Visual Studio 2017 design report that prints Original and Duplicate - model-view-controller

I'm working on my first MVC project (with Polymer components) and all the printing is done through a Visual Studio 2017 Reporting Services project.
I need to create a report that prints shipment documents in Original, Duplicate and Triplicate format. For example, a shipment document which has 10 pages (a shipment document is a set of header, body and footer), must print the first set of 10 pages as "Original", the second set as "Duplicate" and the third one as "Triplicate".
Could anyone give me some suggestion on how to achieve this?
My first thought is to design all the three "sections" in the same report, but that doesn't seem a "clean" solution. :)

How to obtain a list of widgets in a windows form

I am trying to automate a help system. I have it set up so you right-click on any widget (Button, etc.) and one of the items is help. Selecting help causes a help file to display (PDF, HTML, or Wiki). Help positions the display to the paragraph that describes the widget. (The document is a hypertext document so the paragraph can contain cross links, etc.)
All of this is working. There is an implementation problem in that it is necessary to input the widget name manually when building the widget list for the help system. The problem is widgets can be renamed during development. New widgets can be added. Old ones deleted, etc. Maintenance becomes a problem.
So my question is, is it possible to obtain a list of widgets by form from a .net application being developed using Visual Studio? I don't mind scraping a set of files to extract the list, but I do need to automate obtaining the list so I can compare with the current list to determine any maintenance necessary to keep the help system in sync with the .net application.
Developer Studio does generate partial classes that do contain the information. Parsing these will be some effort since the parser must understand the format of the class. What would be nice is if Visual Studio had the ability to produce information about the structure of the app being developed.

The information of header and footer section is missing on last few pages of a RDLC report

I am new to the forum. Nice to meet all of you.
I am facing the problem that the header and footer section are missing on last 17 pages of RDLC report. However, the previous 60+ pages of report is worked well.The header and footer section is containing both static and dynamic data.
After I go to find the solution, I found that the operation code of report should be no problem and the only thing that may be problem is the things on layout may cause the error.
I also try to make the report with two export: PDF and EXCEL.I found that only PDF have this problem but EXCEL don't have this kind of problem. However, I cant find the problem to change the layout.
I am using SQL server management studio to manage database, Microsoft Dynamic Nav 2013 to get the data from database ,Visual Studio 2010 to manage layout of report.
Thus, hope you guys could suggest some idea for me as this types of problem don't have any discussion on internet.
After my mind is dropping into hell and try to change setting of the places that may be cause the error in more than 10 hours, I finally found the solution!!!
In my report body content, it has a list1 tablix to contain a rectangle that contains two tables to show the list of transactions.I just change the KeepTogether to "True" in the properties of the two tables, the list1 tablix, and the rectangle.And change the PointBreak to "end" for list1 tablix.
Thus, the report is worked well in PDF export.

pages repeating while creating a report in Visual Studio 2010

Any ideas how to change it?
Or is there any best practice how to style those .rdlc report tempaltes?

Crystal Reports image loading on runtime

I have some reports with many records. Those records have images. They were coming from a .NET Dataset object.
I was initially making the approach of getting the images' contents into the records using System.Byte[] Columns, but the reports took up too much time to load.
I did time profiling. It is not the dataset construction that takes too much.
I put on the table the hypothesis of the images being slowing the process.
So I tried a different approach: Instead of having pictures directly into the tables, I have filepaths.
Following the practic described in Crystal Reports User Guide, I inserted a OLE object of "Paintbrush Picture Type" and its Image's Graphic Location was ser to a database table field. Additionally I also defined a file hyperlink to be the same field.
I tried, it didn' t show the image. But clicking the hyperlink was OK.
So I added more two OLE object items in the report for testing: the first's Graphic location and hyperlink have the filepath of the first record's image. It is a .jpg file.
I created additionally a .bmp copy of that image and set the second item's filepaths to point to this image.
Tested again, hyperlinks work Ok, but no images shown directly in report .
When I click Preview on Visual Studio 2010 Crystal Reports designer I can see the images, but not in runtime.
So, what am I missing for the images to show?
additional info:
VS 2010 premium
.Net framework 4
Windows 7 64 bits
Crystal reports is integrated on Visual Studio
Thanks in advance,

After some frustrating times, it seems I have found a solution in 3 easy steps:
Uninstall every component of Crystal Reports for VS 2008
Reopen Visual Studio 2010
Clean & Rebuild Solution
If you are using CR as a component, during runtime you will notice that the top bar of the component is different: the icons have different design and at right it will say "SAP CRYSTAL REPORTS"

sql server 2008 reporting design layout

I have set up a reporting tool using sql server 2008 R2 with a single report containing 4 datasets on a single page. Each dataset is basically a table and a chart. I would like to have it set up in such a way as to have two datasets on one page of the report and the others on the next page.
Is there anyway to format the layout of a single report or would I have to design a second report and call that from the first somehow and if so how do I do that?
These reports will be later binded to a web application using the reportviewer but not sure if this is possible with visual studio 2010.
Add a page break. You'll maybe need to add an extra rectangle per page to hold the table and chart controls for that page (been some time since I designed a report, sorry)
