A string value representing the repository item name.

Since the RepositoryItem class is a Component descendant, you can access repository items in code directly by their names. Thus, you can specify an appropriate name at design time to use it when accessing editor settings via code. This eliminates the need to use EditorName. Properties constructs when accessing editor settings. This is also useful when using container controls since they operate against repository items rather than editor objects.
Note that changing the Name property at runtime has no effect.
The following code snippet (auto-collected from DevExpress Examples) contains a reference to the Name property.

The algorithm used to collect these code examples remains a work in progress. Accordingly, the links and snippets below may produce inaccurate results. If you encounter an issue with code examples below, please use the feedback form on this page to report the issue.
