Hi friends,
I not understand in what order the sections are performed.
Page Header/Footer, I think, seems to be a section that it repeats in every page at begin and at end but after ReportHeader and before ReportFooter.
Report Header/Footer, I think, seems to be a section that is procesed only once and rendered at first of all report and at end of it, but before page header of first page and after page footer of last page.
Well, if you create a simple report with all four sections, the result is:
The first section printed in first page is PageHeader (bad I think)
Second section is ReportHeader. (bad I think)
Third section is detail section
Fourth is ReportFooter (bad I think)
and finnally, Fifth is Page Footer. (bad I think)
I don't know but I think that Report sections definition are inverted or the order of printing them was erroneus.
Also in report designer appears to be in erroneus order too.
If you can clarify this...
Thanks a lot for your time
Sincerely
David Tomás.

Hello David,
For a detailed description of Telerik Reporting Sections please read the Understanding Report Sections topic from the documentation.
Compared to other reporting engines such as Microsoft Access Telerik Reporting page and report sections are swapped and there is a good reason for this. The page sections are appropriate only for those formats that support paging. For example the CSV format does not support paging and the page sections are omitted. Moreover each rendering engine is responsible for paging the report according to the specifics of the given format.
So in general the page sections are not part of the report, and we consider their position on the top and bottom of the report design surface as the most reasonable one.
Kind regards,

Well I was reading the information provided, and I think that I begin to understand the phylosophy behind this.
Before Telerik Reporting, I was using and today currently use ActiveReports from DataDynamics and his concept about report and page sections is diferent. Not better, only different.
If I understand correctly the information provided, to repeat the concept of activereports sections (I have many reports with activereports and I haven't version 3 so can't use the telerik upgrade asistant), with tlerik reporting I only need to create a main header report that contain report header and report footer sections and a subreport in detail section that contains the page header and footer, the groups and details section of the real report.
Oh, I'm reading last paragraph and seems some complicated words :P
Well I'll try it and then i'll tell you the results.
Thanks for your rapid response.
