CR XIR2 parameter.islinked always evaluates to false

[cjlarue]

It appears that the same bug that was noticed in CR10 is again appearing in CR XIR2. When using the .Net components and trying to interate thru the parameters, the islinked property of a parameter always evaluates to false no matter how many linked sub reports/parameters exist in the main report. There is a work around noted in KBase Article ID: c2016251 which works for the parameters automatically created by the sub report but will not work for parameters linked to a stored procedure parameter in the sub report. I have many reports I am trying to port from vs2003 asp.net 1.1 with CR 9 to vs.2005 asp.net 2 with CR XI R2 and really need a patch for this. I know that I could rename all my subreport params to begin with "Linked" and then exclude them using the workaround mentioned in the KB. Does anyone know of a patch available for this yet?

Just an update in case anyone is tracking this issue. I had to create a support case with BO and got the following:
"We have tested this issue at our end and this issue has been re-produced with Crystal Reports XI Release 2 also.

We are in the process of tracking and escalating this case to the Q&A team. This will go through a series of steps namely analysis and studying of the bug, re-coding the module, testing, fix release etc. And the Q&A team would decide if this would be fixed or not.

Thank you for your cooperation."

Just got the update from CR Support...very dissapointing
"I have heard back from my resources, and they have confirmed that this issue would not be fixed in Crystal Reports XI Release 2. This may be looked into the next release of Crystal Reports, but we cannot guarantee that a fix may be released. "

Now What?
