  Hello,
  
  You can look at the sample project in the Demos\C#\ReportFromCode folder.
  To create an Overlay band, use the following code:
  
  page.Overlay = new OverlayBand();
  page.Overlay.Height = ...;
  page.Overlay.CreateUniqueName();

  Hi,
  
  sorry for my Beginners Questions,
  I have look at the samples, but not readable with VS C#Express is this right?
  
  I can generate a Report with:
  
  FastReport.Report report = new FastReport.Report();
  FastReport.ReportPage page1 = new FastReport.ReportPage();
  page1.Name = "Page1";
  report.Pages.Add(page1);
  
  page1.Overlay = new FastReport.OverlayBand();
  page1.Overlay.Name = "Overlay1";
  page1.Overlay.Height = 10 * 1.5f;
  
  report.Design();
  
  But how to do this by a existing Report?
  
  FastReport.Report report = new FastReport.Report();
  report.Load(@E:\fx1.frx);
  
  report.Pages[0].Overlay= new FastReport.OverlayBand(); ??
  
  report.Design();
  
  Regards, Frank

  I don't have VS Express. The project was created using VS 2005 Professional.
  
  To add an overlay band to the existing report:
  

  FastReport.Report report = new FastReport.Report();
  report.Load(@"E:\fx1.frx");
  
  FastReport.ReportPage page1 = report.Pages[0] as FastReport.ReportPage;
  
  page1.Overlay = new FastReport.OverlayBand();
  page1.Overlay.Name = "Overlay1";
  page1.Overlay.Height = ...;
