could i operate the group in code

[crystalamber]

i am using vs.net 2005, i create a gui and a report, when i click a checkbox on the gui, the report should be grouped by some field and start new page for each new group, otherwise, no group need.

i use group expert to create group, but how could i implement the function "no group" when i uncheck the checkbox?

i dont know if it could be coded in c#, which i could cancel the group operation when i dont mark the checkbox


Any help will be appreciated!

Not a developer so not sure how your checkbox is working. Normally to change grouping of a report I use a parameter and then use that within a formula.

Parameter set up as string with a selkection of grouping options , one of which would be No Grouping.

In formula
@group
If parameter = string1 then {Field name1} else
If parameter = string2 then {Field name2} else
....
else If parameter = 'No Group' then ''

Use this formula to group your data. Some how in vs.net you need to call this parameter.
