Is it possible to display the group footer on the first page irrespective of the number of records??
Here is my Requirement
-----------------------------
- Look at the Sample.pdf with in the rar file which i have attached. As you see there are around 100 records displayed on the first 3 pages its nothing but the invoice of a single order and then from the 4th page a new order gets displayed with same number of records.
- Now look at the Screenshot(Gate1.gif) taken from the Sample.pdf file(3rd page) included in the attached rar file. I want the group footer to be displayed on the first page irrespective of the number of records, For example as you see in the sample.pdf the first page must display 15 records and then the group footer and on the next page rest of the records must be displayed without the group footer.
- You can even look at the SampleReport application which i have included with in the attached rar file( use vs2005 to open this sample application) .
- As you see with in the pdf(3rd page) the from and to addresses are displayed at the top of the page but i want it to be displayed at extreme bottom of the page. I tried it by placing it with in the page footer but its getting displayed on each and every page even if the number of records are more than 100.
- Now look at the sample.pdf and actual.pdf files included in the attached rar file as you see in sample.pdf there some bar codes displayed with in the SKU column of all the records 2,4,6,8… but where as in the actual.pdf there are no bar codes displayed with in the SKU column since there are no SKU values for those products. The problem is with the spacing i.e as you see there is more spacing with in the grid for the records in actual.pdf file. I want to reduce the space depending on the condition i.e if a product has an SKU then the bar code will be displayed with in grid if not the bar code will not be displayed.
NOTE:- I want the Group footer to be displayed at the extreme bottom of the page just above the page number.

Please provide me the solution as quickly as possible its urgent and also specify whether its possible with dev v6.3 or not. If you think, is there any way to do it with the help of dev latest version we are also ready to upgrade our current version to latest version.

Hello Sunil,
Thanks for providing us with your project files. Here are my comments.
To dock a group footer to the bottom of a page, please set the GroupFooter.PrintAtBottom property to True. If you need it to be displayed on each page, please set the GroupFooter.RepeatEveryPage property to True. Unfortunately, due to the actual page builder mechanism specifics, it's impossible to show a group footer only on the first page when the GroupFooter.RepeatEveryPage property is set to True.
Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience.
As for the barcode issue… It appears that to achieve this result, you need to create two DetailReportBands, and adjust their visibility by handing the BeforePrint event.
Please let me know whether this makes sense.
Thank you,
Alex.
