### Remarks

The returned style data, computed from USS files or inline styles written to this object in C#, doesn't represent the fully resolved styles, such as the final height and width of a VisualElement. To access these fully resolved styles, use [\_resolvedStyle](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/uielements/visualelement/resolvedstyle.md).

For information about how to use this property and all the supported USS properties, refer to the [Apply styles in C# scripts](/engine/6000.5/manual/uitoolkits/uielements/uie-uss/uie-apply-styles-with-csharp.md) and [USS properties reference](/engine/6000.5/manual/uitoolkits/uielements/uie-uss/properties/reference.md) manual pages.
