XtraReport.ExportToRtf(String, RtfExportOptions) Method

SECURITY-RELATED CONSIDERATIONS

Using file paths sourced from untrusted input may expose unauthorized files or allow unintended file access. Always validate and normalize all external paths to prevent path manipulation.

Exports a report to the specified file in RTF format.

Namespace : DevExpress.XtraReports.UI

Assembly : DevExpress.XtraReports.v25.2.dll

NuGet Package : DevExpress.Reporting.Core

csharp

public void ExportToRtf(
    string path,
    RtfExportOptions options = null
)

Public Sub ExportToRtf(
    path As String,
    options As RtfExportOptions = Nothing
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
path	String

The path to the exported PDF file.

Optional Parameters

Name	Type	Default	Description
options	RtfExportOptions	null

The RTF export options. You can omit this parameter to use the current report export options.

Remarks

Note

Once the document export has started, it runs to completion and you cannot interrupt or cancel it.

This method exports a report to a file in RTF format with the specified RTF export options.

If you do not specify export options, the method uses the current report export options. To access the report export options, use the XtraReport.ExportOptions.Rtf notation.

Important

This method overwrites files with the same name without confirmation.

Use the ExportToRtfAsync(String, RtfExportOptions, CancellationToken) method instead of ExportToRtf to export a report asynchronously in a separate task.

Example

This example demonstrates how to export a report to RTF format.

The project uses the XtraReport.ExportToRtf method with the RtfExportOptions object as a parameter.
