Example

This example demonstrates how to use SimpleLink to print data from a non-hierarchical datasource.

To do this, perform the following steps.

Create a DataTemplate for a single detail row and assign it to the SimpleLink.DetailTemplate property;
Set the SimpleLink.DetailCount property to the total count of data rows in a data source;
Handle the SimpleLink.CreateDetail event, and provide data for its CreateAreaEventArgs.Data parameter;
Call the LinkBase.CreateDocument method to generate report pages.
