The purpose of this tutorial is to show you how to create/edit a Style in Expression Blend. 

In order to create a style in Expression Blend you need to perform the following instructions:

1. Open your application in Expression Blend.

   Note
   You can open your application in Expression Blend directly from your Visual Studio. For that purpose do the following things: Open your Solution Explorer (View->Solution Explorer or use the Ctrl+Alt+L shortcut) Select your user controls Right mouse button click and select "Open in Expression Blend...".

2. In the "Objects and Timeline" pane (Window->Objects and Timeline) select the ReportViewer Control for which you want to create (modify) a style.

   

3. Expand the Object -> Edit Style menu.

   

   You have three options here:

   • Edit Current - if you choose it, this will open the currently applied style for edit.

     Note
     If you don't have an applied style to the control, this option will be disabled.

   • Edit a Copy... - edit a copy of the default style. When you select this option a new dialog will be opened.
     

     The "Create Style Resource" dialog will prompt you to select a name for your style, as well as to choose the location where your style will be defined in.

   • Create Empty... - create an empty style for the selected control. When you select this option, the same "Create Style Resource" dialog will be opened. You should select a name for the style, as well as to choose the location where your style will be defined in.

Caution
Telerik Silverlight viewer uses controls from the Telerik XAML suites. If needed, you can replace them with any other controls.
