Hi Ramon,
At present you cannot bind items in the ReportHeader or ReportFooter sections to data fields. We plan to implement this functionality in version 2 of Telerik Reporting which is due next year.

Hello Ramon,
In your master report it is not possible to bind data in header section controls, but in upcoming SP1 this is fixed. In the current you can have a subreport in the header section - feel free to try it.
The service pack is due this week and we will have an official announcement in the Announcements Forum once it is live. If you are not subscribed to the Announcements RSS already, please use this link: http://www.telerik.com/support/rss/b254P-b-b254A-bga.aspx

Has this been addressed in vs 1.5?
If I can't databind to a field in the page or report header, could I bind to a parameter?
Both SQL Reporting Service and Xtrareports have this limitation but can be addressed by binding to a report parameter. Is the same possible here? If yes, do you have any examples?

Hi Michael Kober,
There is no problem to use databound report items in all sections. The only place where this doesn't work is the PageHeader/Footer section.
This is not a limitation of the reporting engine, however. The header/footers are page attributes (i.e. rendering items) and do not relate to report data.
Of course, you can use report parameters to bind data to the report items placed in the PageHeader/Footer, but you should know exactly how the report is processed. During the processing stage of the report all parameter values are evaluated before data binding, and those are not being bound to the data by the reporting engine itself.
To relate parameter to data you can programmatically instantiate the report, set the report parameter value to what you want, and then show it. You can learn more on parameters in the provided documentation.
Kind regards,

Hi everyone,
I had the same problem when trying to bind on header textboxes. The solution I found was to create a class within the report project to hold all the data I want it in the headers as static fields. Latter in the constructor of the report I just assign each static field with its corresponding textbox.
I hope this could help.
