>>I am studying code of a ASP.NET project that uses Crystal Reports (the project was developed by off-shore developer who is no longer responding). I have complete source and need to continue maintaining it.
>>
>>In a nutshell, in one part of the project/page, the following sequence of occurs:
>>
>>1. User populates a page (bunch of text boxes and check boxes)
>>2. On Submit the following happens:
>>3. A row object is created (based on some dataset dstFunction)
>>4. This columns of the row object get values based on (from) the user making entries in text box and check boxes
>>5. The row object is added to the dataset.
>>6. Crystal report (e.g. rptForm) receives the dataset (e.g. rptForm.SetDataSource( dstFunction)
>>
>>When I look at the Crystal Report form in the designer (e.g. open in VS2005 MyFunction.rpt) I see all the check boxes and text boxes. When I click in a check box I can open the Property sheet for this or that control. Which property in the Property sheet would be the value of the dataset column? (If this is how it works) That is, how do I find out what value is set (in the Crystal Report) for each control?
>>
>>TIA.

I found the property; it is (Name) in the Misc group.
