  1. Go to the table row’s BackgroundColor property and choose ‘Expression…’

    Use this expression: 

    = IIf(RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 2 = 0, 'Silver', 'Transparent')

    This trick can be applied to many areas of the report.

    And in .NET 3.5+ You could use:

    = If(RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 2 = 0, 'Silver', 'Transparent')

    Not looking for rep–I just researched this question myself and thought I’d share.
