Ø the right red line appears because the report exceeds the length of the limit, if that print, will be more than a blank sheet of paper.

1 left margin + right margin + printwidth must is less than the paper width

Four. How to publish a activereports for. NET Assembly

There are two methods of deploying ActiveReports assemblies. Each method depends on your installation method.

If you are copying the project from the development computer to your server, you need to set the ActiveReports reference in the project reference to CopyLocal = True. This activereports DLL will be in the Bin folder in the compilation project.

If you are making an installer for your software, you need to include a actiivereportsdistrib.msm file that will be included in the ActiveReports for. NET installation. For example, the file may be installed in the C:\Program files\data dynamics\activereports for. Net\deployment folder.

There is a third way to implement it, but it is not recommended. Because the method is more complex. You can install each DLL in the GAC by using command-line tools. The format is: ' C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio. Net\frameworksdk\bin>gacutil-i.
