Namespace: DevExpress.XtraReports.Parameters

Assembly: DevExpress.Printing.v17.2.Core.dll

Declaration

C#

[XtraSerializableProperty]
[DefaultValue("")]
[Browsable(false)]
public string Name { get; set; }

VB.NET

<XtraSerializableProperty>
<DefaultValue("")>
<Browsable(False)>
Public Property Name As String

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
String	String.Empty	A String containing the name of the parameter.

Remarks

The Name property can be used at runtime, to evaluate an object by its name rather than type or programmatic name. Because the Name property returns a String value, it can be evaluated in case-style logic statements (switch statement in C#, Select statement in Visual Basic).

Note

To avoid invalid serialization of your reports, the Name property value should not contain any .NET reserved words or library names.

For more information, refer to Using Report Parameters.
