  I have 2 RDL reports that I am trying to merge using the ReportCombiner but the PageHeader & PageFooters are not rendering.

  [code]
  
  var combiner = new ReportCombiner();
  
  var rpt1 = new PageReport();
  
  var rpt2 = new PageReport();

  rpt1.Load(new FileInfo(_webHostEnvironment.ContentRootPath + @“\Reports\Receipt1.rdlx”));
  
  rpt1.Report.DataSources[0].ConnectionProperties.ConnectString = _appSettings.Connection;

  rpt2.Load(new FileInfo(_webHostEnvironment.ContentRootPath + @“\Reports\Receipt2.rdlx”));
  
  rpt2.Report.DataSources[0].ConnectionProperties.ConnectString = _appSettings.Connection;

  combiner.AddReport(rpt1);
  
  combiner.AddReport(rpt2);

  var filename = “Receipt.pdf”;

  var pdfRe = new GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Export.Pdf.Page.PdfRenderingExtension();
  
  var provider = new GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Rendering.IO.FileStreamProvider(new DirectoryInfo(_webHostEnvironment.ContentRootPath + @"\wwwroot\uploads\temp"), filename);

  combiner.BuildReport().Document.Render(pdfRe, provider);
  
  [/code].

  Hi Don,

  Unfortunately, The PageHeader and PageFooter are not rendered when rendering a report using a ReportCombiner or SubReport. This is by design.

  However, we have added a new report type to tackle this issue in the latest ActiveReports 16 version 16.3.1 called ‘RDL-Multi Section Report’ which contains multiple RDL reports each with its own PageHeader/Footer.
  
  You can add all the reports you want to merge in this along with their respective Header/Footer and they will render as expected.

  Please find attached a sample for the same.

  You may download ActiveReports v16.3.1. from here:
