Hide AllYou can use the rendering extensions for Image, HTML, PDF, XML or Word to render a page report in any of the supported formats. See Rendering for details on rendering formats.
The following steps provide an example of rendering a report in the format.
- In Visual Studio, create a new Windows Forms Application or open an existing one.
- On the Form.cs or Form.vb that opens, double-click the title bar to create the Form_Load event.
- Add the following code inside the Form_Load event.

' Set the file format you want the report to be rendered in.
Dim exportFile As String = System.IO.Path.GetTempFileName() + ".pdf"
Dim myFile As New System.IO.FileInfo(exportFile)
' Provide settings for your rendering output.
