Parameters

• extension
  The rendering extension to use for the export.

  To access the list of available rendering extensions, use the ListRenderingExtensions method in ServerReport or LocalReport, depending on the processing mode (see ProcessingMode).

• deviceInfo
  An XML string that contains the device-specific content that is required by the rendering extension specified in the format parameter. For more information about device information settings for specific output formats, see Device Information Settings in SQL Server Books Online.

• fileName
  The name of the exported file. The user is prompted for a file name if this parameter is null.

Return Value

Cancel if the user clicked the Cancel button; Abort if the export operation failed; otherwise, OK.

Remarks

Invoking this method is similar to a user selecting an export format from the Export drop-down list on the toolbar, specifying a file name in the Save As dialog box, and then clicking OK.
