Calculated Property (Field)

Specifies whether the Field.Text property should be interpreted as a literal value or as a calculated expression.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Property Calculated As Boolean

public bool Calculated {get; set;}

Remarks

If this property is set to false, the value of the Field.Text property is rendered on the report without any further processing.

If it is set to true, the value of the Field.Text property is evaluated as a VBScript expression and the result of the expression is rendered on the report.

Example

The code below creates two fields. One displays the label "Sales Tax", the other displays the tax value by multiplying a database field ("Sales") by a constant.

// 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;
