Example

The code sample below illustrates how to create an XRLabel object and bind it to data. You should bind your report to the Northwind database’s Products table for this example to work properly.

To learn about the events available for a report and its controls, see Report Events.

C#

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using DevExpress.XtraPrinting;
using DevExpress.XtraReports.UI;
// ...

public partial class XtraReport1 : XtraReport {

    public XRLabel CreateXRLabel() {
        // Create a new label object.
        XRLabel label = new XRLabel();

        // Bind the label to the UnitPrice data field. 
        // Change the label's foreground color depending on the UnitPrice data field value.
        label.ExpressionBindings.AddRange(new ExpressionBinding[] {
        new ExpressionBinding("BeforePrint", "Text", "[UnitPrice]"),
        new ExpressionBinding("BeforePrint", "ForeColor", "Iif([UnitPrice]>20, \'Red\', \'Green\')")});

        // Apply a currency format to the label's text.
        label.TextFormatString = "{0:c2}";

        // Automatically adjust the label's width to its content.
        label.AutoWidth = true;

        // Align the label's text to the bottom right corner.
        label.TextAlignment = TextAlignment.BottomRight;

        return label;
    }

    public XtraReport1() {
        // ...
        // Add the label to the report's Detail band.
        XRLabel label = CreateXRLabel();
        this.Detail.Controls.Add(label);
    }
}
