The control includes several built-in visual styles, including Vista and Office 2007 styles, to style your application. For more information about available styles, see Visual Styles. You can easily change visual styles in Source view, in Design view, and in code using the VisualStyle property. The examples below set the VisualStyle to Vista.

Note that when you change the VisualStyle property the VisualStylePath and C1ReportViewer.CssClass properties also change.
