   ByVal outputFormat As OutputFormat, _
   ByVal fileName As String _
) 

 

Parameters

outputFormat

The output document type (XPS only).

fileName

The file name where the report will be exported. If the file exists, it will be overwritten.

Exception	Description
System.NotSupportedException	The exception will be thrown if you try to run export in non FullTrust environment.

Remarks

If the fileName is null or an empty string then the Report will be exported in System.Environment.CurrentDirectory with default file name: Export.xps. If the fileNam 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 parameter only contains a file name, e.g. "xamGridExport.xps", the Report will be exported in the CurrentDirectory with the specified name.

	Dim saveDlg As SaveFileDialog =  New SaveFileDialog() 
	saveDlg.Filter = "XPS documents|*.xps"

	' 1. Create Report object
	Dim reportObj As Report =  New Report() 
 
	' 2. Create EmbeddedVisualReportSection section. 
	' Put the grid you want to print as a parameter of section's constructor
	Dim section As EmbeddedVisualReportSection =  New EmbeddedVisualReportSection(XamDataGrid1) 
 
	' 3. Add created section to report's section collection
	reportObj.Sections.Add(section)
 
	' Optional. If you have progress indicator set its Report property to created report
