Example

Report1 ar = new Report1();
System.Xml.XmlTextWriter xtw = new System.Xml.XmlTextWriter("\\report.rpx", null);
ar.SaveLayout(xtw);
xtw.Close();

// saving to stream
System.IO.MemoryStream memory_stream = new System.IO.MemoryStream();
using (System.Xml.XmlWriter writer = System.Xml.XmlWriter.Create(memory_stream))
{
    report.SaveLayout(writer);
}
 
// saving to string
System.Text.StringBuilder layoutContent = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
using (System.Xml.XmlWriter writer = System.Xml.XmlWriter.Create(layoutContent))
{
    report.SaveLayout(writer);
}

Visual Basic

Dim ar As New Report1()
