Is it possible to change a ReportParameter within the NeedsDataSource event so that it can be used as a global variable.
I'm maintaining some stupid code and it has the same ugly check on the majority of the TableGroup Filters and what I would like to do is simply set a ReportParamerter at runtime so that value can be reused in an Expression or passed to UserFunctions.
/* Ugly and long check here */
becomes
= Parameters.ShowLeftCol.Value = =True
I can update the ReportParameter value, but the instance of it within the rendering engine is not updated. Any suggestions
The logic to show the Column resides in configuration data within a different datasource then the one bound to the table.
Any ideas or suggestions would be most appreciative.
Thanks

Hello,

Our suggestion is to add a public method or property. Generally you can access report properties or methods in expression as shown in the following example:
= ReportItem.Report.ItemDefinition.MyFunction(args)
