  In AR6 we are doing the following:

  Dim ARsec As DataDynamics.ActiveReports.Section

          For Each ARsec In myRpt.Sections
              If ARsec.Type = DataDynamics.ActiveReports.SectionType.PageHeader Then
                  ' this is the page header, so it needs to get this information into cells
                  For Each ctrl In ARsec.Controls
                      hadd = False
                      If TypeOf ctrl Is DataDynamics.ActiveReports.TextBox Then
                          txtbox = CType(ctrl, DataDynamics.ActiveReports.TextBox)
  

  i can’t figure out exactly what types to use in AR11.

  Hi,

  Instead of DataDynamics, we now use GrapeCity.ActiveReports.SectionReportModel namespace for sections and controls in SectionReport.
  
  You need to check the type of the required section and when it is found, you can access the controls in that section and do the required operation.
  
  Code snippet for the accessing Page Header section is:

   Private Sub Report_ReportStart(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.ReportStart
          Dim d As GrapeCity.ActiveReports.SectionReportModel.PageHeader
          d = Me.PageHeader
          Dim type1 As Type = d.GetType
          Dim type2 As Type = GetType(GrapeCity.ActiveReports.SectionReportModel.PageHeader)
          If (type1.Equals(type2)) Then
              For Each ctrl In d.Controls
                  If (TypeOf ctrl Is GrapeCity.ActiveReports.SectionReportModel.TextBox) Then
                      CType(ctrl, GrapeCity.ActiveReports.SectionReportModel.TextBox).Text = "This is the PageHeader section of Section Report"
                  End If
  
              Next
          End If
      End Sub
  

  A sample report has been attached for your reference.

  Best Regards.
