Setting textbox value programatically

[Martin P]

Before the last release I used to set a textbox value in the footer section programatically with the code below which worked ok, however since the update this doesn't now work??

Private Sub ReportFooterSection1_ItemDataBinding(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ReportFooterSection1.ItemDataBinding
    contractSumFunctionTextBox.Value = Format(membContract, "N0")
End Sub


tried contractSumFunctionTextBox.Value = 24 as a test but still nothing shows

???

I may have answered my own question...

I was using the reportfooter binding as I am actually programatically setting a few textbox values in the footer.

I removed the reportfooter event handler and used textbox individual ones instead and this works...

  Private Sub contractSumFunctionTextBox_ItemDataBinding(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles contractSumFunctionTextBox.ItemDataBinding
    Dim txtPosition As Telerik.Reporting.Processing.TextBox = DirectCast(sender, Telerik.Reporting.Processing.TextBox)
    txtPosition.Value = membContract
  End Sub


still, something must've changed across releases?

Hi Martin P,

You have got it correctly. In the ItemDataBinding and ItemDataBound events you should use the processing item (i.e. the sender cast to the respective type) if you want to change its value. To understand the report life cycle, please read this help topic. And this topic explains how report events work.

Best wishes,
