  Hello. I need mixed-orientation pages in my section report and I used this workaround: https://www.grapecity.com/blogs/how-to-create-pages-of-mixed-orientation-in-activereports. So essentially I’m appending pages of one report to another.

  Here is the problem. I need to use the numbering of pages, and also print total pages count. I’ve been using such expression: Page {PageNumber} of {PageCount}. It works great when the report is not combined from two reports, but otherwise, it prints incorrect numbers (assuming 1 + 2 pages, it prints 1/1, 1/2, 2/2).

  I can count and number them manually, but it requires run of the both reports just to get the total page count (I assume i can’t get this number until the report is fully processed by .Run()). This is not the brightest idea I think, and I wonder if there are any other possibilities to solve such a problem. We are using AR v10.

  Do you have any thoughts?

  Thanks!

  Hello,

  As you see RunReports() method in the sample attached in the following blog:
  
  https://www.grapecity.com/blogs/how-to-create-pages-of-mixed-orientation-in-activereports

  public void RunReports()
          {
              p_rpt = new SectionReport1();
              l_rpt = new SectionReport2();
              p_rpt.Run();
              l_rpt.Run();
  
              count1 = p_rpt.Document.Pages.Count;
              count2 = l_rpt.Document.Pages.Count;
          }
  

  You have to run the report before merging them. Count1 and Count2 are total page count number of both report.
  
  So, you can add the page number manually in the report using the “DrawText” method:

  Hope it clarifies.

  Thanks,
