adding properties

Hello,

Is it possible to add a (custom) property in the propertygrid of the designer. I want to have a property on the report level (where the name of the report can be filled), where a dynamic formulae can be set by the user, to determine the name of an export file.

thanks
Paul

You don't need to add the property. You could just set the Report Name or Report Alias property of the report.

Thank you.

I already use the report name, and want to add a different property to hold a dynamic formula which is used for determine the name of an exported report. Can this be done?

Then you can use the Report Alias property. If it is not the same as Report Name, the Report Alias is taken as default name of the file of exported report.

Thank you.
