  i am trying to do a conditional statement in a report that results in a

  chr(0252) or a

  chr(0251) as the result.  a "x" or a checkmark in wingding font.  using telerik latest reporting and VS 2010.  this works in ssrs vs 2008 but not in telerik.  it does not recognizt the CHR()

  An error has occurred while processing TextBox 'textBox87':

  The expression contains undefined function call chr().

   
  how do yuo do this in telerik reporting?  need this asap

  Hi Carla,
  
  There is no built-in function to handle the wingding character and display it. However you can manually do this by opening the expression editor, holding Alt and keying the desired number e.g. Alt + 0251.

  holding alt and keying the number does nothing.  this does not solve my issue.  i have a conditional statement that either has to display the checkmark or the "x"

  Hi Carla,

  What my colleague meant, was to type in the characters in the expression directly, instead of using a function that will create them by their code. Something like:

  =IIF(Fields.Item % 2 = 1,  '✔', '✘')

  See screenshot for result.
  
  Kind regards,
