XtraReport.ShowUserFriendlyNamesInUserDesigner Property

OBSOLETE

Use the ShowUserFriendlyNamesInUserDesigner property instead.

Gets or sets a value indicating whether all property names and their values should be displayed in the user-friendly format in the Properties window and smart tags of the End-User Designer.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraReports.UI

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraReports.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Reporting.Core

#Declaration

[Obsolete("Use the DevExpress.XtraReports.Configuration.Settings.ShowUserFriendlyNamesInUserDesigner property instead.")]
public static bool ShowUserFriendlyNamesInUserDesigner { get; set; }

#Property Value

Type Description
Boolean

true to display user-friendly names; otherwise, false.

#Remarks

This property is static, and so changing its value will affect all End-User Designer forms running in the same application.

Note

Note that if you instantiate a report, previously saved to a REPX file, using the XtraReport.LoadLayout or XtraReport.FromFile, you need to set the ShowUserFriendlyNamesInUserDesigner property’s value prior to calling these methods. This is required for XtraReports to correctly support displaying user-friendly names for this report in the End-User Designer.
