1201662 - When I add a TextObject and change the HorizontalAlignment using the RAS .NET SDK the text alignment doesn't change

Symptom

Adding a TextObject and changing the horizontal alignment
Report Creation API (RC API)
RAS .NET SDK

Environment

Visual Studio .NET 2003 or 2005

Using the RAS .NET SDK to add a TextObject then change the HorizontalAlignment doesn't work.

eg.

        Paragraphs boParagraphs;
        Paragraph boParagraph;
        ParagraphTextElement boParagraphTextElement;
        CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.TextObject boTextObject;
        CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.Section boSection;
        ReportObjectController boReportObjectController;

        boReportDocument.Load(Server.MapPath("CrystalReport.rpt"));
        boReportClientDocument = boReportDocument.ReportClientDocument;
        boReportObjectController = boReportClientDocument.ReportDefController.ReportObjectController;

        boTextObject = new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.TextObject();
        boTextObject.Width = 5000;
        boTextObject.Border.LeftLineStyle = CrLineStyleEnum.crLineStyleSingle;
        boTextObject.Border.RightLineStyle = CrLineStyleEnum.crLineStyleSingle;
        boTextObject.Top = 10;
        boTextObject.Left = 10;
        boTextObject.Format.EnableCanGrow = true;

        boParagraphs = new Paragraphs();
        boParagraph = new Paragraph();
        boParagraphTextElement = new ParagraphTextElement();

        // Configure paragraph 1
        boParagraphTextElement.Text = "This is some right aligned text";
        boParagraph.Alignment = CrAlignmentEnum.crAlignmentRight;
        boParagraph.ParagraphElements.Add(boParagraphTextElement);
        boParagraphs.Add(boParagraph);

        // Configure paragraph 2
        boParagraphTextElement = new ParagraphTextElement();
        boParagraphTextElement.Text = "this is another paragraph left aligned";
        boParagraph = new Paragraph();
        boParagraph.Alignment = CrAlignmentEnum.crAlignmentLeft;
        boParagraph.ParagraphElements.Add(boParagraphTextElement);
        boParagraphs.Add(boParagraph);

// Add the Paragraphs to the TextObject
boTextObject.Paragraphs = boParagraphs;

        // Attempt to set the text alignment for theTextObject as left aligned.
        // You'll notice that this doesn't impact the text alignment.
        boTextObject.Format.HorizontalAlignment = CrAlignmentEnum.crAlignmentRight;

        // Get the ReportHeader section
        boSection = boReportClientDocument.ReportDefinition.ReportHeaderArea.Sections[0];

        // Add the TextObject to the ReportHeader
        boReportObjectController.Add(boTextObject, boSection, 1);
