FontStyle Structure
Represents the style of a font face (for instance, as normal or italic).
Namespace: System.Windows
Assembly: System.Windows (in System.Windows.dll)
The FontStyle type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | Equals | Compares an object with the current FontStyle instance for equality. (Overrides ValueType.Equals(Object).) |
![]() ![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() ![]() | GetHashCode | Retrieves the hash code for this object. (Overrides ValueType.GetHashCode().) |
![]() ![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() ![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() ![]() | ToString | Creates a string that represents the current FontStyle object. (Overrides ValueType.ToString().) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() ![]() | Equality | Compares two instances of FontStyle for equality. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | Inequality | Evaluates two instances of FontStyle to determine inequality. |
This structure provides compatibility between Silverlight JavaScript and WPF properties that specify a font style. The compatibility requirement is that in JavaScript, the relevant properties referenced FontStyle, which is an enumeration, whereas WPF relevant properties referenced FontStyles, a class with static properties.
FontStyle is the value type for Silverlight properties or attributes that specify a font style value, but you must use static properties of FontStyles to provide a FontStyle value. In XAML, you specify the name of a FontStyles property as the attribute value. This functionality is enabled by native XAML parsing behavior that processes the string value.
WPF supports a FontStyles value of Oblique. Silverlight 5 does not support an Oblique value.
