Extra page issue in rdlc Main report with 2 sub reports

Question

Hi,

     I have set everything which need to be done to avoid extra page issue in rdlc, that is all Margins 0in and Width 8.5in and Height 11 in. And I resolved extra page issue in all rdlcs, but I have struck with one Rdlc which contains 2 subreports. Its giving 2 empty pages, then if I increased its height to 14in, instead of 2 extra pages I am getting only one Empty(extra) Page. Kindly help me to resolve this issue. I am unable to resolve this since morning.

Answer 1

Hi, I got the solution. The only solution to resolve these kind of issues(extra page issues in rdlc) is .... In the report designer, reduce the width of the table and report body. Keep this relation in mind: report body width must be <= (report width - report margins width). Ideally Report widht and height should be 8.5in and 11 In respectively.

Answer 2

Then please suggest me the alternate solution for my problem. Please reply as soon as possible.

Hi Alibasha, 

The problem is every subreport control has an implicit KeepTogether property which tries to keep the content of the subreport together inside the page. This has a problem.

Say your subreport 1 tries to keep everything inside the page, but cannot find the space enough to show everything. It then go ahead and keep this page blank and write everything on a new separate page. This is a known bug in SQL server reporting service. So it is recommended to avoid using subreport inside rdl files to support continuous printing.
