Vertical Detail Band

Description

The Vertical Detail band is a vertical band that displays recurring content from the report's data source. The Vertical Detail band replaces the default Detail band; it becomes the main band and cannot be deleted. If the Vertical Detail band contains data-bound controls, the band is repeated as many times as there are records in the data source. When the Data Member property is not specified or is specified incorrectly, the band will display the first data source record as many times as there are records in total.
