Comments in SSRS Report Expressions

Sophia picture Sophia · May 20, 2009 · Viewed 33.6k times · Source

I'm using some complicated expressions in Reporting Services to control the value, format etc of data in a report (see MSDN).

Is it possible to insert code comments into these expressions, and if so, what is the syntax?

By code comments I mean something like:

// single line comment
/* or multi line comment */

It looks like VB Code.
Try using apostrophe to write a comment.

'This is a sample comment.

This is a guess :)

EDIT: VB doesn't really have multiline comment.
However, try using the following to see if it works


'This is a sample comment _
followed by a new line _
and the comment ends

If that doesn't work, you could do


'This is a sample comment
'followed by a new line
'and the comment ends

EDIT2: Also, it seems that comment should be in the end.
