#Property Value

Type Default Description

A string that is the textual description of a control.

#Remarks

Use the AccessibleDescription property to specify text that the screen reader reads. If the AccessibleDescription value is String.Empty, the screen reader reads the Text property value. This property is used when you export a report to PDF format to create the structure of PDF files that conform to PDF/A-1a, PDF/A-2a, PDF/A-3a, or PDF/UA standard. Web Document Viewer in Accessibility Mode uses this property to create tags that screen readers can read (vocalize).

The AccessibleDescription property is bindable, which means that it can be bound to a field in a report’s data source. Refer to the following topic for more details: Bind Report Controls to Data Using Expression Bindings.
