Syntax

'Declaration
Public Class SPViewStyleCollection _
    Inherits SPBaseCollection
'Usage
Dim instance As SPViewStyleCollection

public class SPViewStyleCollection : SPBaseCollection

Remarks

View styles are defined in \\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\TEMPLATE\GLOBAL\XML\VWSTYLES.XML.

Use the ViewStyles property of the SPWeb class to return the collection of view styles for a site. Use an indexer to return a single view style from the collection. For example, if the collection is assigned to a variable named collViewStyles, use collViewStyles[index] in C#, or collViewStyles(index) in Visual Basic, where index is the index number of the view style in the collection.

Examples

The following code example applies a Boxed style (13) to a view for a list in the specified site.

Dim siteCollection As SPSite = SPControl.GetContextSite(Context)
Dim site As SPWeb = siteCollection.AllWebs("Site_Name")
Dim vwStyles As SPViewStyleCollection = site.ViewStyles

Dim vwStyle As SPViewStyle = vwStyles.StyleByID(13)

Dim list As SPList = site.Lists("List_Name")
Dim view As SPView = list.Views("View_Name")

view.ApplyStyle(vwStyle)

view.Update()

SPSite oSiteCollection = SPContext.Current.Site;
    using(SPWeb oWebsite = oSiteCollection.AllWebs["Website_Name"])
    {
        SPViewStyleCollection collViewStyles = oWebsite.ViewStyles;

        SPViewStyle oViewStyle = collViewStyles.StyleByID(13);
        SPList oList = oWebsite.Lists["List_Name"];
        SPView oView = oList.Views["View_Name"];
        oView.ApplyStyle(oViewStyle);
        oView.Update();
    }
}
