Adding info in exported group header moves everything down

Hi,

I trying out the code above to add another header to a PDF output and am having some problems. I am using VB so I converted the code above to:

    Protected Sub WebGrid1_PrepareExportExecute(ByVal sender A s Object, ByVal e As ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid.PrepareExportExecuteEventArgs) Handles WebGrid1.PrepareExportExecute
        Dim report As ActiveReport3 = e.ReportObject
        Dim lblProject As DataDynamics.ActiveReports.Label = New DataDynamics.ActiveReports.Label()

        lblProject.Text = "Report Custom Header"
        lblProject.Alignment = DataDynamics.ActiveReports.TextAlignment.Center
        report.Sections("PageHeader").Controls.Add(lblProject)
    End Sub

The problem I am seeing is an design time error on the e.ReportObject. The error is shown in attach file: It essence it says I need a reference to the ISNet.ActiveReports.Exporting assembly. I have it referenced in my web.config. I also added Imports DataDynamics.ActiveReports in my code behind.

What else needs to be done for VB?

Using this snippet to modify the PageHeader section of a PDF report, I have no spacing issue

protected void WebGrid1_PrepareExportExecute(object sender, PrepareExportExecuteEventArgs e)
{
    ActiveReport3 report = e.ReportObject;
    DataDynamics.ActiveReports.Label lblProject = new DataDynamics.ActiveReports.Label();
    lblProject.Text = "Report Custom Header";
    lblProject.Alignment = TextAlignment.Left;
    report.Sections["PageHeader"].Controls.Add(lblProject);
}

I add some labels in the exported group header with this code in PrepareExportExecute:

report.Sections("PageHeader").Controls.Add(lblProject)

When doing this all the original text and data in the report is moved downwards so there is a lot of empty space at the top of the report. Is there a way to solve this?
