have 2 testbox values that need to be validated before printing.My expression is :

IIF(Fields!A.Value.ToString = Fields!B.Value.ToString,
Fields!A.Value, Fields!A.Value & " " & Fields!B.Value)

I want the expression to validate if Value of Txt Box A & B is the same,if yes only print Txt Box A else Print Txt Box A Txt Box B.

Im not able to compare the both values,
while preview of report I receive error message "Input String was not in correct format"

I have tried all of the following as well.

IIF(Fields!A.Value.ToString = Fields!B.Value.ToString,
Fields!A.Value, Fields!A.Value & " " & Fields!B.Value)

IIF(Fields!A.Value.ToString LIKE "Fields!B.Value.ToString",
Fields!A.Value, Fields!A.Value & " " & Fields!B.Value)

IIF(Fields!A.Value.ToString LIKE Fields!B.Value.ToString,
Fields!A.Value, Fields!A.Value & " " & Fields!B.Value)

IIF(Fields!A.Value LIKE Fields!B.Value,
Fields!A.Value, Fields!A.Value & " " & Fields!B.Value)

IIF(Fields!A.Value LIKE UCase(Fields!B.Value),
Fields!A.Value, Fields!A.Value & " " & Fields!B.Value)

The example of Text Box A Value is = JOIN
The example of Text Box B Value is = Join.

Ive been trying this for a long time and can't seem to get it to work.Do help me out !!!!!!

Thank You

I tried using a TRIM and changed both Text Box Values to Lower Case [LCase] and then compared them using the "LIKE".

It works now :)
