Allows ActiveReports documents to be exported to plain text.

Object Model

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public NotInheritable Class TextExport 
   Inherits System.ComponentModel.Component
   Implements DataDynamics.ActiveReports.Export.IDocumentExport

public sealed class TextExport : System.ComponentModel.Component, DataDynamics.ActiveReports.Export.IDocumentExport

Remarks

The default character encoding used for the TextExport is ASCII. If your reports may contain internationalized characters then consider using the Encoding property to specify the System.Text.UTF8Encoding or System.Text.UnicodeEncoding instead. The current Encoding’s preamble is written out according to the rules of System.IO.StreamWriter.

Example

This code sample assumes that you have a RichTextBox on the viewer's form.

private void btnExport_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    rptDataDynamics rpt = new rptDataDynamics();
    DataDynamics.ActiveReports.Export.Text.TextExport t = new DataDynamics.ActiveReports.Export.Text.TextExport();
    System.IO.MemoryStream s = new System.IO.MemoryStream();
    rpt.Run();
    this.arv.Document = rpt.Document;
    t.Encoding = System.Text.Encoding.Default;
    t.PageDelimiter = "\n" + "End of Page" + "\n" + "\n";
    t.SupressEmptyLines = false;
    t.TextDelimiter = "        ";
    t.Export(rpt.Document, s,"1-2");
    s.Position = 0;
    this.rtbWinForm.LoadFile(s, RichTextBoxStreamType.PlainText);
}

Visual Basic

Private Sub btnExport_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnExport.Click
    Dim rpt As New rptDD
    Dim t As New DataDynamics.ActiveReports.Export.Text.TextExport
    Dim s = New System.IO.MemoryStream
    rpt.Run()
    Me.Viewer1.Document = rpt.Document
    t.Encoding = System.Text.Encoding.Default
    t.PageDelimiter = vbCrLf & "End of Page" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
    t.SupressEmptyLines = False
    t.TextDelimiter = "     "
    t.Export(rpt.Document, s, "1-2")
    s.position = 0
    Me.rtbWinForm.LoadFile(s, RichTextBoxStreamType.PlainText)
End Sub
