Request feature about syntax
I would ask Request feature about the syntax:
Now, FR4 uses <dataset."FieldName"> , it is quite complex for a normal user, specially when they need to manage expressions using <, > or <> like:
<dataset."Price"> > <dataset2."Price2"> or <dataset."FieldName"> <> <dataset2."FieldName">
I know it very well because we have thousand of users and many of them do not use the designer precisely for this reason.
Also, we are planning to offer a Net version of our product, using FR.Net, that uses something like [dataset.FieldName]
I would ask you to give the option to use the FR.Net syntax. It is a lot clearer and the migration from FR4 to FR Net would be smoothly.
I am not asking a radical change, I am just asking to provide a property in the main report class like "UseSimplifiedSintax = false/true" to be back compatible, but to offer the new system.
It would be beneficial for non-computer literate users and for migration to FR.Net.
Thank you
