I'm creating a RDLC report using Visual Studio 2013 and I'm using a lot of TextBox containing formulas.
Is there a way to display some different name for this TextBox instend of just <<Expression>> ? This way is not very clear since all the fields seems the same. I see TextBox have a Description field but it doesn't work for me, it only does if I use Placeholders

One of the columns in my Table actually has a value which is picks from a field from dataset and a textbox (for example =Fields!Total.Value/ReportItems!Textbox80.Value). The Total Field comes from a dataset in my report however I am struggling to find the Textbox80 . Is there any way I can search for this Textbox from Report builder UI. I tried seeing in Properties view as well but Could not find a way. I looked at below link also for help but it talks about BIDS which I cant see in Report builder
This seems to be a potential duplicate of How do I find a specific textbox within a SSRS 2008 R2 Report
The answers show that there is no specific way to do this with the report builder UI without selecting each report item and manually checking the properties menu.
The textbox can easily be seen if you are viewing the report in Visual studio (using the properties drop down box at the top of the screen)
The textbox can also be found if you edit the .rdl file in a text editor, which can then allow you to attempt to locate the textbox
I just got the latest versions today for working with SSRS: SSRS 2019, Visual Studio Community 2019 (Version 4.8.03752) with SSRS Templates (Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Designers Version 15.0.1659.0).
I have a textbox with the report title which doesn't show in preview (both in header or body) and a textbox in footer with page counts that doesn't show. In the body I have a Table with a few columns that don't show values but do show the table cells. I noticed that values did show for returned records on first try but not for column headers; however, when I resized one cell, no values were shown at all for anything. Now, no text values show at all in Preview mode.
When I export report to PDF, everything shows (title, body, footer). This also works when I published to the Portal.
Here is what I tried without success:
Changed the font color to all texts to red but text values still don't show.
Deleted the report data files (.data) but text values still don't show.
Open the report file (.rdl) with Report Builder but text values still don't show.
So, it is in the editors (VS and Report Builder) that the problem only exists as rendering (PDF, Word) works and running in Report Portal works.
Thanks.
My issue was resolved by unticking the "Allow height to increase" check box for the text box.

I faced this same issue using the standalone Report Builder application, and I resolved it by placing the textbox inside a rectangle. From then on, it rendered in preview mode as expected. However, I'm not sure how that would affect auto-growth.
I'm creating RDLC reports using the visual studio report designer.
In the Visual Studio Report Designer, when editing a RDLC file, I see that in the expression editor there are several style/formatting properties tied to each field of a dataset, as seen in the screenshot below:
for example: BackgroundColor, FontSize, etc.
My question is... how do I provide values for those properties, so that I can use them in the report?
I'm using a DataTable C# object to provide the data to the report, but how do I set some of those extra properties??
You cannot set these extended field properties but you can read them if they are supported by your data source.
Value and IsMissing properties are defined for all data sources.
Other properties such as Key and ParentUniqueName are supported only by a restricted number of data sources (i.e. SQL Server Analysis Services).
Im trying to create a report template via .rdlc file, but no matter how I style this file in designer I always get as a result printed last page of the document with the content of the second last page.
Any ideas how to change it?
Or is there any best practice how to style those .rdlc report tempaltes?
I have a report created in Crystal (the version that comes with Visual Studio 2005) that contains an IFieldObject that I want to use to display some rich text. I have set the TextFormat of the IFieldObject to crRTFText, however when I run the report the textbox displays all the rtf markup rather than actually displaying the formatted text.
Is there some other settings that need to be changed in order for Crystal to display rich text?
What viewer are you using for your report? The HTML based viewers (WebForm and Java) may not support RTF output.
The ActiveX (definitely!) or WinForm (I think) viewers should support RTF in fields.
Have you tried rich formatting with html instead?
