How do I repeat a rectangle as a header on every page in SSRS - ssrs-2012

I have the following RDL setup: a single rectangle that contains 3 elements (an image, and 2 textboxes). Underneath the rectangle, I have multple tablixes, lets say 3 for now, but this number will increase or decrease dynamically as I am constructing the RDL markup with XML within my .net app. Each tablix will have it's own unique dataset (data and columns differs between the tablixes).
In order to render each tablix on a new page, I went ahead and added a PageBreak:End on each tablix, except the last one. Now, I need the rectangle to be repeated on each page, but how do I do this? I thought that maybe the RepeatWith property could be used, but this only allows a single selected data region. So, the rectangle rendered on page 1 and page 3 (not on page 2).
Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

You could place the rectangle in the report header to repeat on each page:

Overlap Subreports SSRS

I was trying to create one report with several pages doing this:
I've created like 3 reports with different embedded datasets (each report has nothing to do with the others).
I've created a main report where i put the 3 subreports, overlaying them.
In SSRS web view i can change the the pages in order to see each subreport in a different page.
The problem is when i tried to export the report in PDF, there is not a "page break" so the first page contain all the reports overlayed.... this is a big issue....
Is there a way to fix this?
You can enclose sub reports in a rectangle and provide page break properties to the rectangle.
1st sub-report should be within 1st rectangle and as is.
You can also make sure, sub-reports are one-by-one in the design for proper page breaks.

SSRS - Space / Margin between header and tablix in content area on subsequent page

Okay, I know that the question is hard to digest.
So I hope this attached picture will make more sense of my question.
Basically I want to maintain some space between my header and my tablix after first page.
I use bottom border for my header and user don't want to see the table and the header just glued together.
tried to put empty textbox (hidden) but not really working as I can't repeat the textbox on subsequent page.
It looks as though you have a gap between the top of the Report Body section and the top of your tablix - this would lead to an extra gap on the first page, which is not repeated on subsequent pages.
If you move your tablix so that there is no gap between it and the top of the Report Body section, this should resolve the problem.
Mark Bannister's answer is correct. Your pictures incorrectly place space between the header and content - tablix. The header shares a border the content - tablix not the body.
The solution, is to place an empty header in your report and that will create the space between the top of the page and the content - tablix you need.

Push items to bottom of report

I'm trying to create a report with some controls "anchored" to the very end. The difficulty is that I can't add this to the page footer because the report could span multiple pages leaving a giant white space at the end of each report if I decide to toggle visibility. The items I have should only appear on the very last page and be positioned just above the footer.
For example, in this scenario, I need the letter's closing signature, titles, etc. positioned at the very end of the last page the report spans.
As an alternative to adding a sub report you could try the suggestion below.
It all depends on how you data is laid out in your report whether it could work for you.
If all the data required to populate the controls exists in the report dataset why not add an outer lever of grouping that encompasses the entire dataset. You could do this using a dummy column containing 1 for example.
Just add a footer to this group and put your data in the group footer.
You can additional rows as necessary to the group footer.
This footer will always appear as the last row(s) in the tablix

Print SubReport is in next page using IReport 5.5.0

I have use one sub-report in main report with use of jasper Reports. sub-report is print half of is in one page and other half in next page. but i want to print it is in single page. Please help me.
You can set SplitType to equal Prevent in the detail band properties, but that only prevents a band from splitting from page to page, forcing it to begin on the following page of your report. If the output of your sub-report is naturally longer than the page height you have set, then this will just force the sub-report to begin on the following page. I do not think this would be a desirable outcome since in that case the subreport would still populate two separate pages (actually 3 if you include the resulting blank first page).
All that said one solution would be to check off "Ignore Pagination" in your main reports properties. This will ensure that your entire report is viewed as one single page, but this causes problems when printing or PDF'ing.
You are a bit vague in your question, but its also possible that the detail band height is too high. IReport is "pixel perfect" so if the subreport element begins in the middle of the band then that is where it will start. Also if you have title, page header, or column header bands that are not being used, these will result in unwanted white space.
Hope this helps!
There is a property called "isSplitAllowed" in the band tag that should help you.

Repeat element on every page of an RDLC outside of header/footer

In VS2010 I have a report, with a table of data that can cause the report to span multiple pages.
Also on this report I have a rectangle that has some contact information for the company the report is for, that I need it to repeat on every page, to the side of the previous table. However this rectangle is not, and cannot be in the header or footer. Is there a way to make an element of a report repeat on every page?
I'm afraid there isn't. You'll have to mimic this by splitting your report into pieces and forcing page breaks after which you display the header again. You can use the List component to do this and group your data to a fixed row height to break to a next page.
