Page Info

The Page Info control is used to display auxiliary information on report pages, such as date, time, page numbers or user name.

To add a new Page Info control to a report, drag the Page Info item from the Toolbox and drop it onto the required report band.

RDPInfo1

Use the Page Information property to define the kind of information the control displays: page numbers, system date-time, or user name.

RDPInfo2

For examples of different uses of this control, see the corresponding tutorials:

Add Page

Dispolay the User Neme in a report

Display the Current Date and Time in a report

In addition, a format string can be applied to a control's contents. For example, you can change the control's format to Page {0} of {1} using the Text Format String property.

RDPInfo4

When a report contains at least one group, you can specify individual page numbers for report groups by setting the Running Band property to the name of the required group.
