Repeat header in print

Question

I can’t release the report I’m using, so I took a generic model on google to help me explain the doubt.

Assuming my report is as follows::

It is mounted via HTML on a system that works with both C# and VB.Net. My intention is on each print page, keep the following header:

This header is an image in the HTML body, by the way, the whole report is done simply with HTML and CSS the database that receives from the database, IE, Crystal Reports is not being used.

How can I proceed to keep this header on each print page?

Answer 1

It is not possible to accomplish this without the help of a tool. HTML Renderer for Pdfsharp is an envelope for the Pdfsharp, and the Pdfsharp has the headboard and footer feature.

If all else fails, you still can use pure Pdfsharp.

Answer 2

Nothing much more than my comment, and with little support from browsers (today works in Firefox and IE (I don’t know if at all)), you could put your content inside a table and add the title (or header) you want to repeat inside the element <thead>, this would cause at the time of printing (in the cited browsers) the headers of repeating to each page. Something similar to this:

<table>    
  <thead>
     <!-- Will print at the top of every page -->
  </thead>    
  <tbody>
     <!-- Page content -->
  </tbody>   
</table>

But as you mentioned there are already other tables on your page, so you could just apply the table style to your elements, something like this:

CSS:

@media print {
    #header {
        display: table-header-group;
    }

    #content {
        display: table-row-group;
    }
}

HTML:

<div id="header">
    Cabeçalhos
</div>
<div id="content">
    ... conteúdo das paginas
</div>
