Property	Description
ParametersInformation	Provides access to information about the requested parameters.

Remarks

When you handle the ParametersRequestBeforeShowevent and use the LookUpHelper class to populate a list of dynamic parameter values, call the Fill or FillAsync methods of the parameter data source before you call the LookUpHelper methods. Otherwise, the list of dynamic parameter values will be empty.

The following code snippet sets a value to a parameter if the value is contained in the dynamic list populated with values retrieved from the SqlDataSource:

C#

using System.Linq;
using DevExpress.Data.Browsing;
using DevExpress.DataAccess.Sql;
using DevExpress.XtraReports.Parameters;

int targetValue = 2;

private void XtraReport1_ParametersRequestBeforeShow(object sender, DevExpress.XtraReports.Parameters.ParametersRequestEventArgs e) {            
            Parameter param1 = this.Parameters["parameter1"];

            (((DynamicListLookUpSettings)param1.ValueSourceSettings).DataSource as SqlDataSource).Fill();

            var valueSourceSettings = param1.ValueSourceSettings;
            var dataContext = ((IServiceProvider)sender).GetService(typeof(DataContext)) as DataContext;

            var lookupValues = LookUpHelper.GetLookUpValues(valueSourceSettings, dataContext);
            if (lookupValues.Any(x => (int)x.Value == targetValue))
                param1.Value = targetValue;
}
