# Create Sections Programmatically

To create sections in code, instantiate the appropriate object, set its properties, and add it to the __Report__ object's __Items__ collection. The objects you will need to work with are:

* __DetailSection__ - for a detail section
* __GroupHeaderSection__ - for a group header
* __GroupFooterSection__ - for a group footer
* __PageHeaderSection__ - for a page header
* __PageFooterSection__ - for a page footer
* __ReportHeaderSection__ - for a report header
* __ReportFooterSection__ - for a report footer

For example, this code creates a detail section and adds it to the report:

````C#
Telerik.Reporting.DetailSection detail = new Telerik.Reporting.DetailSection();
this.detail.Height = new Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Unit(3.0, Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.UnitType.Inch);
this.detail.Name = "detail";
report.Items.Add((Telerik.Reporting.ReportItemBase)detail);
````
````VB.NET
Dim detail As New Telerik.Reporting.DetailSection()
Me.detail.Height = New Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Unit(3, Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.UnitType.Inch)
Me.detail.Name = "detail";
report.Items.Add(DirectCast(detail, Telerik.Reporting.ReportItemBase))
````
