Suppress multiple sections at a time?

Question

Hi sap experts,
I now using C# to suppress section with the following code:
                ReportDocument rd = new ReportDocument();
                ISCDReportClientDocument crReportClientDocument = rd.ReportClientDocument;
                CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.SectionFormat crSectionFormat;
                CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.Section crSection;
                rd.Load("E:\\SouthGis\\CASS\\Code\\trunk\\Code\\ShowReport\\ShowReport\\CRReport\\CrystalReport_ALLCR.rpt");
                crSection = crReportClientDocument.ReportDefController.ReportDefinition.ReportFooterArea.Sections[0];
                crSectionFormat = crSection.Format;
                crSectionFormat.EnableSuppress = true;
                crReportClientDocument.ReportDefController.ReportSectionController.SetProperty(crSection, CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.CrReportSectionPropertyEnum.crReportSectionPropertyFormat, crSectionFormat);
But now I have about 14 ReportFooterSections.
Sometimes, I have to suppress 10 or 9 or 11 ReportFooterSections at a time. While using the above code , I have to define many crSections. This may cause may dumplicate code.
Is there a way to accomplish it?
Thanks.

Instead of duplicating the code, I would just iterate through the sections using a For loop.  So it might look something like this:
               ReportDocument rd = new ReportDocument();
                ISCDReportClientDocument crReportClientDocument = rd.ReportClientDocument;
                CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.SectionFormat crSectionFormat;
                CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.Section crSection;
                rd.Load("E:\\SouthGis\\CASS\\Code\\trunk\\Code\\ShowReport\\ShowReport\\CRReport\\CrystalReport_ALLCR.rpt");
               for (int i = 0; i < crReportClientDocument.ReportDefController.ReportDefinition.ReportFooterArea.Sections.Count; i++)
                    if (<whatever criteria determines whether to suppress this section....>
                          crSection = crReportClientDocument.ReportDefController.ReportDefinition.ReportFooterArea.Sections[i];
                          crSectionFormat = crSection.Format;
                          crSectionFormat.EnableSuppress = true;
                crReportClientDocument.ReportDefController.ReportSectionController.SetProperty
                         (crSection, CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.CrReportSectionPropertyEnum.crReportSectionPropertyFormat,
                         crSectionFormat);
