In the previous example, there were numbers of months printed in a matrix. This occurred, because the "Month" data column contains the number of the month, not its name. In order to print the name of the month, do the following:
| • | choose a cell where the number of the month is printed. In our case it is a cell with a name "Cell8"; |
| • | in the "Property" window press the  button and double click "BeforePrint" event; |
| • | FastReport will add an empty event handler in the report script. Write the following code: |
private void Cell8_BeforePrint(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string[] month Names = new string[] {
"January", "February", "March", "April",
"May", "June", "July", "August",
"September", "October", "November", "December" };
// Cell8 is a cell that prints the month number.
// Cell8.Value is a value printed in the cell (i.e. the month number).
// This value is of System.Object type, so we need to cast it to int
Cell8.Text = monthNames[(int)Cell8.Value - 1];
}
When you run the report, you will have the following result:
