private void ddbExport_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    string filepath = filepathBase + exportFormat.ToString();
    switch (exportFormat) {
        case (ExportFormat.Image):
            mapControl.ExportToImage(filepath, ImageFormat.Jpeg);
            break;
        case (ExportFormat.Mht):
            mapControl.ExportToMht(filepathBase);
            break;
        case (ExportFormat.Pdf):
            mapControl.ExportToPdf(filepathBase);
            break;
        case (ExportFormat.Xls):
            mapControl.ExportToXls(filepathBase);
            break;
        case (ExportFormat.Xlsx):
            mapControl.ExportToXlsx(filepathBase);
            break;
        default:
            MessageBox.Show("Export to a *" + exportFormat.ToString() + " file format is impossible.", "Export to " + exportFormat.ToString());
            return;
    }
