multiple controls in the report

[ott]

Hello,

I need to place multiple Crosstab controls (dynamically) into my Telerik Report.
Should I create new Report for each Crosstab, and then add it as subreport into my "main" report?
or should I just add the Crosstab controls to DetailSection.Items collection?
which way is the best?

thank you.

Hi ott,

The Crosstab item is a separate data region that we call Data Item. The data items display and manipulate data in Telerik Reports. With a data item, you can group, sort, filter, and aggregate data from a single data source, thus each Crosstab is bound to a separate data source and you can safely place them directly in a single report section without the need to create new reports.

Kind regards,

Hi Steve.

Thank you for your answer.
Yes, I understand.
I need to create multiple Crosstabs in the runtime.
These Crosstabs have different columns and data sources, and I need to place each Crosstab on the new page of the report.
Should I calculate the location for each Crosstab?
I didn't find any methods to place a control on new page of the report.

Thank you.

Hi ott,

You can place them in the detail section as long as you do not bind the report itself, otherwise the Crosstabs would be repeated for each record in the report. Page break mechanism in Telerik Reporting works per section only, so if you have two or more Crosstabs that fit in a single page, they would be rendered in it. Subreport items do not guarantee that either when they are placed in a single section. The available options are:

• place the Crosstabs in different report section of an unbound report. Each section should have PageBreak=After.
• Create separate report for each and use the Report Book functionality which guarantees that each report would start on new page.
