Property Value

A reference to a Font object representing the font of the header or footer section. By default, "Times New Roman 9 point".

If the Font of a HeaderFooterElement has not been explicitly set, the header or footer sections' Font will be used to paint the HeaderFooterElement's text.

Because the Font object is immutable (meaning that you cannot adjust any of its properties), you can only assign the Font property a new Font object. However, you can base the new font on the existing font.

The following example demonstrates how to adjust the font of a header or footer section to make it bold:

Visual Basic

headerFooterSection.Font = New Font( headerFooterSection.Font, headerFooterSection.Font.Style Or FontStyle.Bold )

C#

headerFooterSection.Font = new Font( headerFooterSection.Font, headerFooterSection.Font.Style | FontStyle.Bold );

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
