Referencing textbox name in expression

I would like to reference a textbox name in an expression. When I write the
following expression, I get an error saying that the textbox name is
"private":
=ReportItems!txtPatientName.Name
Error: The value expression for the textbox â'textbox1â' contains an error:
[BC30390]
'Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportProcessing.ReportObjectModel.ReportItem.Private
ReadOnly Property Name() As String' is not accessible in this context because
it is 'Private'.I should probably mention that I am trying to ultimately reference the NAME
of the column/field returned from the stored procedure. Since that seems
impossible, I was hoping to set the name of the textbox to the name of the
column/field and then reference that. For example:
SELECT AdmitDate as [AdmitDate],
DischargeDate as [DischargeDate]
FROM Table_Name
In the report I would set the name of the textbox that displays the
AdmitDate field to "AdmitDate" so that I could reference the name of the
column/field being returned by the procedure with this statement:
=ReportItems!AdmitDate.Name
Is there any way to reference the name of the field/column being returned by
the procedure or the name of a textbox?
