Error with Pagebreak= After with Group

[Pawz]

I'm having a fairly serious problem getting the report to break after my group. When I set the group sections PageBreak = After, the report no longer generates! It just sits there for a long time showing the 'generating report', and then finally errors out with the following error:

Telerik.ReportViewer.WinForms.ReportViewerException: The ReportViewer control handle failed to create.
   at Telerik.ReportViewer.WinForms.ReportViewerBase.OnRenderingComplete(RenderingThreadResult result, PostRenderArgs args)
   at Telerik.ReportViewer.WinForms.RenderingThread.OnComplete(RenderingThreadArgs args, RenderingThreadResult result)

   at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.Run(ExecutionContext executionContext, ContextCallback callback, Object state)
   at System.Threading.ThreadHelper.ThreadStart(Object obj)

I thought it might be the report itself that was corrupted or something so I used the wizard to whip up a brand new report using the same data source, but I've still got the same problem.

The report is simply structured:

Group
        Data
        Data
Group
        Data

The grouping section is a single field, with only standard fields in the data, and it works 100% great - IF I don't specify the Pagebreak = After. It even works if I set PageBreak = Before, but then of course I get a blank page at the beginning of the report, which is crap.

To set the data for the report I'm just creating the report, calling the database and returning a generic dataset structured exactly the same as the report dataset, and the setting the report's datasource = to the returned data.

EDIT: I've also just tried setting the datasource in the NeedDataSource event handler, but it still sits there and crashes when I close the report viewer.

How do I get around this / fix this issue?

Hi Pawz,

We must admit that this is a problem in our Reporting product. Unfortunately the fix for it is not as simple as we would like it to be and we still have not found how to address the problem. The issue is logged in our bug tracking system and our developers are aware of its seriousness.
However currently a workaround/fix is not available for which we sincerely apologize. We would do our best to address this for a subsequent version.

Please excuse us for the inconvenience. Your Telerik points have been updated as a token of gratitude.

Hi Pawz,
Using PageBreak = Before on the group footer section might be a workarround.
