SaveLayout(Stream) Method

Saves a report's XML layout to the specified stream.

[Visual Basic]
Overloads Public Sub SaveLayout( _
   ByVal stream As Stream _
)

[C#]
public void SaveLayout( 
   Stream stream
);

Parameters

stream: Stream object where the report's layout will be saved.

Remarks

You can use this method to save the report's layout as a stream, then store it in a database or a resource file.

The SaveLayout method uses UTF-16 encoding when you save to a stream, and UTF-8 encoding when you save to a file.

When using this method, any code behind the report is ignored. To embed code in the report, use Scripting.
