Exporting and Publishing Reports in the Report Designer
Instead of printing the report, you may want to export it into a file and distribute it electronically to your clients or coworkers. VSReport Designer supports several export formats, listed below:
Format |
Description |
---|---|
Paged HTML |
Creates one HTML file for each page in the report. The HTML pages contain links that let the user navigate the report. |
Drill-Down HTML |
Creates a single HTML file with sections that can be collapsed and expanded by the user by clicking on them. |
Plain MILT |
Creates a single, plain HTML file. |
|
Creates a PDF file that can be viewed on any computer equipped with Adobe's Acrobat viewer or browser plug-ins. |
VSPrinter |
Creates a file using the VSPrinter control's native format. The file can be loaded, viewed, and printed from a VSPrinter control within an application or Web page. |
Text |
Creates a plain text file. |
