Property Value

Type	Description
ExportOptions	An ExportOptions object which contains the export settings for a report.

Remarks

Example

This example illustrates how to export a report to HTML using the XtraReport.ExportToHtml method, as well as how to use HtmlExportOptions to adjust the options of the resulting HTML file.

For this example to work, you first need to add a new report (named XtraReport1) to your project, drop some report controls onto it, and then execute the code below (for instance, in the Button.Click event handler of any button on a form). Note also, that if you want the resulting file to be automatically opened in the default program which is used to open *.htm files in your system, you can call the StartProcess method, which is also shown in this example.
