties.
By default, theses properties are set to true (so, sections are rendered in separated pages), but you can set to false (in properties window), to avoid page breaks between Report Header and Content, and/or between Content and Report Footer.
Let me know if this can helps you.

BTW, the previous suggestion only works if you don't have a Page Header and/or Page Footer defined for the report content.
If that's the case, may be you can use a Table Control with multiple table headers and table footers rows. or... Group Header and Group Footer with an "artificial" Group by.
I knew I was missing something obvious!
That will solve the problem. Thanks a lot.
