Can Telerik Reporting display/not display (based on code) a "panel" and "remove the white space" where that panel would be?

Can the Telerik Reporting create a report that will, per programming logic remove a "panel" of a report (with this "panel" containing information that is only displayed under certain circumstances):  This "inclusion" or "removal" would be based on c# code that creates logic based on data from the datasource's data value(s)?

Maybe what I refer to as a "panel" is a "sub report"...you can tell me in your lingo...

For example, there might be one section of a report that displays if the person is over age 65.  Otherwise, that section of the report is not displayed (and the vertical white space is closed to 0"--meaning there is no vertical white-space where this report information would have been displayed).

Hi Andy,

Telerik Reporting items/sections behavior is to keep the space they occupy no matter their child items visibility. As a workaround our suggestion is to set the section (detail) height to a very small value in code behind just after the InitializeComponent() is called in the report's constructor. As shown in the following code snippet. This will keep your design time intact and in the same time initially will shrink the report's detail section.

public Report1()
{
    //
    // Required for telerik Reporting designer support
    //
    InitializeComponent();
    this.detail.Height = Unit.Pixel(1);

About conditionally setting the report items visibility our suggestion is to use bindings. The bindings provides link between properties of a report item and expressions. All the best,
Peter
