XtraReport.ExportToImage(Stream, ImageExportOptions) Method
Exports a report to the specified stream in Image format using the specified Image-specific options.
Namespace: DevExpress.XtraReports.UI
Assembly: DevExpress.XtraReports.v19.1.dll
NuGet Packages: DevExpress.Reporting.Core, DevExpress.WindowsDesktop.Core
Declaration
Parameters
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
stream | Stream | A Stream object to which the created Image file should be sent. |
options | ImageExportOptions | A ImageExportOptions object which specifies the Image export options to be applied when a report is exported. |
Remarks
Once the document export has started, it will run until the resulting document is complete and cannot be interrupted or canceled in the process.
Use this method to export a report to Image format using the specified Image export options (like ImageExportOptions.Format and others.) Note that in this instance the current report export options, which are represented by the ImageExportOptions object returned by the ExportOptions.Image property of a report’s XtraReport.ExportOptions, are ignored.
If you want to use the current export options of a report, you should call the overloaded XtraReport.ExportToImage method without the options parameter.
Note
For more information on using the ExportToImage method, and limitations on export to Image, please refer to the Export to Image document.
Example
The following example demonstrates how to export a report to image. To do this, the XtraReport.ExportToImage method should be used. It also demonstrates what specific ImageExportOptions may be used when a report is exported to image.
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 *.png files in your system, you can call the StartProcess method, which is also shown in this example.
