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.

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
I have a crystal report in which i want to show some columns in the form of table rows.
no. of rows in display table that is actually the columns in database table depends on registration date. anyone here to help me out how to do that.. so far have done this.. Sample Report is attached ..
i just want to that all the empty rows should not be displayed on the report
I create a report with crystal report in my c# project. that have 5 pages. i add this pages in detail section. I want to show a table that bound from data table at the end of the last page(page 5).
but my datatable in report show only first row of my datatable
I add first pages in report header section. and important things was that I didn 't use group name field. when i use group name. my table show every rows of data table
does the report work in design mode?
if so
and if you use more than one table in report you may have linked the tables in the report. unlink them when reporting in ADO.net
I have a service that returns a json concatinated string. I want that binded to the rdlc reportviewer to generate report.
In that concatinated string, I have 5 strings that will compose of dynamic data which we cannot estimate how many records it will contain coming from 5 different tables.
These 5 should be binded to 5 tables on report. The last string is composed of constant values that have to be binded to the table or textboxes as a parameter.
There is no option to dynamically add the items to RDLC report. You can create data set from the concatinated string and set that dataset as datasource for RDLC report. In RDLC report you can add 5 different tables or matrix to show up these data.
You said, for fifth table you need to show it in textbox. It is not possible to show in text box. you have to use table or matrix for that.
Or else, RDLC report is just a XML structure. Your need to create your own RDLC report based on the input data dynamically. You can find RDLC specification here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd297486%28SQL.100%29.aspx
