Expressions on Designer control

Hi All,


The expression [Format ("{0: yyMMdd}", [Date])] or any other expression in a text object does not work in the designer control in VB.net 2017.

When I preview the report I get the error "the object reference was not defined as an instance of an object".

I've tried it in a designer and it works.


Does anyone have a suggestion?

Thanks in advance.


Best regards
