HeaderFooterCollection headers = textControl.Sections[1].HeadersAndFooters;
headers.Add(HeaderFooterType.Header);
HeaderFooter headerFooter = headers.GetItem(HeaderFooterType.Header);
headerFooter.Selection.Text = "Quarterly report";

int sectionNumber = headerFooter.Section;
if (sectionNumber > 0)
{
    Section section = textControl.Sections[sectionNumber];
    Console.WriteLine($"Page width: {section.Format.PageSize.Width}");
}

Dim headers As HeaderFooterCollection = textControl.Sections(1).HeadersAndFooters
headers.Add(HeaderFooterType.Header)
Dim headerFooter As HeaderFooter = headers.GetItem(HeaderFooterType.Header)
headerFooter.Selection.Text = "Quarterly report"

Dim sectionNumber As Integer = headerFooter.Section
If sectionNumber > 0 Then
    Dim section As Section = textControl.Sections.Item(sectionNumber)

End If
