ASPxGridExporterBase.WriteRtf(Stream) Method

Exports the grid’s data to a stream in RTF format.

Namespace: DevExpress.Web

Assembly: DevExpress.Web.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Web

Declaration

public void WriteRtf(
    Stream stream
)

Parameters

Name Type Description
stream Stream

A Stream object to which the data is exported.

Remarks

Note

Before exporting a grid, the ASPxGridExporterBase component creates an export document on a server. Therefore, when you export a large amount of data to a server with limited memory, the OutOfMemoryException exception may appear.
