  I am using FlexReport from a VB application ver 4.8 and want to programatically set the value of a textfield in the reports header.
  
  For some reason I can’t set the value. According to the documentation Value is a public property but it doesn’t show up in intellisense.

  Here is my statement:

  C1FlexReport1.Fields.FindByName(“titleLbl2_Ferdige”).Value = “Testing”

  Hi Arne,

  Apologies for the delay in response.

  The Text property that you need to change exists in the TextField class. The C1FlexReport.Fields.FindByName method returns a generic Field type object, that you must cast to TextField as follows:

  CType(C1FlexReport1.Fields.FindByName("fldReportHeader"), TextField).Text = "Text changed by code"

  Please see the attached sample project for reference - FlexReportFieldCode.zip

  Best Regards,
