I just downloaded 2013 RTM and wonder why the reports sales quote, sales invoice, etc. still use code.setdata and code.getdata in the header.
At the same time, all labels are removed from the new meu, made for this? Does anyone know if this is how the documents should be made in 2013?

    The reason is that the Page Header and footer can only print first or last record. Sales Invoice report will work fine without using getdata and setdata if you are printing a document one at a time. If you are printing multiple invoices then the Page Header will not be the same far all the invoices. That's why they are still using get and set data.

    Thanks for the reply, it makes good sense.
    Now the question is whether the same also applies to labels?
    Why not use labels in the header, and in this way made ​​the report easier to work with in Visual Studio?

    Not really. If you don't use getdata and setdata, if one of your invoice is gets to page 2, it will break.

    Labels are passed in as parameters and are made once per report execution right after OnPreReport trigger.
    Sales Headers can change the language page by page and labels must be created in the data set to be localized correctly.

    Take a look at my blog post here for how to simplify Document Reports. We really don't need to use Code.GetData and Code.SetData.
