Cross Section Controls

In section reports, you can use the CrossSectionLine and CrossSectionBox report controls to display a frame, borders, and vertical lines that run from a header section through its related footer section, spanning all details that come between. You can specify line appearance using properties on the report controls, and even round the corners of the CrossSectionBox. 

You can only place the cross section controls in header sections in the designer. They automatically span intervening sections to end in the related footer section. (You can also place them in footer sections, but they automatically associate themselves with the related header section in the Report Explorer.)

Caution: The CrossSectionBox and CrossSectionLine controls do not render properly in multi-column reports, that is, those in which a GroupHeader section has the ColumnLayout property set to True.
