Definition

public:
 bool IsAggregationField(int index);
public bool IsAggregationField (int index);
abstract member IsAggregationField : int -> bool
Public Function IsAggregationField (index As Integer) As Boolean

Parameters

index
Int32

The index of the field within the record.

Returns

A value of true if the current row is an aggregation field; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The IsAggregationField method enables you to supply specific, aggregation information about your result set to the report server. Take, for instance, the following result set:

City          State          Sales  
====================================  
Seattle       WA             150.65  
Seattle       (null)         150.65  
Tacoma        WA              75.54  
Tacoma        (null)          75.54  
(null)        WA             226.19  
Portland      OR             112.25  
Portland      (null)         112.25  
(null)        OR             112.25  
(null)        (null)         338.44  

The IsAggregationField method returns a Boolean value for each row indicating that the field at the current index is an aggregation field, that is, the field is used in aggregations. In the previous example, the fields at index 0 and index 1 for row one should return true. In contrast, field index 1 for row two should return false. For row nine, both field index 0 and 1 should return false. Field index 2, the Sales field, returns false for all rows.
