Namespace: DevExpress.Web.Mvc

Assembly: DevExpress.Web.Mvc5.v24.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public static byte[] ConvertReportJsonToXml(
    string json
)

VB.NET

Public Shared Function ConvertReportJsonToXml(
    json As String
) As Byte()

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
json	String	A String value, storing the report layout in JSON format.

Returns

Type	Description
Byte[]	A Byte array, storing the report layout in binary form.

Remarks

Note that the JSON format should not be used to store report definitions, since a report stored in JSON format is version dependent.

The main purpose of the JSON format is to transfer report data from the client to the server, where this data should be converted to XML, and only XML data should be stored in the application (saved to a file or database).
