Remarks

The ASPxReportDesigner uses report name resolution services to obtain a report by name.

If you pass a string identifier to the OpenReport method, you should implement and register one of the following services to translate a name to a report instance.

IReportProvider

Allows you to implement a service that resolves a report name to a report instance.

IReportProviderAsync

Allows you to implement a service that asynchronously resolves a report name to a report instance.

ReportStorageWebExtension

A report storage for Web Reporting. The service is called when no other report name resolution services are available. It is designed to get reports from external storage (a file or a database) where they are saved in XML serialized format.

Review the following topics for more information:

• XML Serialization
• Save Report Layouts
• Load Report Layouts
