Field names must be CLS-compliant identifiers.

While creating a report using 'CreateReport' API method for Report Services
2000, I am getting the following error.
//
A field in the data set â'MainDataSetâ' has the name â'Count Borrower Nameâ'.
Field names must be CLS-compliant identifiers.
--> A field in the data set â'MainDataSetâ' has the name â'Count Borrower Nameâ'.
Field names must be CLS-compliant identifiers.
//
The error occurs due to the space on the computed field name. If I
concatinate the words with '_' (for example) then I do not get an error.
I would like know how can I create report that has field with the name like
â'Count Borrower Nameâ', etc?
Thanks.
-SueThe CLS-compliance rule for field names comes from the fact that in vast
majority of scenarios fields in expressions are referenced using the
following syntax: =Fields!FieldName.Value
If a field name is not CLS-compliant (for example "Field Name") then the
syntax above would result in VB compilation error: =Fields!Field Name.Value
is not a valid VB snippet.
RDL does not support field names with spaces. Although if you data source
returns non-CLS-compliant name you designer will build
<Field name="non_CLS_Compliant_Name">
<DataField>non CLS Compliant Name</DataField>
</Field>
