Example

This example illustrates how to specify the primary export options of a report by using the XtraReport.ExportOptions property. These options are taken into account when a document is being exported from a print preview.

This example presumes that a report is exported silently, without prompting an end-user to customize the export options.

All available export options are listed in the ExportOptionKind enumeration.
