Hello,
I'm trying to use the Telerik Reporting and I've created a dataset via visual studio 2008.
I've to use an old set of store procedures that have columns name with spaces and . (I know it's an horror, I tried to ask the DBA for a change but no way).
The problem is that Telerik Reporing doesn't like the . in the column name (I receive an out of boundaries exeption) ... is there a way to escape it?
Thanks

Paolo

Hi Paolo,

If you have such reserved symbols in your field names, you need to surround the name in [ and ] symbols in order to use the field in an expression. For example:

=Fields.[My Column]
=Fields.[My.Column]

Hope this information helps.

Kind regards,
