Making a variable invisiable at runtime

I have a variable I'm using as a label.

I want to make this variable invisible if the text below it is blank (i.e. string.empty).

The text below is from a field in the database called fieldname. So whenever fieldname == string.empty I want the variable I use as a label to be invisible.

I see there's a condition property. But I have no idea how to use it. There is ZERO documentation on this property.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I created a variable...and then put the variable on the report in the databind.

The variable is used as a label.

Below the variable is a data field.

What I want to know is....IF the data field value is "" I want to make the variable invisible.

I figured it out.

By using the condition statement as a expression I was able to get it to work.

SQLTable.FieldName == ""


Then clicked off the Enabled button for the above condition.


Finding new things all the time.....great product.
