### Description

An instance of the SectionCollection class contains all sections of a document. A document has at least one section. An instance of this class can be obtained with the [TextControl.Sections](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol/textcontrol/sections-property/llms-full.txt) property. The SectionCollection class implements the IEnumerable and the ICollection interfaces.

### Syntax

```csharp
public sealed class SectionCollection : ICollection, IEnumerable
```

```vbnet
Public NotInheritable Class SectionCollection
    Implements ICollection, IEnumerable
```

### Examples

The following example shows how to add a new section and get the actual section number:

```csharp
textControl1.Sections.Add(TXTextControl.SectionBreakKind.BeginAtNewPage);
Console.WriteLine("Section " + textControl1.Sections.GetItem().Number.ToString()
  + " of " + textControl1.Sections.Count.ToString());
```

```vbnet
TextControl1.Sections.Add(TXTextControl.SectionBreakKind.BeginAtNewPage)
Console.WriteLine("Section " + TextControl1.Sections.GetItem().Number.ToString() _
  + " of " + TextControl1.Sections.Count.ToString())
```

The following example works with sections in the current document.

```csharp
SectionCollection sectionCollection = textControl.Sections;
sectionCollection.Add(SectionBreakKind.BeginAtNewPage, -1);
```

```vbnet
Dim sectionCollection As SectionCollection = textControl.Sections
sectionCollection.Add(SectionBreakKind.BeginAtNewPage, -1)
```
