Reset page number

[Kevin]

Hello,

Here is my problem. I have to do a report who displays delivery order.
This delivery order is on multiple pages.

For each page, i should display something like this :

Page 1 of 2
Page 2 of 2
Page 1 of 1
Page 1 of 3
Page 2 of 3
...

My question is, how could i do to obtain this result ?

Resetting the PageNumber ?
How can i know at runtime the total page number of my delivery order ?

Thanks a lot.

Hi Kevin,

There are two approaches you can take:

• filter your delivery order data and generate separate report for each order. Then use the Report Book functionality to "join" the reports as a single document. The PageNumberingStyle enumeration allows you to reset the page number and page count, see Report Book Paging for more info.
• group your data by delivery order and reset the page number per group. For more info refer to Reset PageNumber per Report Group blog post. Note that you would not be able to reset PageCount in this case.

Thanks for your answer Steve, I'll choose the Report Book functionality  ;)
 
After reading the documentation, i understand the principle of this functionality.
But I don't understand how to put it in place in my solution.

Should I create a new class and extend it ?

Hello Kevin,

Creating a new class that inherits from Telerik.Reporting.ReportBook seems like the most feasible way to go about it.

Hi Steve,

 Can you share a sample project using Report Book. I am facing trouble to use in the project.

Hello siva sha,

A Report Book sample is available in the Telerik Reporting installation folder e.g.:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\Reporting Q1 2016\Examples\CSharp\ReportLibrary\ReportBook

Also, you can check the Reset PageNumber per Report Group blog post which provides a different way to approach the scenario.
