Question

In a C# based Win forms application I am working on a report using Microsoft Report Viewer. There is a requirement that I have to display multiple fields in one cell of the table, all in a new line.

• I have tried to use new line characters in expression but didnt work. There is no multi-line property of textbox.
• I have tried to use a list with multiple textboxes in the cell. But
  it gives error that:

The tablix has a detail member with inner members. Detail members can
only contain static inner members

Some people say something like adding groups but I could not figure how to do this.

Could you please let me know how can show multiple fields in row like:

Product Name
Product Color
Poduct Size

Thanks to @Hemant’s suggestion I managed to solve it like this:

In Report -> Report Properties -> Code, I entered this code:

Function GetBreakupstring(value) as String

    return value.Replace("--M--", Environment.NewLine) 

End Function

In Textbox’s expression I entered:

=Code.GetBreakupstring(Fields!Name.Value & "--M--" & Fields!IDProducts.Value & "--M--" & Fields!Color.Value)

Then I tried to simple use Environment.NewLine in expression which I also worked. This is what expression is looking right now:

=Fields!Name.Value & Environment.NewLine & Fields!IDProducts.Value & Environment.NewLine & Fields!Color.Value

Answer 1

you can write a function in VB Code that breaks your input into multiple line and call that function in text box
as
Textbox expression= Code.GetBreakupstring(field.parameter)

and write this
public sub GetBreakupstring(value){

return break value;
}
