No SubReport printing if its DataTable has no rows.

Hello...
Normally in runtime I am putting data to StiReport using .RegData and DataSet ... but I have to post you example report and data separately as .mrt, data.xml a data.xsd and I have no problem with exporting ... I have problem if I try to open the report in designer, data and xsd I load into report using XmlData connection, relations between tables are configured correctly but relations are not visible in "View Data"... see DataSource in example.

Example is attached, but you have to solve this problem and after rendering you will see report width two Details. First of them has data in both subreports and second one only in one subreport... and I need some feature, which can hide subreport if it has no data.

Hello,

As a way, you can use the HeaderBand component instead of the PageHeader. In this case, if data are empty then the Header will not be shown. Please find attached the modified report.

Thank you.

Hello,
thank you... HeaderBand is partial solution of my problem... but here is one think yet. SubReport Band in main report occupies place of its design height and width event in case of its hidden content....

Hello,

You can set the Dock Style property of Sub reports to Top.

Thank you.

Ok... but container is sorting subreports by name... not in original sequence...

And Top didn't help... try it with more subreports.... and modify data to have first three subreports without data...

There are sub_9text_summary_Page1_summary_s_addline_2 and sub_9text_summary_Page1_summary_s_addline_1 on your sub_9Page1 subreport not on databand. Therefore this subreport has blank area. If you delete this text components or move then on DataBand the report wil be rendered without blank areas.

In Group Header you set sort direction. It is necessary for correct grouping. If you need sorting in another sequence you can set it in DataBand.

Thank you.
