Verticle line in report (rdlc)

Amit Gupta

I am creating an Invoice in report data (rdlc),

I want to put vertical line between the columns like

Sl | Description | Qty | Rate | Amount

| | | |

My report contains header and footer section also. For vertical line I used line control, it perfectly works on tge first page. But line is not visible on the second page.

I want the line control to be visible in each page.

Kindly suggest how to resolve.Thanks Amit

@Sahoo sir, that's what i had done that.. putting line, only shows to the first page only and not on further pages.

hi
Try to put the line in details section

@Suraj Sir,
That is what the problem is. line control isn't drawn on the next page fully. as you can see the post of Amit Sir post, the second page line is only limited to the data not the full page.

Can you please try and design the basic header, body and footer and try it on the next page, I would be grateful to you. the thing is not working.

If you simply use the table with borders then it will reflect border on each page with item details. Also if you are using line control then there should be full utilization of the page.

For example:

If you are selecting paper size: A4 and report height is 12 inches. In the 12 inches suppose the header is 2 inches and footer is also 2 inches. Then the body of the report and line should be of 12 - (2 + 2 + margin of top and bottom (if any)) inch i.e., it should be of the 8 inches.

So, it will display the line properly even in single or multiple pages when the report item exceeds and goes more than one page.

You can simply check the report size in property window.

Hope you will try this.

However, repeatwith property is even not working with rectange control also. Visual studio team must have to look over this issue.
Moreover, I had also noticed that the row header is also not visible on the next page as I tick the checkbox of repeat row header ... on the table property section. I think I had to put the row header in the header section to get repeated on the further pages.
Well after doing a lot of research I had concluded to use alternate method to acihieve this. I want to share this to have an alternate way. What I tried is :
1. Donot use line control
2. Putting border on the left and right side each column.
3. Fill the remaing table with the blank row to touch the footer section and fill the entire body section.
4.Suppose 1 page takes 17 rows to get fill and if the row is having greater than 17 suppose 20 then (17 - (20-17)) i.e 14 blank rows fill be filled
5. If table is having 5 rows then (17-5) i.e 12 blank rows will be filled.
I had achieved by trying this logic that can't be achieved through line control but I am not satisfying with this.

Here is the screenshot of what the problem is.

Green area is the body section which should contains line (red line is line control), in the first page it is showing correctly but in the 2nd page it is invisible.
I want the red line should be visible in all the pages.
