Parameters

  • Format
    Type: System.String
    The format in which to render the report. This argument maps to a rendering extension. Supported extensions include XML, NULL, CSV, IMAGE, PDF, HTML4.0, HTML3.2, MHTML, EXCEL, and Word. A list of supported extensions may be obtained by calling the ListRenderingExtensions method.
  • DeviceInfo
    Type: System.String
    An XML string that contains the device-specific content that is required by the rendering extension specified in the Format parameter. DeviceInfo settings must be passed as internal elements of a DeviceInfo XML element. For more information about device information settings for specific output formats, see fe718939-7efe-4c7f-87cb-5f5b09caeff4 Device Information Settings .
  • Extension
    Type: System.String%
    [out] The file extension corresponding to the output stream.
  • MimeType
    Type: System.String%
    [out] The MIME type of the rendered report.
  • Encoding
    Type: System.String%
    [out] The encoding used when report server renders the contents of the report.
  • StreamIds
    Type: array<System.String[]%
    [out] The stream identifiers. These IDs are passed to the RenderStream method. You can use them to render the external resources (images, etc.) that are associated with a given report.

Return Value

Type: array<System.Byte[]
A Byte[] array of the report in the specified format.

Render2 renders a processed report associated with the report execution identified in the ExecutionInfo2 header. If no session snapshot exists, this method will execute the report (if all credential and parameter requirements are met), resulting in a new session snapshot being created. If the report needs to be reprocessed because non-query parameter values have changed, the snapshot will be reprocessed.

If the execution options are set to cache or execution snapshot, the call to Render2 may use an existing snapshot.

If the report is set to cache and the supplied parameter values and credentials match, the cached copy of the snapshot may be loaded instead of actually processing the report.

If credential and parameter requirements are not met, this method will return an error.

Subsequent calls to Render2 can be used to fetch additional pages of the report if the rendering extension supports specifying multiple pages.

A limitation of the Render method is that the output cannot be streamed, so the entire file must be in-memory.

Please see Identifying Execution State for a discussion of the execution life cycle, which includes a description of the steps necessary to load and render a report.
