path | String | The path to the exported HTML file. |
Optional Parameters
Name | Type | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|
options | HtmlExportOptions | null | The HTML export options. You can omit this parameter to use the current report export options. |
Remarks
Note
Once the document export has started, it runs to completion and you cannot interrupt or cancel it.
This method exports a report to a HTML file with the specified HTML export options.
If the export options are not specified, the current report export options are used. To access the report export options, use the the report’s XtraReport.ExportOptions property. The property contains the ExportOptions object whose ExportOptions.Html property provides access to the HtmlExportOptions object that contains the HTML export options.
Important
This method overwrites files with the same name without confirmation.
Use the ExportToHtmlAsync(String, HtmlExportOptions, CancellationToken) method instead of ExportToHtml to export a report asynchronously in a separate task.
Example
