Namespace: DevExpress.XtraReports.UI
Assembly: DevExpress.XtraReports.v18.2.dll

[DefaultBindableProperty("Text")]
public class XRLabel :
XRFieldEmbeddableControl,
IEditOptionsContainerRemarks
You can add this control by dragging the XRLabel item from the DX:18.2: Report Controls Toolbox tab onto the report.
Use the XRControl.Text property to specify the label’s text. You can double-click the label to invoke its in-place editor and type the desired text.
You can bind the label’s Text property to a data field obtained from a report’s data source. Click the control’s smart tag, expand the Expression drop-down list and select the required data field.
See the Label topic for more information.
Example
This example demonstrates how to create an XRLabel object, bind it to data and specify some of its properties. You should bind your report to the Products table of the Northwind database for this example to work properly.
