Text Property (Field)

In This Topic

Gets or sets the field's text.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Property Text As String

public string Text {get; set;}

Remarks

The Text property contains the text that will be rendered on the report.

This value may be rendered literally (without any translation) or it may be evaluated as a VBScript expression, depending on the setting of the Calculated property.

Example

The code below creates two fields. One displays the label "Sales Tax", the other displays the tax value by multiplying a database field ("Sales") by a constant.

// display literal Text
_c1r.Field[0].Text = "Sales Tax";
_c1r.Field[0].Calculated = false; 
            
// display a calculated value
_c1r.Field[1].Text = "Sales * 0.085";
_c1r.Field[1].Calculated = true;
