Declaration

C#

[DefaultValue(DefaultBoolean.Default)]

public DefaultBoolean Visible { get; set; }

VB.NET

<SRCategory(ReportStringId.CatBehavior)>
<DefaultValue(DefaultBoolean.Default)>
Public Property Visible As DefaultBoolean

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
DefaultBoolean	**Default**	A DefaultBoolean value which represents the visibility state.

Available values:

Name	Description
True	Corresponds to a Boolean value of true.
False	Corresponds to a Boolean value of false.
Default	The value is determined by the current object’s parent object setting (e.g., a control setting).

Remarks

The Visible property determines the value which should be set to a control’s XRControl.Visible property, when applying the formatting rule that contains the current Formatting object. Note that if the Visible property is set to DefaultBoolean.Default, this is treated as an empty value, which doesn’t change the visibility of a control’s XRControl.Visible property, even if the rule is applied.

For more information on using this property, refer to the Conditionally Changing a Control’s Appearance document. Also, see the following tutorials, which describe how to use the Visible property in real-life scenarios:

• Conditionally Filtering Report Data
• Conditionally Suppressing Controls
• Limiting the Number of Records per Page
