Accessing Members
When you write an expression, you have access not only to Global Objects, Functions and Aggregate Functions but you can also access a member of an object, using the . (dot) character. You can call all public members of an object directly in the Expression Editor. Here are a few examples:
-
= Now().ToShortDateString():Returns a string that contains the current date in short format. -
= 'abc'.ToUpper():Returns "ABC" string. -
= 'abc'.Length:Returns the length of the current string, 3. -
= Price.ToString('$0.'):Returns the value of Price formatted according to the specified format, i.e. $123
