I am using the Standalone Report Designer for .NET to open a code-based report from an application that was migrated from .NET Framework. Before the migration, function calls defined in the designer.cs file were preserved and evaluated at runtime as expected. However, after migrating to the code-based reports functionality supported by the Standalone Report Designer for .NET, these function calls are evaluated immediately during the report import process, and the resulting values are then serialized and stored in the report definition.

It would be nice if the function calls were preserved in the imported report, allowing them to be evaluated later at runtime, as their return values may change depending on the execution context.
