Gerard's codebase: SSRS subreports inserting pagebreaks.

Gerard's codebase

This is a personal repository of code snippets and information.

Over the years I have generated lots of little sub programs and stored away acres of useful code snippets. The problem is always to locate them.

Even more time wasting is forgetting how to do simple things when you havnt developed in an environment for a few years (or even a few months)

My new years resolution is to start putting them up in a common place as I produce them. (thanks google)

They are handy for me and, with a bit of a clean up and documentation, they might be handy for others if they wander in here.

SSRS subreports inserting pagebreaks.

It can be frustrating when a subreport (or any report item) inserts pagebreaks a and you have to go through and get the KeepTogether and KeepWithGroup properties correct AND correct at the right level.

KeepWithGroup in the parent report is the key property and the key level is at the static row group the sub report is in for the Parent Report.

If you are having pagebreaks inserted a rule of thumb is

Make sure KeepTogether is set to False everywhere it is not explicitly required
KeepWithGroup = After for the report item that is creating the pagebreaks (in this case the sub-report)
