Dynamic Footer Visibility

I have two DataSet and two tables in a report. Almost identical reports (top 5). Both DataSet have a Boolean indicator and I am to append an asterisk to a column in the detail rows if indicator is true. If an asterisk appears, I am to display the footer, that has a comment in it explaining the asterisk.


Public Class AsteriskFootNote


'

' To be used on the Visibility.Hidden attribute

'

Dim _FooterVisiblity As Boolean = True

Public ReadOnly Property FooterVisibility() As Boolean


Get


Return _FooterVisibility

End Get

End Property

'

Function AsteriskIndicator(ByVal strInd As String) As String


If (strInd.ToLower = "true") Then


_FooterVisibility = False

Return "*"

End If

Return ""

End Function

'

End Class


I have instantiated two classes Dollars and Hours. In the detail, call the

=Fields!Descr.Value & Code.Dollar.AsteriskIndicator( Fields!MultiInd.Value )
In the footer visibility, I assign hidden:

=Code.Dollar.FooterVisibility
But it does not work. The tables act as if they assign the Hidden value, then processes the detail rows.
