XtraReport.Margins Property

Gets or sets the report’s page margins.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraReports.UI

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraReports.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Reporting.Core

#Declaration

[SRCategory(ReportStringId.CatPageSettings)]
[XRLocalizable(true)]
public DXMargins Margins { get; set; }

#Property Value

Type Description
DXMargins

The report’s page margins.

#Remarks

Margins are measured in report units (hundredths of an inch or tenths of a millimeter).

To set report margins, create a new DXMargins object and assign it to the XtraReport.Margins property. Do not change an individual setting (Top / Left / Bottom / Right) in the DXMargins object obtained with the XtraReport.Margins property.

#Example

The code sample below creates a new report, sets its name, display name, paper kind and margins, and adds the Detail Band band with the XRLabel control on it.

result-static-report-runtime

using System.Drawing;
using DevExpress.Drawing;
using DevExpress.Drawing.Printing;
using DevExpress.XtraReports.UI;
// ...
public static XtraReport CreateReport() {
    XtraReport report = new XtraReport() {
        Name = "SimpleStaticReport",
        DisplayName = "Simple Static Report",
        PaperKind = DXPaperKind.Letter,
        Margins = new DXMargins(100, 100, 100, 100)
    };

    DetailBand detailBand = new DetailBand() {
        HeightF = 25
    };
    report.Bands.Add(detailBand);

    XRLabel helloWordLabel = new XRLabel() {
        Text = "Hello, World!",
        Font = new DXFont("Tahoma", 20f, DXFontStyle.Bold),
        BoundsF = new RectangleF(0, 0, 250, 50),
    };
    detailBand.Controls.Add(helloWordLabel);

    return report;
}
