  John,
  
  1) The manual is not ready yet; it covers the use of expressions.
  The expression must be written in language that you chose for a report (in the "Report|Options..." menu). By default, it is C# language, so your expression should look as follows:
  
  [myField.starttime] == [prmDateFrom] && [myField.starttime] <= [prmDateTo]
  
  2) If you want you can buy it here: http://www.fast-report.com/en/buy/order-FASTREPORT.NET.html.

  Thanks for your reply, it works now, but the problem is this:
  
  1. I have to send the Date value from C# application as (Text) not as date type.
  
  So, the expression requires prmDateFrom to be Date type, Can I use Text type and put it this way:
  
  [myField.starttime] == "#"& [prmDateFrom] &"#"
  
  or
  
  [myField.starttime] == #12/12/2000#
  
  To clear it more, How can I convert the String value to Date value in Fast Report Expression.
  
  Thank you,

  Try this way:
  
  [myField.starttime] == DateTime.Parse([prmDateFrom])
  
  but the better solution is to pass date as DateTime, not as String.
