How can I assign a value to a textbox programmatically in a report?

For example: If I want to display the date today, txtDate.Text = DateToday;Type
=System.DateTime.Now
into the Textbox and set the Format (right-click->properties) to dd.MM.yyyy or your corresponding date-format
|||that's design time, what i'm trying to do is at run-time I want to assign a value to a particular textbox in the report. ü|||There is no way other than assigning a expression to the Textbox. The "MS Access way" doesn't work anymore ;(
You can do something like:
=iif( some_condition = true, System.DateTime.Now, "No Date")

or create your own function:
Add
Public Function myFunction(val as Object)
if val is Nothing then return System.DateTime.Now
return "Empty"
End Funcion

to Report-Properties->Code
and call it by
=Code.myFunction(Fields!ConditionColumn.Value)

|||ok thanks, i'll try your solution later. sql
