The Text property contains the text that will be rendered on the report.

This value may be rendered literally (without any translation) or it may be evaluated as a VBScript expression, depending on the setting of the Calculated property.

The following code creates two fields; one displays the label "Sales Tax" and the other displays the tax value by multiplying a database field ("Sales") by a constant:

Copy CodeVisual Basic

' display literal Text c1r.Field(0).Text = "Sales Tax" c1r.Field(0).Calculated = False ' display a calculated value c1r.Field(1).Text = "Sales * 0.085" c1r.Field(1).Calculated = True

Copy CodeC#

// display literal Text c1r.Field[0].Text = "Sales Tax"; c1r.Field[0].Calculated = false; // display a calculated value c1r.Field[1].Text = "Sales * 0.085"; c1r.Field[1].Calculated = true;
