Property Value

Type	Default	Description
String	String.Empty	A String that specifies the formatting rule name.

Remarks

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

Note

To avoid invalid report serialization, the Name property value should not contain any reserved .NET words, library names or the XtraReport class’s property names (DataSource, Version, etc.)
