Finding fields in report builder

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

How to fix problem with text not showing in Preview mode for SSRS 2019 using Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2019?

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.

Visual Studio 2017 design report that prints Original and Duplicate

I'm working on my first MVC project (with Polymer components) and all the printing is done through a Visual Studio 2017 Reporting Services project.
I need to create a report that prints shipment documents in Original, Duplicate and Triplicate format. For example, a shipment document which has 10 pages (a shipment document is a set of header, body and footer), must print the first set of 10 pages as "Original", the second set as "Duplicate" and the third one as "Triplicate".
Could anyone give me some suggestion on how to achieve this?
My first thought is to design all the three "sections" in the same report, but that doesn't seem a "clean" solution. :)

Crystal Report Footer on last page

I have been requested to make a Crystal Reports report using Visual Studio 2010, and the very last page of the report is what should contain some summary data. It is to contain nothing else, just some totals and maybe a chart or two.
How can I add a page to my report that displays that?
Use the report footer section. If desired, insert a page break before the section starts to ensure that it begins on a separate page.

Crystal Reports image loading on runtime

I have some reports with many records. Those records have images. They were coming from a .NET Dataset object.
I was initially making the approach of getting the images' contents into the records using System.Byte[] Columns, but the reports took up too much time to load.
I did time profiling. It is not the dataset construction that takes too much.
I put on the table the hypothesis of the images being slowing the process.
So I tried a different approach: Instead of having pictures directly into the tables, I have filepaths.
Following the practic described in Crystal Reports User Guide, I inserted a OLE object of "Paintbrush Picture Type" and its Image's Graphic Location was ser to a database table field. Additionally I also defined a file hyperlink to be the same field.
I tried, it didn' t show the image. But clicking the hyperlink was OK.
So I added more two OLE object items in the report for testing: the first's Graphic location and hyperlink have the filepath of the first record's image. It is a .jpg file.
I created additionally a .bmp copy of that image and set the second item's filepaths to point to this image.
Tested again, hyperlinks work Ok, but no images shown directly in report .
When I click Preview on Visual Studio 2010 Crystal Reports designer I can see the images, but not in runtime.
So, what am I missing for the images to show?

After some frustrating times, it seems I have found a solution in 3 easy steps:
Uninstall every component of Crystal Reports for VS 2008
Reopen Visual Studio 2010
Clean & Rebuild Solution
If you are using CR as a component, during runtime you will notice that the top bar of the component is different: the icons have different design and at right it will say "SAP CRYSTAL REPORTS"
