Dynamicaly Hide Tables

[Frank]

I am now trying to hide hole table dynamicaly but I am having an odd issue

This will not work, none of the table show

var performSubReportTable = performSubReport.Items.Find("table1", true)[0] as Table;
var performSubReportTable2 = performSubReport.Items.Find("table2", true)[0] as Table;

if (show1 == 1)
{
    performSubReportTable2.DataSource = performanceDataSet;
    performSubReportTable.Visible = false;
}
else
{
    performSubReportTable.DataSource = performanceDataSet;
    performSubReportTable2.Visible = false;
}

 

This works for the true but the false the none of the table show

var performSubReportTable = new Table();
if (show1 == 1)
{
    performSubReportTable  = performSubReport.Items.Find("table1", true)[0] as Table;
}
else
{
    performSubReportTable = performSubReport.Items.Find("table2", true)[0] as Table;
}
performSubReportTable.DataSource = performanceDataSet;
performSubReportTable.Visible = true;

 

but this does work

var performSubReportTable = performSubReport.Items.Find("table1", true)[0] as Table;
var performSubReportTable2 = performSubReport.Items.Find("table2", true)[0] as Table;
performSubReportTable.DataSource = performanceDataSet;
performSubReportTable2.DataSource = performanceDataSet;
if (show1 == 1)
    performSubReportTable.Visible = false;
else
    performSubReportTable2.Visible = false;

I would prefer if the second method since it is cleaner, but I am not sure why the first two ways wont work. 

Then big difference is the first and the third I set the tables to be visible on the report.  The second method I set the table visibility to false on the report.

I have found that it will work in the first two examples if I am showing table1 and hiding table2.  The third version works regardless.

Hi Frank,

Please check the data items' Name properties in the Report Explorer and if you are getting the right Table item.

In addition, you can use conditional formatting or a binding to the Table.Visible properties based on a boolean report parameter. The report parameter's value can be updated through the wrapping ReportSource.Parameters collection - Report Sources.
