Public Property DetailTemplate As DataTemplate

| DataTemplate |
A DataTemplate object.

Use the DetailTemplate property to define a data template for a document’s detail area.
You can customize other document areas via the corresponding properties provided by the TemplatedLink class.
For more information on document areas, see Printing Links.
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.

// ...
string[] data;
private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) {
// Create an array of strings.
data = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.DayNames;
// 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];
}
