### Description

Gets or sets a value specifying whether the header or footer is connected with the header or footer of the previous section. If headers or footers are connected, they have always the same contents.

### Syntax

```csharp
public bool ConnectedToPrevious { get; set; }
```

```vbnet
Public Property ConnectedToPrevious As Boolean
```

### Examples

The following example creates a second section and gives it a header that is independent of the preceding section.

```csharp
textControl.Sections.Add(SectionBreakKind.BeginAtNewPage, -1);
Section secondSection = textControl.Sections[2];
secondSection.HeadersAndFooters.Add(HeaderFooterType.Header);

HeaderFooter header =
    secondSection.HeadersAndFooters.GetItem(HeaderFooterType.Header);
header.ConnectedToPrevious = false;
```

```vbnet
textControl.Sections.Add(SectionBreakKind.BeginAtNewPage, -1)
Dim secondSection As Section = textControl.Sections(2)
secondSection.HeadersAndFooters.Add(HeaderFooterType.Header)

Dim header As HeaderFooter =
    secondSection.HeadersAndFooters.GetItem(HeaderFooterType.Header)
header.ConnectedToPrevious = False
```
