XtraReport.StyleSheetPath Property
Gets or sets the path to the style sheet contained in a style sheet file.
Namespace: DevExpress.XtraReports.UI
Assembly: DevExpress.XtraReports.v18.2.dll
Declaration
Property Value
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| String | A String containing the full path (including the file name and extension) specifying where the style sheet file is located. |
Remarks
Use this property to specify the report’s style sheet if it’s stored in a file. This can be very useful, for instance, when a report contains labels that have styles assigned by their names, and these styles can then be changed at runtime simply by changing the StyleSheetPath property’s value to a different file path. The style sheet file can be created in the report designer via the StyleSheet Editor window invoked via the XtraReport.StyleSheet property.
Note that the styles loaded from a style sheet file have a higher priority than the styles which exist in a report’s style sheet, returned by the XtraReport.StyleSheet property. This means that if the styles stored in the report have the same names as the styles loaded from a style sheet file, then the styles in the file will substitute their namesakes. And, the styles loaded from a file can’t be edited in a report.
If the StyleSheetPath property is then set to String.Empty, all the styles loaded from a style sheet file will be removed.
