Property Value

A DataType enumeration value that determines the type of control to be created for the parameters input dialog.
Remarks
ActiveReports creates the parameters intput dialog for the user dynamically based on the number of parameters and their type.  By default, all parameters are considered strings.  You can specify a Boolean control (checkbox) or a Date (calendar) control instead of a standard textbox.
Example
private void SectionReport1_ReportStart(object sender, System.EventArgs eArgs)
{
    this.Parameters[0].DefaultValue = "Germany";
    this.Parameters[0].Key = "country";
    this.Parameters[0].Prompt = "Country: ";
    this.Parameters[0].Tag = "some extra data";
    this.Parameters[0].Type = GrapeCity.ActiveReports.SectionReportModel.Parameter.DataType.String;
}
Private Sub SectionReport1_ReportStart(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.ReportStart
    Me.Parameters(0).DefaultValue = "Germany"
    Me.Parameters(0).Key = "country"
    Me.Parameters(0).Prompt = "Country: "
    Me.Parameters(0).Tag = "Some extra data"
    Me.Parameters(0).Type = GrapeCity.ActiveReports.SectionReportModel.Parameter.DataType.String
End Sub
