Overload List

OverloadDescription
LoadLayout(String)

This overload has been deprecated. Please use the new LoadLayout(XmlReader) overload.

 
LoadLayout(Stream)

This overload has been deprecated. Please use the new LoadLayout(XmlReader) overload.

 
LoadLayout(Stream,ArrayList)

This overload has been deprecated. Please use the new LoadLayout(XmlReader) overload.

 
LoadLayout(Type,String)

This overload has been deprecated. Please use the new LoadLayout(XmlReader) overload.

 
LoadLayout(XmlReader)Retrieves a report XML layout from an XmlReader and loads it into a report object.  

Remarks

This method can be executed for any existing report class (code type). However, in such cases, all the layout related information defined in existing report class is cleared and gets updated with the loaded RPX file content. Due to this reason, any code (example: Me.textBox1.Text = "ABC") that directly tries to access a control on a report and is defined in the existing report class is ignored. For event related code implementations, it is possible to embed the code in RPX file. In this case, please use Scripting.

Example

C#Copy Code
GrapeCity.ActiveReports.SectionReport report = new GrapeCity.ActiveReports.SectionReport();
System.Xml.XmlTextReader xtr = new System.Xml.XmlTextReader("\\report.rpx");
report.LoadLayout(xtr);
xtr.Close();

// reading from XML DOM (XmlNode)
using (System.Xml.XmlNodeReader reader = new System.Xml.XmlNodeReader(node))
{
    report.LoadLayout(reader);
}

// reading from stream
using (System.Xml.XmlReader reader = System.Xml.XmlReader.Create(inputStream))
{
    report.LoadLayout(reader);
}
           
// reading from string
string layoutContent = "<ActiveReports>...  ...</ActiveReports>";
using (System.Xml.XmlReader reader = System.Xml.XmlReader.Create(new System.IO.StringReader(layoutContent)))
