Parameters

Name	Type	Description
stream	Stream	A Stream object, to which the map is exported.
format	ImageFormat	A ImageFormat value representing the format in which the map is exported.

Remarks

This method exports the current map as an image to an object of the Stream class or its descendants, calling the PrintingSystemBase.ExportToImage method. The image format should be specified by the format parameter, for instance, ImageFormat.BMP. After creating an image file, the map can be displayed in an appropriate application. For more information, refer to the PrintingSystemBase.ExportToImage topic.

Note

The MapControl’s data can only be exported if the XtraPrinting Library is available.
