There are many bands in Stimulsoft Reports, each with its own unique capabilities. All bands can be categorized into one of two types: standard bands and cross bands.

 

Standard Bands

Standard bands are rendered from top to bottom. They are typically placed directly on a page or can be placed on a panel.

 

Cross Bands

Cross bands are rendered from left to right. They are usually placed on standard bands. There is one special category of band called the Child band, which, although it is a standard band, is commonly used to extend a Data band.
