  I am having a Section Report (AR-11) in VB.NET design, which is of size A4. The report contains Page Header, Group Header 1 and 2 and Group Footer1.
  
  I want to have a background image to the report for whole A4 page.
  
  How can implement this? Is there any control similar to CrossSectionBox ?
  
  Please advise.

  Hello,

  You could use the “Watermark” property of Section Report to have the desired result. Please refer to the attached report for implementing the same.

  Thanks.

  Hello,

  You can use the following lines of code to set the image from the resource file.

  
       	Dim sectionReport As New GrapeCity.ActiveReports.SectionReport()
          Dim xtr As New System.Xml.XmlTextReader("..\..\SectionReport1.rpx")
          sectionReport.LoadLayout(xtr)
          xtr.Close()
          sectionReport.Watermark = New Bitmap(My.Resources.myimage)
  	Viewer1.LoadDocument(sectionReport)
  
  

  Hope it helps.

  Thanks.
