I've noticed that you can use the First(Value) in the header instead of the slow and tedious method to set and get data. Is there any disadvantages to using the First(Value) in your reports' header?

Hi Jonathan,
Valuable tip. Will try out :)
Interesting. Thank you for this. Unfortunately I'm not able to sacrifice performance for practicality.
Thank you for the insight Nareshwar. SetData and GetData is also the last option in my case. It's very time consuming, and to be honest a poor choice of programming in my oppinion. Unfortunately it's also the only choice you have, if you wish to use, dynamic values. I've been able to cut down on the SetData and GetData by using first, on static values, like Captions, but I was hoping to avoid it.
Using First(Fields!DocNo.Value) works, if you print one record.
For printing a couple of records: add a textbox to the body section, set property hidden to true, set value/expr. to =Fields!DocNo.Value, set name=RepItemDocNo, add a textbox to the header, set expression to =ReportItems!RepItemDocNo.Value. save, retry.
with that you do not need get/setdata. get/setdata can be used, but reduces the performance.

Hi ZipZip,
I have written a blog article regarding this. Can you give me your thoughts on SetData() and GetData()?

Would there be a way to avoid this. I've noticed that you can write something after selecting a value? It's a real time saver if it was possible to make it select the first value of the current page instead of the first value of all pages together?
Well, if you print multiple documents at the same time then it always prints the value from the first document if you use First Method.
