Display each record in different pages on a textbox in rdlc report

I want to display data-set record in different pages . i am using rdlc reporting in c# win form.
in rdlc design i am using text-box which show only single data.
i want to display all data but in separate separate pages.
actually i am printing multiple cards in bulk , it should be in different pages so i am unable to do.
kindly help me.
I already try page-break in rdlc report but its not working
this.sp_bulkprintTableAdapter.Fill(this.db_ShopDataSet10.sp_bulkprint, date1, date2, Convert.ToInt32(catname));
See the image here to understand what i want. i want to print this type of cards in bulk from database using simple select query. what i am facing problem is textbox is not showing multiple records and each record on different page.

i have done with it by performing following steps
1) add table in rdlc report
2) remove header row and two default columns remaining single row and single column.
3)enlarge the table
4)remove the default textbox in table
5)add rectangle --- add page break here
6) add textboxes. (multiple).
Now each row of my data is printing on different page.
Make sure that your page size is correct.

I found that I could just drop a List (Toolbox: Report Items -> List) component on the page. Stretch it to fill the area you desire and drag fields into appropriate locations. Works great for making individual labels for each data row.

How to generate product receipt in winform application?

I am working on a winform application for the first time and I have a gridview which contains a list of products users have bought.
I have a Print button on click which allows the user to generate a receipt like the one below:
So here I am confused whether I should use "winform default RDLC or Crystal Report" or whether I should generate PDF and then let it print out as receipt, but I am not sure if PDF is a good option for receipt generation or not.
For Crystal Report, I have read that I need to install it and client (who will use this desktop application) had to install Crystal Report and also there is some licensing involve with Crystal Report which I don't want.
Also if I use Crystal Report then I am not sure if it would be possible to generate exactly above receipt (with table formatting) and will it be complicated?
Receipt is bit complicated so is there a better tool or way, or how should I generate receipt I have shown in above image?
Update : Printing paper total size is : 7.50 centimeter and user wants to print all the content in center.
Discount = FinalAmount - MRP;
Customer Name, Mobile No, Bill No, Payment Mode values are entered on the form by user itself.
I am having a Excel file which contains list of products and with each products I have information like ProductId,ProductName,MRP,Tax information like CGST,SGST.
Code to fill gridview from excel file based on Product Id:
using (OleDbConnection cnnxls = new OleDbConnection(strConn))
using (OleDbDataAdapter oda = new OleDbDataAdapter(query, cnnxls))
{
oda.Fill(dtProductList);
DataColumnCollection columns = dtProductList.Columns;
if (!columns.Contains("FinalAmount"))
{
dtProductList.Columns.Add(new DataColumn() { ColumnName = "FinalAmount", DataType = typeof(decimal) });
}
if (!columns.Contains("Quantity"))
{
dtProductList.Columns.Add(new DataColumn() { ColumnName = "Quantity", DataType = typeof(int) });
}
DataRow lastRow = dtProductList.Rows[dtProductList.Rows.Count - 1];
lastRow["FinalAmount"] = Convert.ToDecimal(lastRow["MRP"]);
lastRow["Quantity"] = 1;
}

Generate and print the receipts
You can use any report designer tool like RDLC Reports or Crystal Reports to generate a report. RDLC reports are good enough. You can print the RDLC report with or without showing the print dialog. You can also easily export the RDLC report manually or using the code.
If for any reason you don't want to use a reporting tool, as another option you can consider generating HTML report easily using Run-time T4 templates.
Using an RDLC report, how to show multiple fields in a single cell
You can easily use an expression to show multiple values in a single cell. Also as another option, you can use rows in a single row group and show different fields in a single column.
Example 1 - RDLC - Show multiple fields in a single column using expression
The following steps show you how you can display multiple fields in a single column using expression. I assume you have set up the data source and have ProductName, UnitPrice and Quantity fields. Then, follow these steps:
Drop a Table from toolbox on the report design surface.
In first column, first data row (not the header row), right click and choose ProductName (image)
Select the header of the second column and type UnitPrice/Quantity (image)
In second column, first data row, right click and choose Expression. (image)
In the expression window, enter the desired expression, for example:
= "UnitPrice: " & Fields!UnitPrice.Value.ToString() & System.Environment.NewLine & "Quantitye: " & Fields!Quantity.Value.ToString()
Example 2 - RDLC - Show multiple fields in a single column using row group
The following steps show you how you can display multiple fields in a single column. I assume you have set up the data source and have ProductName, UnitPrice and Quantity fields. Then, follow these steps:
Drop a Table from toolbox on the report design surface.
In first column, first data row (not the header row), right click and choose ProductName (image)
Select the header of the second column and type UnitPrice/Quantity (image)
Right click on row header of the first data row and choose Insert Row → Inside Group - Below (image)
In second column, first data row, right click and choose UnitPrice. (image)
Click on the [UnitPrice], and then press Home and type UnitPrice: (image)
Do the same for Quantity, in the next row in the group.
If you need another row in the group, repeat step 3.
You can setup borders of the cells by selecting them and setting BorderStyle individually for top, left, bottom and right.

A quick and easy way I used before was to generate a html page, and then use the html2pdf library to convert it to a pdf file.
You may also consider this approach since the RDLC reports/Crystal reports may be a overkill for your case.

The RDLC is powerful as well as Crystal reports. You may choose the rdlc which comes close in eliminating licensing costs.
Using RDLC
Data
You need to add datasets Here or data sources to the report which you will manipulate to meet the design and data you want.
Design
On design you just drag and drop controls to your taste. There is a challenge that sometimes what you see on the design may not what be you see on final output so you need to test much.
Printing
You can put a print preview or send directly to a pdf viewer using rdlc. Here is an example.
Conclusion
I think If you have your data generated well on the report, the design and layout won't be much of a problem using both rdlc and crystal reports.
UPDATE
Based on further information provided I have tried to do something that may come close to what you want to achieve.
I have used crystal reports as well as database table to simulate because of time. Otherwise the same can be achieved using rdlc.
The sample table i created
Here is the sample query and results from the database. I have made groups that can be accomodated by the crystal reports. You can do calculated text values using the same to put distinction between the Tax information as well as Transaction Memo.
Here is the final look after tweaking the design. The page layout may also be tweaked with regards to your taste.
Update.
For RDLC I think you need to add datasets for memo data and tax information. Take a look at the below if it comes close. I failed to make a preview there were components I hadn't installed.

for adding 3 columns in one cell
you have two options:
1- Use new line expression
=Fields!MyField1.Value + System.Environment.NewLine + Fields!MyField2.Value
2- Use something like subreport or grouping in rdlc.
the first option seams easier

Report Viewer - Wrap table on same page

I have a very simple report that I have created in Visual Studio 2015 that only contains 2 columns.....The issue that I am having is that when I print this, I have several pages with lots of unused space(The columns aren't that wide), and I would like to cut my page count in half by having my table wrap on the same page.
For example, I currently have something like this.
And I would like to have both columns on one page, like this.

You can set Columns property of your report:
display Property window
click on Report (grey area outside your page)
set Columns property to 2
you can also set ColumnSpacing property to something different from 0
Then simply put your 2-columns Tablix in the Column 1.
Please note that to see the desired output you need to preview/print/export the report; normal view only display one column.

Dynamically adding columns to DataGridView as it gets expanded

I'm working on a MS Office add-in that has a DataGridView with 5 columns. Is it possible to only have as many columns shown as can fit into the sidebar, but then as the user re-sizes the add-in sidebar add more or take away columns as there becomes room for them?

u can use the Resize Event of the Datagridview and Add and Remove (or set visibilty) of all rows that are unwanted.
I guess your columns have a given size and are not sized automatically.
In that case u can:
int columnsToShow = (int)(dataGridView.Size.Width / columnWidth);
now add enough rows to match the wanted number / remove all rows that are too much
or set visibility

How to generate freeform rdlc reports with one page per row

Given a data set containing multiple rows, from within a .NET console application I need to generate a report on a single page for each row, sending those pages directly to the printer.
I am attempting to use Microsoft Report for this by attaching it to a data set and placing TextBoxes where I wish. Generating the report and sending it to the printer are not a problem. Unfortunately, the data only seems to be available in aggregates -- First, Sum, Last, Max, etc. I cannot latch the text box to a bare field.
Some poking around here and other sites seems to address this, but only when the data is presented in a table. One post even said without elaboration, "My mistake was using Text Boxes"
Am I using the wrong tool for what I am attempting to accomplish?

I ran into the same problem and managed to solve it. The solution seems a little convoluted to me so don't quote me on the "right" way to do this, but here is what I did:
Make sure you have a Dataset defined for your report.
Add a "Table" control to the report. This seems to be needed in order to iterate the rows in your Dataset.
Delete the header row and two of the default columns from the table so that you are left with a single row with a single column.
Expand the table to the width of your layout and make it as tall as you will need for your "free form" layout.
By default, there is a TextBox inside the table cell. Right-click the empty table cell and choose "delete" to remove that TextBox.
Drag a "Rectangle" control into the empty table cell. It seems to automatically "dock" to the width/height of the table cell.
Now you should be able to drag the fields from your DataSet (TextBoxes, etc) into the Rectangle to produce the desired layout.
Note that I am in the early stages of using this approach so I'm not sure if I am going to hit any walls... but for a basic report that uses TextBoxes and a page break after each "row" it seems to be working ok.

Or you try to use a list.
In the list you can arange textboxes (and other controls) as you want and they will be filled for each record in the recordset.
This work for me. :-)
