EmptyData Band

 

The Empty Data band is used to fill free space on the bottom of a page with additional empty data rows formatted to match the displayed data. This example shows a page without an Empty Data band:

 

 

Adding an Empty Data band to the same page changes the look of the empty part of the page to match the formatting of the rest of the data.

 

Example

Create a new report with borders around the text items on the data band. Then drop an Empty Data band after the Data band. If there is more than oneData band on the page then you should place the Empty Data band after the last Data band, but before any footer bands.

 

Note: To output Footer bands on the bottom of a page set the PrintAtBottom property of each Footer band to true.

 

Then add text objects to the empty band to match those on the Data band. The result should look something like this:

 

 

If you then run the report you will see that the empty space is replaced with formatted empty data rows:

 

 

Note: This band is not working on the Panel and Sub-Report.
