Call a function into Textbox Report Viewer

[Tajaldeen]

I have a function named NoToTxt converts numbers to words into Arabic language
I pasted it in the Code place of Report Properties then I tried to call it inside a textbox expression using this code

Code.NoToTxt (Fields!Number.Value)

but it didn’t work, I don’t know what exactly went wrong
any help please, I'm using Report Viewer VB 2012

Can you have the function return its results to a string variable and then use that variable for whatever use you may need? Just a thought.

Hi Talajeen,

If this is what you did then I don't think it will work:

What you have to do is to create a Class with your function and then in you textbox expression e.g.

=MyFunctions.NoToTxt(Fields!Number.value)

where MyFunctions is the name of the class and NoToTxt is the name of the function

What does "it didn't work" mean exactly? Error? Nothing? Garbage? Finger fall off?

I realize that it is actually not as straightforward as my example in #3. I'm not sure if the OP will read is - it seems sometimes people post questions and they either don't come back for an answer or "tx" is too much effort.

I'm going to make a tutorial on this and maybe it can help someone in the future. In 6 years I battled hours and days with RDLC reports it feels like I should have 20 years experience 🙂
