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);
    }
}
