Give Blood (Report Expressions in Report Builder)

It's not obvious, but SQL Server 2005 Report Builder allows you to use expressions in textboxes on the report surface. You don't get an expression editor, but if you begin a textbox value with '=', it will be evaluated at report processing time. For example, you can add a time / date stamp to a report by using =Globals.ExecutionTime.ToString("f"). Since you can't set the formatting property, you will have to format the string yourself if you don't like the default format.
