I have a report with three subreports all in the detail section. I want this report to always fit on one page in both the report viewer and the printed report, sort of like the Excel "Fit to page" option. Is there a way to do that?
We're using VS 2008, C#, Q1 2010 build. We've got a WinForm application with a form that contains the ReportViewer control. We instantiate the form and pass it an instance of an IReportDocument. We have KeepTogether set to true on all three subreports but that doesn't prevent the third subreport from getting pushed to a second page.

Hello Roy Zolnoski,
When you display a report in the Windows forms viewer, it uses the Image rendering extension to show the report. As explained in the Design Considerations for Image Rendering help article, it is page oriented format and it is normal for the report to be paged. If a report exceeds the settings specified in the PageSettings properties, it would be paged automatically and this cannot be changed.stopped.
The output of a reports rendered in different formats differs because medias are quite different. For example HTML/Excel is dedicated to displaying information on screen and the page is infinite by width and height; in contrast PDF supports physical pages and is meant not only for reading on screen but for printing.
According to whether the format supports physical pages, we separate the export formats on two groups: page-oriented (PDF, Image (print preview), print, XPS, RTF) and non-page oriented (HTML/MHTML, Excel, CSV).
For the page-oriented formats the content layout is on horizontal and vertical pages according the the page settings of the report, while for the rest of the formats take into considerations other characteristics of the media like the grid of the Excel worksheet.
By default KeepTogether property is true for all report items and sections. So if a report can fit on a single page it would always try to do so.
All the best,
