public int DetailCount { get; set; }
Public Property DetailCount As Integer
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Int32 |
An integer value specifying how many times the detail area should be generated.

To generate a report, it is necessary to call the LinkBase.CreateDocument method for the SimpleLink object. After that, the SimpleLink.CreateDetail event is raised as many times as specified by the DetailCount property value.
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.

// Create a link and specify a template and detail count for it.
SimpleLink link = new SimpleLink();
link.DetailTemplate = (DataTemplate)Resources["dayNameTemplate"];
link.DetailCount = data.Length;
// Create a document.
link.CreateDetail += new EventHandler<CreateAreaEventArgs>(link_CreateDetail);
// Show a Print Preview window.
PrintHelper.ShowPrintPreviewDialog(this, link);
}
void link_CreateDetail(object sender, CreateAreaEventArgs e) {
e.Data = data[e.DetailIndex];
}
