Empty row in DataBand if no detail data available

[tpontow]

Hello,

i have a question regarding to a data band with empty detail data. I'd like to show a single row with empty text fields if there is no data for the data band. I set "Print if Detail Empty" property to True but nothing is shown.

Can you help me with that?

Thanks

Hello,

Can you please send us a sample report with test data which reproduces the issue for analysis.

Thank you.

Hello Aleksey,

i don't understand why you need a sample for a report with an empty data source? But ok, here is one:

I altered one of your Stimulsoft C# BusinessObject report sample projects. Start the project via VisualStudio and then click to preview the IEnumerable report.

The data source is an empty collection. The header property "Print if Empty" and the DataBand property "Print if detail empty" are both set to true. The header is shown but not the DataBand.

The used report file is BusinessObjects_IEnumerable2.mrt.

How can i manage to see one empty row with the designed text controls if the data for the report is empty?

To see the report with some data remove the comments from file BusinessObjects_IEnumerable.cs lines 151 - 187. Then also remove or comment the lines with

Code: Select all

emp.Phones.Add(...)

Thanks

By the way: it is no solution to add one empty data record to the data source because my real report data comes from a database via our project framework. And so i cannot add one dummy data record.

Hello.

The Print if Detail Empty property of the Band works in Master-Detail report in the Master Band and when it is set to True the Master Band will be printed if the Detail Band is empty.
So in your report this property is useless.

We can provide you to use Footer Band with Condition. Please, look at the attached report template.
