The Page Break control is used to insert a page delimiter. It can be placed at any point within a report.
This control is visually represented by a short line, attached to the left side of the Design Panel, as shown in the image below:

The Page Break control is useful when a user needs to insert a page break between controls within a band, for example to divide subreports, so that the second subreport starts printing on a new page.
When a user needs a page break before or after printing a certain band, instead of using the Page Break control, its Page Break property may be set to Before the Band or After the Band.
In the Property Grid, the Page Break control's properties are divided into the following groups:
