using C# functions

Naveen Aggarwal · Post by **Naveen Aggarwal** » Sun Feb 27, 2011 4:50 am

is it possible to use c# functions like Left, Right etc. in the report ?
I am in need of applying some condition using 2 characters from the left of a column in.
say for example IIf(Left(a.father_husband_name,3)=="D/O", "", a.father_husband_name) .
Unfortunately it throws an exception.
Kindly help !!

Regards!

Hello,

Left, Right, Mid are not C# functions. These are VB functions.
We made some improvements in that direction and added the Left, Right and Mid functions.
The patch will be available in the next prerelease build.

Thank you.
