The goal of RDL is to promote the interoperability of reporting products by defining a common schema that allows interchange of report definitions. RDL is designed to be output format neutral. This means that reports defined using RDL should be able to be outputted to a variety of formats including Web and print-ready formats or data-focused formats like XML.</p> <p class="MsoBodyText">The <span class="LinkClass">C1RdlReport</span> class was added to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal">Reports for WPF</b> in the 2010 v3 release to leverage the flexibility of RDL files. Using <span class="LinkClass">C1RdlReport</span>, you can easily import RDL files into your reporting applications – adding flexibility and functionality through the use of the familiar format.</p><!--DXMETADATA end--> <a name="seealsobookmark"></a> <!--DXMETADATA start type="FilteredItemList" scrap="CATEGORISED_LINKS" namespace="linkcategory" source="Item" filter="" NoHeader="True" NoFooter="True" format="%%replaceinquotes:value=false%%%%scrap:name=_COLLAPSIBLE_HEADER,idprefix=seealso,caption=""%%phrase:name=SeeAlso%%%%designlist:tagidentifier=seealso,itemtype=See Also%%""%%%%filtereditemlist%%</div>"--><div class="SectionHeading" id="seealsoSectionHeading"><span class="SectionHeadingIcon"><!-- --></span><span class="SectionHeadingText">See Also</span></div><div id="seealsoSectionContent" class="SectionContent"><div class="SeeAlsoLink"> <a href="Advantage of C1RdlReport.html">C1RdlReport Advantages</a></div> </div><!--DXMETADATA end--> </div> <div id="FooterContent"> <!--DXMETADATA start type="Scrap" condition="communityenabled" name="_COMMUNITY_FOOTER" --><!--DXMETADATA end --> <!--DXMETADATA start type="Variable" name="CopyrightNotice" format="<p> </p><p> </p><hr style=""height: 1px"" /><p>%%variable%%</p>" --><p> </p><p> </p><hr style="height: 1px"><p>Copyright (c) <script type="text/javascript"> var theDate=new Date() document.write(theDate.getFullYear()) </script> GrapeCity, inc.
