# C1.Report.FieldBase.Name ## Content

Name Property

Name

Gets or sets the field name.

Declaration

public override string Name { get; set; }

Public Overrides Property Name As String

Overrides

ReportObject.Name

Remarks

The field name can be used as an index into the control's Fields collection.

Field names are also used to identify fields in VBScript expressions, as shown in the example below.

Duplicate and empty field names are allowed, but should be avoided if you plan to use the field names in scripts or as indexers.

Examples

The code below assigns a script to the report's Detail section. The script changes a field's ForeColor property depending on a value.

_c1r.Sections.Fields["sampleField"].ForeColor = Color.Black;
_c1r.Sections.Detail.OnFormat = 
    "sampleField.ForeColor = iif(someValue < 5, vbRed, vbBlack)";
