Namespace: DevExpress.XtraPrinting

Assembly: DevExpress.Printing.v23.2.Core.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Printing.Core

Declaration

C#

public void ExportToText(
    Stream stream
)

VB.NET

Public Sub ExportToText(
    stream As Stream
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
stream	Stream	A Stream object to which the created Text file should be sent.

Remarks

Once the document export has started, it will run until the resulting document is complete and cannot be interrupted or canceled in the process.

Use this method to export a document in Text format using its current Text-specific export options.

These options are represented by the TextExportOptions object returned by the ExportOptions.Text property of a printing system’s PrintingSystemBase.ExportOptions. This object provides the TextExportOptionsBase.Encoding, TextExportOptionsBase.Separator and other properties which are intended to specify parameters of the resulting Text file.

If you want to ignore the current export options of a printing system, and use your specific settings when a document is exported to Text, you should use the overloaded PrintingSystemBase.ExportToText method with the options parameter.
