    Sergey,

    All of your session dashboard parameters (on selection change)  are stored/accessible in the dictionary args.SelectionChangedTaskInfo.CustomSubstVarsWithUserSelectedValues.

    Say you have a Textbox dashboard component that's used for input is assigned the parameter Param1, you can read or modify the value behind for Param1 as followed:

    Dim dashDic as dictionary = args.SelectionChangedTaskInfo.CustomSubstVarsWithUserSelectedValues

    'check to see if Param1 is in dashDic dictionary:

    If dashDic.ContainsKey("Param1") then

        'read the value:

       Dim x as string = dashDic("Param1")

       'write a value to Param1:

       dashDic("Param1") = "xxxxxxxx"

    End if

    Forgot to add that once you update the dictionary, you will need to return it back to the dashboard:

    Dim scstr As New XFSelectionChangedTaskResult()

    scstr.ChangeCustomSubstVarsInDashboard = True

    scstr.ModifiedCustomSubstVars = dashDic

    Return scstr

    Hi Cosimo,

    How about read the input value paramater from a XFBR rule? I did try but I couldn't figure it out.
