Since i haven't find a way to merge colunms cells in rdlc, I've tried to concatenate 2 tablixes horizontaly- one is "standard" table, and the other is one field (those were my needs).
Running my sp on my rdlc, it works fine where there is one record to display.
However, when the result is multiple records, and I'm saving results in .pdf file, the 2 tables are not "synchronized" together any more - the gaps between results of each records are different.
I've tried to surrender the tablixes in rectangle and define a page break after rectangle - table still not synchronized...
Please advice..... ☺
Combine your two tablix into one. You can create the appearance of having two by putting an empty column between the two "sides" with no borders on top or bottom of the cells. It will look like two tables side by side, even though it is one table, and the rows will be forced to line up horizontally.
Another possibility for you is to have a sub-report. Create a simple report of just the tablix of the second table in question of the field(s) you want to include.
Then edit your primary report to include the sub-report. I cant direct in detail now how to link-up the sub reports and parameter link them, but suggest some reading up on it. So Each detail row in the parent report would be a group by (its PKID for example), then add the sub-report to it. This way as many rows at the sub-level go if 1 or more...

We need to print and send letters to correspondents. We're generating PDFs using:
Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.LocalReport
Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportDataSource.
Each row in the data source contains a name and an address.
Our Requirement:
If there are three rows in the dataset, we want a single PDF generated with three of the same letters (but different names & addresses).
Is this fairly doable with Microsoft Reporting? What's the best approach?
I see where DataSources are valuable for creating tables within a report, but what about an entire page generated for each row?
We found a solution:
Add a table to the form.
Remove ALL but one row and one column, no header
Add the appropriate dataset
Drag recipient info (name, address) to text boxes on the form.
Fill in the rest of the contents of the letter
Set proper break points on the outer rectangle
Doing this created three "letters", one to each recipient, and with the same content.
These three letters are now inside one PDF, which is what we needed

What is the best way to insert data using add button, i have to use for each loop for insertion for above text boxes and drop-down to insertion one row then another row insertion.
If you are manually putting a bunch of controls onto a page, and not databinding them to anything, creating six manual insert statements is pretty much the only option as far as I know.
As one commenter said above, a gridview might be easier, but honestly if the point is solely just to add and not to also display/update (which is what gridviews are best at) I'm not sure how much that would gain you. If the requirement is specifically and only to add six new rows at a time, you're probably doing the easiest thing.
If you ultimately want more functionality than just add records, you may want to take a look at gridview though.
I'm using rdlc files to generate pdf files.
What I basically want to do to is to display the data of my data set on two "synchronized" tables.
The image below represents the result I would like to obtain:
The image represents one page of the pdf, on which the data is group by a certain attribute of the dataset.
Please tell me if any clarification is needed, it's hard for me to explain clearly.
How can i do that with 2 tables as a single object?
I managed to do this with a Tablix as the container. Add two lines of header and add another two Tablix to each cell of header with data. You cannot use Data row, you have to remove it. You can add a Tablix to a cell with drag and drop.
In the end, you will have something like :
Probably something alike can be achieved with subreports, but I'm not familiar with them.
EDIT:
Added screenshot
I believe this is what you want to see. 1 column, 3 rows Tablix. In Cells(1,1) and (3,1) you have other Tablix objects that you can customize.
I've had a Google but I find no answer. You know how say in MS Word, when you insert a table, you can merge the columns of one single row to create a column-less row? Or have say a main header and then more columns inside it? Like so:
Merged Row:
|Column 1|Column 2|Column 3|
|Value|Value|Value|
|Merged Row|
|Value|Value|Value|
God the text formatting is awful on this web-site...and the Header Column example:
|Main Header||Another Main Header|
|Column 1|Column2||Column1|Column2|
I'm trying to achieve this in a written DataTable in C# which is being populated by an array. But I'm interested in changing its structure as one of the above, whichever is possible/easier.
So I've created my DataTable and added normal columns and rows etc. But I'd like to create either a merged row or a main header to display. Instead of having a repeated value in a single column for the values I am getting.
Can someone please provide a quick example on how I could achieve either one of those? Because repeated value will just look ugly.
Cheers.
You're talking about displaying data in a particular way but a
DataTable has nothing to do with display. It is for storage and that's
that. How you display the data is up to you. The same data can be
displayed in innumerable different ways. In a WinForms app, one of the
most common ways to display the contents of a DataTable is with a
DataGridView. You can choose which columns to display and merge cells
in that grid if desired. In short, you're looking in the wrong place
to do what you want to do. It is a presentation issue, not a data
issue. –

I'm using MigraDoc to generate some PDFs. I have code to create a table of text for each element in an array and am printing out pages with these tables.
However, the requirements I am being given is that if I have 2 tables, and the 2nd table would not fit on the page due to the length of the first table, I need the 2nd table to start the next page. I then need to repeat this for each table I am adding to my document.
How would I go about doing this?
If all tables are small enough to fit a single page, then there is a simple solution: set the KeepWith property of the first row to row count minus one to keep the whole table on one page.
If tables do not always fit a single page: you could try a hack, e.g. setting KeepWith to 6 or 8 or 10 (depends on the height of your table rows). If the value is close to what fits on a single page (without going over), tables will start on a new page automatically.
Obviously this will work very good if table rows have a constant height; if tables rows have varying heights, this will not work reliably, but will still prevent tables that will only have one or two rows on the first page (this is not your requirement, but maybe the requirement can be discussed?).
The clean (but complicated) way to fulfill your requirements: get access to the internal GetRenderInfoFromPage method. You will have to start an incremental process:
1) render the document;
2) if you find a split table, insert a page break before that table and repeat from 1.
