Get FieldObject Value

[Former Member]

Hello,

I'd like to know how i can get a fieldobject value in a CR with VS 2008 ?

Of course, there is an error fldObject.Value does not exist.

My code sample :

For Each rptobject As ReportObject In cr.ReportDefinition.ReportObjects

Select Case rptobject.Kind.ToString

Case "FieldObject"

Dim fldObject As FieldObject = rptobject

If fldObject.Name.StartsWith("Avance") Then

If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(fldObject.Value) Then

If IsNumeric(fldObject.Value) Then

Dim taux As Int32 = CType(fldObject.DataSource.Name, Int32)

taux = taux / 100

Dim taille As Int32 = fldObject.Width * taux

fldObject.Width = taille

End If

End If

End If

End Select

Next

Thanks per advance

Hi, Eric;

This approach will not work, as you cannot have a field be a different width for each record. As far as the report is concerned, the field has one width, and that would be constant throughout.

What is the actual problem you are trying to solve? As Jon mentioned you can't change the width of a field on a per record basis. Why not just make the width of the field wide enough for all possible data?
