  So, I would like to do a couple of things using this XML bound report and I am having trouble. I think that I am unclear of how to specify a nested bound path datafield.

  For example, to concatenate a string with a root datafield it would go as so:
  
  = "Programmer: " + PROGRAMMER

  But I don’t know how to perform the same action with a nested path such as:

  = "Programmer: " + DEVELOPMENT/PROGRAMMER

  If the bound datafield has nesting the concat doesn’t work. I have tried surrounding the nested field with all the standard bounds characters () {} “” ‘’ and tried various XPATH setting like leading with a / etc.

  Some guidance would be appreciated.

  Thanks.

  You would need to do this in the report’s Script as below:

  public void Detail_Format()
  {
  	TextBox1.Text = ((GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Data.XMLDataSource) rpt.DataSource).Field("/Statistics/Game/ID", false, false).ToString();
  }
