I have a ReportViewer on a web page that is set up to view a specific report. The report has a DocumentName of
= "ReportName-" + Format("{0:yyyy-MM-dd}", Now())
It returns something like ReportName-2008-09-08 when the report is exported. If I do this on the page with the ReportViewer:
Page.Title = ReportViewer1.Report.DocumentName;
the page's title is set to the expression and not the expression after it is evaluated. Is there any way to get the evaluated version of that expression in the page codebehind? Is this a place where I should use a public user-defined function instead? I'm new to playing with the

Hi sypher,
This is not possible. The Report is evaluated and shown after the page has already loaded and the Report.DocumentName property has not been designed for such purposes - basically it just shows a suggested name for the saved document.
Our advice would be to set the Page.Title separately in your web page, as it does not depend in any way of the report datasource and would be evaluated properly by the .NET.

Yeah, I figured as much. Just wanted to make sure. My concern is that I would like to have one page with one ReportViewer that is used for a lot of different reports. When I choose a report, I would like the page title to correspond to the currently chosen report. I just thought it would be easiest to keep those page titles with the reports themselves instead of keeping a separate list.
I'm sure there's a good way to do this. I may just wrap the Telerik Report object and add the functionality I need in the wrapper.

Hi sypher,
Doing that might make you spent more time than just creating a list of all the reports (how much could that number be? >30?) and sync it with the title when changing the shown report.
