Public Enumeration FileFormatEnum

Members

	Member name	Description
	HTML	Plain HTML format. This setting creates a single HTML file that can be viewed in any web browser.
	HTMLPaged	Paged HTML format. This setting creates one HTML file for each page in the report, with links to navigate between pages.
	HTMLDrillDown	Drill-down HTML format. This setting creates a single HTML file with collapsible headings. When viewed in a DHTML-capable browser, clicking group headers causes them to collapse and expand to show the detail.
	PDF	Adobe PDF format. This setting creates a PDF file that can be viewed using Adobe Acrobat software. The PDF file includes an outline tree that is generated automatically based on the report structure. Each node in the tree corresponds to a group header section in the report. Invisible group header sections do not generate outline entries in the PDF document.
	PDFEmbedFonts	Adobe PDF format with embedded fonts. This setting creates a PDF file that can be viewed using Adobe Acrobat software.
	Text	Plain text. This setting creates a plain ASCII file.
	RTF	RTF format. This setting creates an RTF file that can be opened in Microsoft Word, WordPad, or any other RTF-capable text editor.
	Excel	Microsoft Excel files. This setting creates a BIFF-8 Excel file that can be opened with Microsoft Excel 97 or later.
	TIFF	TIFF format. This setting creates multi-page TIFF files.
	PDFPrintUtil	Deprecated. Use PDF, PDFEmbedFonts, or PDFProcted instead.
	PDFProtected	Protected PDF format. This setting creates a PDF file with a random password. The file can be opened and printed by anyone, but cannot be modified.
	RTFLabels	RTF field-based format. This setting creates RTF files with absolutely-positioned fields. This format renders reports more accurately than the plain RTF format, and is recommended for creating label-style reports. However, the files created with this setting are harder to edit than the plan RTF format, and can only be previewed or printed correctly using Microsoft Word (this format doesn't work with WordPad).
	TextSinglePage	Plain text. This setting creates a plain ASCII file as a single page.
	Metafile	Compressed metafile. This setting creates a zip file containing one metafile (emf) per page. The default file extensions for this format are "zip" or "emz".
	OpenXml	OpenXml file. This setting creates an OpenXml Excel file that can be opened with Microsoft Excel 2007 or later.

Remarks

Use the members of this enumeration to set parameter of the RenderToFile(String, FileFormatEnum) method in the C1Report class.

Examples

The following example renders the report to HTML, exporting fields as raw HTML with rich formatting:

Copy CodeVisual Basic

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
' open custom output stream to unescape HTML codes
Dim fileName As String = Application.StartupPath + "out.htm"
Dim s As RawHtmlStream = New RawHtmlStream(fileName, FileMode.Create)
    ' render report to stream
    Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor
    c1r.RenderToStream(s, C1.C1Report.FileFormatEnum.HTML)
    Cursor = Cursors.Default
    ' close stream
    s.Close()
    ' show what we have
    System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(fileName)
End Sub

Copy CodeC#

private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    // open custom output stream to unescape HTML codes
    string fileName = Application.StartupPath + @"out.htm";
    Stream s = new RawHtmlStream(fileName, FileMode.Create);
    // render report to stream
    Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor;
    c1r.RenderToStream(s, C1.C1Report.FileFormatEnum.HTML);
    Cursor = Cursors.Default;
    // close stream
    s.Close();
    // show what we have
    System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(fileName);
}
