The properties of any component within a report can be used when creating expressions.
Syntax
Whether the report language is VB.NET or C#, the syntax is the same: The name of the component and the property name separated by a full-stop character or a decimal point, within curly braces.
{Component.Property}
VB.NET is not case sensitive, while C# is case sensitive.
To access a calculated value from a component, use the property that contains the result you need. For instance, if the component has a hyperlink value which calculates a hyperlink from the other component properties, you would enter the expression:
{MyComponent.HyperlinkValue}
When necessary, you can use the component properties in calculations. The following example would show the area taken up by the component:
{MyComponent.Width*MyComponent.Height}
