Hi Telerik,

I have a report in A4 paper size (I can't set it bigger because the client only want to print reports in A4 size). In report, I design the report header and page header with the same content because I want it repeated on each page. And the content in thoses sections  (include detail section) is always longer than A4's width so they are stretched to several pages when printed. That behaviour is ok. I suppose it to be this. But the problem here is page header isn't like this. I have no way to show reporting engine to stretch page header to several pages. The page header only shows a part of content and strips the rest.

I would like to ask whehter there is any way to let content in page header span over to several pages like detail section or report section does. I notice that there are two different classes for section: Telerik.Reporting.ReportSection and Telerik.Reporting.PageSection. Does the ReportSection class has ability to stretch its content while PageSection can't ?

The version I'm using is Telerik Reporting 2008 Q1.
Thank.

Hello Duy,

The PageSection is always as wide as a the page width minus the horizontal margins. Оn the other hand the ReportSection width is always aliquot to the page width minus horizontal margins. This rules are natural because the Report spans across pages, rather than pages across a Report.

If you want an additional page header, you can simulate it by adding a new unbound group (without a group expression) and use its Header with PrintOnEveryPage=True

All the best,
