Declaration

C#

public static void AssociateReportWithExtension(
    XtraReport report,
    string contextName

    report As XtraReport,
    contextName As String
)

Parameters

Remarks

To provide editors to parameters of custom types in a print preview, create a custom parameters request extension inherited from the ParametersRequestExtension class.

Then, register the extension (using the ParametersRequestExtension.RegisterExtension method) and associate the report with the custom extension (using the AssociateReportWithExtension method).

For a code sample, see How to create parameter editors that are dependent on each other’s values.
