Using the WinGridDocumentExporter™ component, you can export your WinGrid™ to a PDF or XML Paper Specification (XPS) document. This document, known as a Report while still in memory, can consist of several Sections , all created at run time by the Infragistics Document Engine™. You can insert your WinGrid into a section of a Report as support material for the Report as a whole by calling the Export method off the UltraGridDocumentExporter object. The Export method contains five overloads; this topic discusses the third.
The third overload of the Export method accepts two parameters:
the WinGrid to export (Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.UltraGrid)
the section of the Report to which WinGrid will be exported (Infragistics.Documents.Reports.Report.Section.ISection)
In order to insert your WinGrid into a report, you need to create the report, add a section to it, and publish the report. Once you’ve created the section, you can export WinGrid to it. This topic assumes that you have a data bound WinGrid and a WinGridDocumentExporter component on the form. For more information on binding WinGrid to a data source, see Bind WinGrid to a Flat Data Source.
The following code instantiates a Report object, creates a section in the report, exports WinGrid to that section, and finally publishes the report as a PDF document in your C:\Report folder.
In Visual Basic:
' Create a report
Dim report As New Infragistics.Documents.Reports.Report.Report()
' Add a section to the report
Dim section As ISection = report.AddSection()
' Export WinGrid to the section
Me.UltraGridDocumentExporter1.Export(Me.ultraGrid1, section)
' Create a PDF file from the report and
' name it "WinGrid_Report.pdf"
report.Publish("C:\Report\WinGrid_Report.pdf", _
Infragistics.Documents.Reports.Report.FileFormat.PDF)
In C#:
// Create a report
Infragistics.Documents.Reports.Report.Report report =
new Infragistics.Documents.Reports.Report.Report();
// Add a section to the report
ISection section = report.AddSection();
// Export WinGrid to the section
this.ultraGridDocumentExporter1.Export(this.ultraGrid1, section);
// Create a PDF file from the report and
// name it "WinGrid_Report.pdf"
report.Publish("C:\\Report\\WinGrid_Report.pdf",
Infragistics.Documents.Reports.Report.FileFormat.PDF);
