   Inherits ReportBase

C#

public class Report : ReportBase 

Remarks

To create a report do the following:

• 1. Instantiate a Report object.
• 2. Specify appropriate settings through the ReportSettings property.
• 3. Create one or more EmbeddedVisualReportSections and add them to the Sections collection.
• 4. Call either the Print, Export(OutputFormat) or XamReportPreview.XamReportPreview.GeneratePreview methods.

Note: styling, templates, header content and footer content for each page's ReportPagePresenters can be specified for the entire report by setting the following properties on the Report object:

• PageContentTemplate
• PageContentTemplateSelector
• PageFooter
• PageFooterTemplate
• PageFooterTemplateSelector
• PageHeader
• PageHeaderTemplate
• PageHeaderTemplateSelector
• PagePresenterStyle

The same set of properties is exposed by the ReportSection to override these defaults on a section by section basis.

Example

This sample shows how to create report, set its content and print it. In the sample XamDataGrid1 is an instance of XamDataGrid.

Visual Basic

Imports Infragistics.Windows.Reporting
 
Private  Sub CreateReport()
    ' 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
    progressInfo.Report = reportObj
 
    ' 4. Call print method
    reportObj.Print(True, False)
End Sub

C#

using Infragistics.Windows.Reporting;

private void CreateReport()
{
    // 1. Create Report object
    Report reportObj = new Report();

    // 2. Create EmbeddedVisualReportSection section. 
    // Put the grid you want to print as a parameter of section's constructor
    EmbeddedVisualReportSection section = 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
    progressInfo.Report = reportObj;

    // 4. Call print method
    reportObj.Print(true, false);
