Telerik Report Table - Fill to pagesize with empty rows

[Bruce]

My table has a datasource that returns a resultset of 0 rows. When the resultset is empty i would like to fill the first page with empty rows

Is there any solution to do this?

Thanks!

Kind Regards

I had to solve same issue - here is what I did:
Calculate manually how many rows fits into empty page space, then calculate how many empty rows need to be added to table to fill page, and finally populate table with empty rows -

private const int TableRowsCount = 21; //You have to calculate how many rows fits into empty page space

 

private void table2_NeedDataSource_1(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

    var rows = ObjectSet.ToList();

    var emptyRows = new List<string>();

    var rowsCount = rows.Count();

    var rowsToBeAdded = 0;

    if (TableRowsCount > rowsCount)

        rowsToBeAdded = TableRowsCount - rowsCount;

    else

        rowsToBeAdded = rowsCount%TableRowsCount;

    for (int i = 0; i < rowsToBeAdded; i++)

    {

        emptyRows.Add(string.Empty);

    }

     

    //Here you can add empty collection to existing object list and bind that to table

    //Or insert into the footer of existing table child table with same column layout


    //as in parent table (you will have to merge cells)
     //and bind empty colection to it - in my case I used this child table

}
