Question

I am using the Reporting feature in Visual Studio and I need to create a prop/variable to store the current date so I can display it on my form. I cannot seem to find the proper way to do this in the report view.

I originally tried a property of :

public DateTime CurrentDate {get;}

This did not work because there is no setter for it. To fix the problem I :

public DateTime CurrentDate{get{return DateTime.Now;}}

Thanks for the suggestions. They lead me in the right direction.

DateTime.Now
