XtraReport.ModifyDocument(Action<IDocumentModifier>) Method

Adds and/or removes the report’s document pages.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraReports.UI

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraReports.v23.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Reporting.Core

Declaration

C#

public void ModifyDocument(
    Action<IDocumentModifier> callback
)

VB.NET

Public Sub ModifyDocument(
    callback As Action(Of IDocumentModifier)
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
callback	Action<IDocumentModifier>	A delegate method that allows you to modify the report document using the IDocumentModifier object passed as a parameter.

Remarks

In the delegate method, modify the report document’s page set using the following members exposed by the IDocumentModifier object that is passed as a parameter:

• PageCount
  Specifies the report document’s page count.

• GetPageIndexByID
  Use a page’s ID instead of the Index property to identify the page, because the page index can change while changing the document’s page set. Call the GetPageIndexByID method to get a page’s current index by passing the page’s ID.

• InsertPage
  Inserts the specified page at a specified position.

• RemovePageAt
  Removes the specified page at a specified position.

Call the ModifyDocument method when the report’s document is already created. Use the AfterPrint event or call the CreateDocument() method beforehand.

If you use the ModifyDocument method to extend a report document with pages from another document, create the other document using the CreateDocument() method beforehand.

C#

using DevExpress.XtraPrinting.Caching;
using DevExpress.XtraReports.UI;
// Create the first report and generate its document.
XtraReport1 report1 = new XtraReport1();
report1.CreateDocument();

// Create the second report and generate its document.
XtraReport2 report2 = new XtraReport2();
report2.CreateDocument();

// Add all pages of the second report to the end of the first report.
report1.ModifyDocument(x => {
    x.AddPages(report2.Pages);
});

// Preview the report1 instance that has the merged document stored in memory.

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.XtraPrinting.Caching
Imports DevExpress.XtraReports.UI
' Create the first report and generate its document.
Dim report1 As New XtraReport1()
report1.CreateDocument()

' Create the second report and generate its document.
Dim report2 As New XtraReport2()
report2.CreateDocument()

' Add all pages of the second report to the end of the first report.
report1.ModifyDocument(Sub(x)
    x.AddPages(report2.Pages)
End Sub)

' Preview the report1 instance that has the merged document stored in memory.

Tip

Use the CachedReportSource/CachedReportSourceWeb component’s CreateDocument method to merge reports that include a large amount of data.
