TheLoadLayout
method allows you to restore a report from a report definition file created with the following methods:
- XtraReport.SaveLayout(String)
- Saves the report definition to a file as a Code Document Object Model (CodeDOM) graph.
- XtraReport.SaveLayoutToXml(String)
- Saves the report in XML format to the specified file.
- Save action in the End-User Designer
- Review the following topic for more information: Save Report Layouts.
The default file extension for the report definition file is REPX.
TheLoadLayout
method automatically determines whether the specified file contains a serialized XML or CodeDOM-based report and uses the appropriate procedure to load the report. For security reasons, you may decide to use the XtraReport.LoadLayoutFromXml(String) method instead, to load only XML-serialized reports.
