Exceptions

Exception	Description
System.NotSupportedException	The exception will be thrown if you try to run export in non FullTrust environment.
System.InvalidOperationException	The exception will be thrown if you try to export or print a Report that doesn't have any sections.

Remarks

If the ReportSettings.Infragistics.Windows.Reporting.ReportSettings.FileName property is not set, then the Report will be exported in System.Environment.CurrentDirectory with default file name: Export.xps. If the Infragistics.Windows.Reporting.ReportSettings.FileName property contains only a folder name, e.g. 'C:\MyFolder\', the Report will be exported in that folder with a filename of Export.xps. If the property only contains a file name, e.g. "xamGridExport.xps", the Report will be exported in the CurrentDirectory with the specified name.
