Remarks

You can use this method in the BeforePrint event handler of a report control to retrieve values of bound data while the report document is being built and the report iterates over the bound data source.

The following methods allow you to get values contained in the current, next, and previous data row of the report data source:

• GetCurrentColumnValue(String)
• GetPreviousColumnValue(String)
• GetNextColumnValue(String)

Alternatively, you can use generic methods:

• XtraReportBase.GetCurrentColumnValue<T>
• XtraReportBase.GetPreviousColumnValue<T>
• XtraReportBase.GetNextColumnValue<T>
