[RESOLVED] Report does not show integer

Using Microsoft reportviewer in VB.Net a textbox does not show a integer.

I have a textbox in the report header with the following expression :

Code:

---

= "Verkope (k" & CHRW(8467) & ") : "  & first(Fields!Finjaar.Value, "DataSet1") & " finansiële jaar"

---

The report runs without errors but the part

Code:

---

first(Fields!Finjaar.Value, "DataSet1")

---

does not show.

Finjaar has a Integer value in my MySQl database. If I use any other text value instead of Finjaar the expression executes correctly. Clearly an issue with Integer values. But I just cannot figure that out.

Any help would be great.

I feel like an idiot. Probably because I am one.
I am embarrassed to report that my field was empty in my database.
Don't know how I missed such a basic issue.

No need to be.. We all experience the same kind of problems (ignorance) once in a while
