Error on Report Layout Creation not possible to edit in VS

sharad

Hi Experts,

I have Created a Report in Classic in which i have used a char field to show check mark.It is running SuccessFully
in Classic. But When I try to make it for RTC using Create Layout Suggesion it shows error "It is not Possible to edit the Layout with Visual Studio.Detailed Description: Char". and doesn't create layout in Visual Studio.

Please Help to solve or give a way to show check mark in RDLC Report.


THANKS IN ADVANCE. ](*,)

Not sure that it will work but you could try to use the ASCII code of Square Root:

Value Property of the fields where you want to put a check mark
=Chr(Square Root Id)

Troubles_In_Paradise

Obviously another idea could be to use an image, but it will make the report heavy if you should print check mark many times.

what is the DataSetFieldName for this field? Usually it is auto-generated and might be invalid if it contain only the character.

Hi
Same Problem after typing it manualy. After typing manualy when i apply Create Layout Suggestion the same error Shows.

But when we apply Create Layout Suggestion at that time Datasetfieldname generate for all the fields.
If i type it manualy the all other field's datasetfieldname property left blank. BTW what should i do to solve this?

THANKS

I assume that the special character is inside a label. Try to temporary change the value of this label to something that will be valid for the visual studio (the letter "a" for ex.). Or try to use textbox with a variable for its source expression and inside your code evaluate this variable with this character you need.

I am doing the same I define a variable xyz of char type and assign this to source Expression of a textbox with font "Wingdings"
and assign char value conditionaly like

IF "Posted Invoice Document Line".Boolean THEN
xyz := 129
ELSE
xyz := 0;

Now what can i do?
