I have a simple SQL Server 2008 R2 report with a textbox containing a few fields. I want to suppress the line if the value of a field is null. What would be the syntax for the expression?

So my fields are…

Name
AddressLine1
AddressLine2
AddressLine3
CityStateZip

and I have expressions like this…

=First(Fields!AddressLine2.Value, "dsPersonData")

I was trying the expression below but getting errors

=IIF(Fields!AddressLine2.Value, "",True,False)

In other words I was trying to set the visibility to false if the value was an empty string but I’m not sure what the syntax would be.

    Is easy to do this in the sql query, For example:

    in SQL Server:

    ISNULL(Name, ”) as Name
    ISNULL(AdressLine1, ”) as AdressLine1
    ISNULL(AdressLine2, ”) as AdressLine2
    ISNULL(AdressLine3, ”) as AdressLine3
    ISNULL(CityStateZip, ”) as CityStateZip

    and if you want to set the visibility to false:
    =IIF(First(Fields!AddressLine2.Value, “dsPersonData”) = “”,False,True)
