var report = StiReport.CreateNewDashboard();
var dashboard = report.Pages[0] as StiDashboard;
...Next, create a new
StiTextElement() object, specify its position, size, set the displayed text, alignment and color:

textElement.Left = 100;
textElement.Top = 100;
textElement.Width = 300;
textElement.Height = 100;
textElement.Text = "Sample Text";
textElement.Border.Side = StiBorderSides.All;
textElement.BackColor = Color.LightGray;
...Finally, add the created text element to the dashboard page and return the finished object:
...
dashboard.Components.Add(textElement);
return report;
