Remarks
View styles are defined in either of two front-end VWSTYLE.XML files located in the Local_Drive:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\60\TEMPLATE\1033\MPS\XML directory or the Local_Drive:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\60\TEMPLATE\1033\STS\XML directory.
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 myViewStyles, use myViewStyles[index] in C#, or myViewStyles(index) in Visual Basic .NET, where index is the index number of the view style in the collection.
Example
The following code example iterates through the collection of view styles for a site and displays the names of styles that have view fields and the names of the fields.
This example requires using directives (Imports in Visual Basic) for the Microsoft.SharePoint, Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities, and Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls namespaces.
