Make a textbox invisible based on another value

I cannot figure out how to make a textbox or a row in a table visible based
on another boolean variable. I don't want it to be based on the user
toggling or collapsing something - I simply want it to display or hide based
on a field in the dataset. Thanks!Use the ReportItems collection (e.g. =ReportItems!textbox1.Value) to refer
to the value of another textbox.
Note: expressions that refer to report items can only refer to values of
peer report items (those in the same grouping scope) or report items in any
containing (ancestor) grouping scope.

I have a boolean field in the database named OtherCharges. I want a textbox
to display only if this value is true - How can I do this? - To me, there
should be a Visible property, instead, there is a Hidden and ToggleItem
property which are used so that the user can collapse / expand data - a la
Crystal - I don't want to do that.

(hit F4 if it is not visible). For the Hidden property you would write this
expression: =(Fields!OtherCharges.Value = False)
