SPViewStyleCollection Class

View styles are defined in \\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\TEMPLATE\GLOBAL\XML\VWSTYLES.XML.

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 collViewStyles, use collViewStyles[index] in C#, or collViewStyles(index) in Visual Basic, where index is the index number of the view style in the collection.

The following code example applies a Boxed style (13) to a view for a list in the specified site.

SPSite oSiteCollection = SPContext.Current.Site;
    using(SPWeb oWebsite = oSiteCollection.AllWebs["Website_Name"])
    {
        SPViewStyleCollection collViewStyles = oWebsite.ViewStyles;

        SPViewStyle oViewStyle = collViewStyles.StyleByID(13);
        SPList oList = oWebsite.Lists["List_Name"];
        SPView oView = oList.Views["View_Name"];
        oView.ApplyStyle(oViewStyle);
        oView.Update();
    }
}

Certain objects implement the IDisposable interface, and you must avoid retaining these objects in memory after they are no longer needed. For information about good coding practices, see Disposing Objects.
