Question

Having some trouble getting this to work… I basically want the report to look similar to:

The way I remember doing this in the past was by creating “page groups” in the report wizard. However, I believe that was in VS05, and now the report wizard is very different in VS10. It now has column groups and row groups but no page groups, and I can’t see how to get this to work without the wizard either. If tried looking for a tutorial or example but haven’t had much luck. Also, the site ‘gotreportviewer.com’ is pretty terrible and has not been much help.

To create the effect of one record per page means you need to set a group element to the report. For instance assume you have a database table called “Login” and you wanted to group by a person’s login name. Here is what you do:

First add a table to the report like so:

The table can be found in the “Toolbox” on the left hand side of VS2010. Once the table is added you will want to add a group to this table:

After this you will want to go to the properties of the group:

Here you simply can set a page break between each instance of a group, in addition, this will give you a “one record per page”.
