Is there a way to supress empty space area on RDLC report?

visual-studio-2008 rdlc string suppress
Junior Mayhé picture Junior Mayhé · Jan 25, 2010 · Viewed 13.1k times · Source

depending on information, my report RDLC on Visual Studio 2008 has some fields that are printed or not.

I would like to know how could I suppress only this section when there is no data to be printed.

I recall that crystal reports has something like that. But what about a RDLC file?

thank you

You could set an IIF statement on the Visibility property of the control you want to hide. 

=IIF(ROWCOUNT=0, FALSE, TRUE)

That way, the report will not render that control if there is no data. you can even take it a step further, and make another control appear when no data is present, to display a message ("There is no data")
