I have designed a report that makes use of a subreport in the detail section. I have parameters that drive my report that allows the detail section to be turned on or off. My assumption was that if the detail section is invisible or not displayed that all content contained within it would also be invisible.
When I run the report and do not show the detail section even though there is no content showing, the subreport is still causing space to be used and causes white space gaps between my group fields as if it is still trying to show the subreport.
Does anyone know what this issue may be?

Hi Jim Harris,
This behavior is by design - the section and panel item are container items and they would stretch to accommodate their children. However when an item is hidden, the containers are not resized as they are not aware of this change. To achieve this effect you need to set a very small value for the detail section height in the report constructor i.e.:
this.detail.Height = new Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Unit(0.01, UnitType.Inch);

Steve,
Thanks for the quick reply. I attempted to implement your suggestion by setting not only the Height of the detail section itself but also the Subreport component as well and this did not seem to have any better results than before. Is there any other way to somehow get this so that anything referenced in the detail section would follow the same guidelines if the detail section is turned off? This seems to me like it should already allow this.
