Displays single and multiline text in a report.

Remarks

Label controls are typically used to provide some text information in a report. Text information usually explains or defines a purpose or content of some data field.

Summary

Label can also contain summary information on a specific field in the data source attached to a report. Summary can calculate many different functions such as sum, average, minimum, maximum, etc. The calculation can also be done for a specific band as well as for the entire report. To implement summary on a label define label’s Summary property.

Data Field

Label text may be either static or dynamically populated from a report's data source. Label can present the value of any field defined in the data source. In order to link a label to a data source field, define Binding property in DataBindings section.
