Reference Materials

Reference Materials
I am having a hard time finding good reference materials for Reporting
Services; especially information online. For one I canâ't find a good resource
for writing expressions, examples, tutorials etc. Just the other day I saw
the use of â'vbcrlfâ' in an expression, but when looking for information on it
I canâ't find a single thing. Iâ'm really at a loss as to what can or canâ't be
done. Anyone know of any good websites on MS Reporting Services?Hi Tome:
Do you have the documentation material?

very very important fact. Three namespaces are included that you can use in
expressions. For instance you can use anything from microsoft.visualbasic,
system.convert (very very important for expressions) and system.math. This
opens up a whole world of additional functionality. So, go to visual basic
documentation on these namespaces and you will be ready to roll.
