XRRichText.SaveFile(String) Method

Saves the contents of the XRRichText control to a Rich Text Format (RTF) file.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraReports.UI

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraReports.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Reporting.Core

#Declaration

public void SaveFile(
    string path
)

#Parameters

Name Type Description
path String

A String containing a path to the file, which the contents of the XRRichText control will be saved to.

#Remarks

This method enables a user to save the entire contents of the control to an RTF file that can be used by other programs such as Microsoft Word and Windows WordPad. If a file pointed to by the path parameter already exists in the specified directory, the existing file will be overwritten without warning.

#Example

The following code snippet creates the XRRichText object, specifies certain properties, and saves its contents to a file.

using System;
using DevExpress.XtraReports.UI;
// ...

public XRRichText CreateXRRichText(){
    // Create a Rich Text Box control.
    XRRichText xrRichText1 = new XRRichText();

    // Set automatic height calculation,
    // and make the borders visible.
    xrRichText1.CanGrow = true;
    xrRichText1.CanShrink = true;         
    xrRichText1.Borders = DevExpress.XtraPrinting.BorderSide.All;

    // Add lines of text to the document.
    // The XRRichText control converts an array of strings into paragraphs.
    string[] boxLines = new String[3];
    boxLines[0] = "Line 1";
    boxLines[1] = "Line 2";
    boxLines[2] = "Line 3";
    xrRichText1.Lines = boxLines;

    // Export XRRichText contents to Microsoft Office Word OpenXml format (DOCX).
    xrRichText1.SaveFile("output.docx", XRRichTextStreamType.XmlText);

    return xrRichText1;
}
