Parameters

  • format
    Type: System.String

    The format in which to render the report. This argument maps to a rendering extension.

  • 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 fe718939-7efe-4c7f-87cb-5f5b09caeff4 Device Information Settings in SQL Server Books Online.
