    Bands = {
        new DetailBand() {
            Controls = {
                new XRLabel() {
                    Text = "Simple Report"
                }
            }
        }
    }
};
// Create the report document file in the user's Downloads folder.
report.SaveDocument(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.UserProfile) + @"\Downloads\" + report.Name + ".prnx");
