Apply Styles through Code

The following steps set a style sheet source and apply style to a TextBox control.

1. In Visual Studio, create a new Page Report Application or open an existing one.

2. On the Form.cs or Form.vb that opens, double-click the title bar to create the Form_Load event.

3. Add the following code inside the Form_Load event.

   'Path and Name of the loaded PageReport
   Dim filePath As String = "C:\SampleReport.rdlx"
   Dim pageReport As New GrapeCity.ActiveReports.PageReport(New System.IO.FileInfo(filePath))
   Dim reportDocument As New GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Document.PageDocument(pageReport)
   
   ' Set the style sheet source and value using external style sheets
   reportDocument.PageReport.Report.StyleSheetSource = GrapeCity.ActiveReports.PageReportModel.StyleSheetSource.External
   reportDocument.PageReport.Report.StyleSheetValue = "C:\ExternalStyle.rdlx-styles"
   
   ' Set the style sheet source and value using embedded style sheets
   reportDocument.PageReport.Report.StyleSheetSource = GrapeCity.ActiveReports.PageReportModel.StyleSheetSource.Embedded
   reportDocument.PageReport.Report.StyleSheetValue = "EmbeddedStylesheet1
   
   ' Add a Textbox control and apply style
   Dim text As New GrapeCity.ActiveReports.PageReportModel.TextBox()
   text.Value = "Sample Text"
   text.Style.StyleName = "Style1"
   pageReport.Report.Body.ReportItems.Add(text)
   viewer1.LoadDocument(reportDocument)
   

   //Path and Name of the loaded PageReport
   string filePath = @"C:\SampleReport.rdlx";
   GrapeCity.ActiveReports.PageReport pageReport = 
   new GrapeCity.ActiveReports.PageReport(new System.IO.FileInfo(filePath));
   GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Document.PageDocument reportDocument = 
   new GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Document.PageDocument(pageReport);
   
   // Set the style sheet source and value using external style sheets
   reportDocument.PageReport.Report.StyleSheetSource = GrapeCity.ActiveReports.PageReportModel.StyleSheetSource.External;
   reportDocument.PageReport.Report.StyleSheetValue = @"C:\ExternalStyle.rdlx-styles";
   
   // Set the style sheet source and value using embedded style sheets
   reportDocument.PageReport.Report.StyleSheetSource = GrapeCity.ActiveReports.PageReportModel.StyleSheetSource.Embedded;
   reportDocument.PageReport.Report.StyleSheetValue = "EmbeddedStylesheet1";
   
   // Add a Textbox control and apply style
   GrapeCity.ActiveReports.PageReportModel.TextBox text = 
   new GrapeCity.ActiveReports.PageReportModel.TextBox();                      
   text.Value = "Sample Text";
   text.Style.StyleName = "Style1";
   pageReport.Report.Body.ReportItems.Add(text);                                                                     
   viewer1.LoadDocument(reportDocument);
