referencing report parameters in code

I'm trying to reference a report parameter in the code window:
Dim CompId As Integer
CompId = Parameters!CompanyId.Value
It gives me the error:
[BC30469] Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference.
Any ideas (or alternatives) on how to resolve this? Thank you.TechnoSpyke,
The syntax to reference a report parameter has to be done by instantiating a
Reporting Object
For example:
Dim strParamName as string = â'ThisAStringLiteralâ'
Dim strParamValue as string = â'ThisAStringLiteralâ'
Dim Parameters(0) As Reporting.ParameterValue
Parameters(0) = New Reporting.ParameterValue
Parameters(0).Name = strParamName
Parameters(0).Value = strUSerID
For a better documentation, reference the SOAP API call in BOL

What I wanted was to set a variable based on a report parameter (assuming
that this parameter has already a value), from within the report (code
window). The code below was taken from the BOL (Initializing Custom
Assembly Objects).
<Code>
Dim m_myClass As MyClass
Protected Overrides Sub OnInit()
m_myClass = new MyClass(User!Language, Paramters!Territory)
End Sub
</Code>
This is very similar to what I'm trying to do, yet I get a "[BC30469]
Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference." everytime I
reference the Parameters.

Were are you trying to get the value?
-in a custom assembly?
-in the code page of the report?
-in the expression builder of a control on a report?
If you're in a report, the report knows the name of the parameter. You
reference the param by name. So try to assign the value into a variable by
name.
I've not done that, but read about it. Search this newsgroup for params and
search BOL for param usage.

code looks like this (modified for this purpose):
Protected Overrides Sub OnInit()
Dim compId As Integer
'following code returns error [BC30469]
compId = Parameters!CompanyId
'following code still returns error [BC30469]
compId = Parameters!CompanyId.Value
'following code doesn't return an error, although not sure if I have the
correct value
compId = Report.Parameters("CompanyId").Value
