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 example applies a Boxed style (13) to a view for a list in the specified site.
This example requires using directives (Imports in Visual Basic) for both the Microsoft.SharePoint and Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls namespaces.
