CreateStreamCallback Delegate

 

Provides a stream to the ReportViewer control for rendering.

Namespace:   Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms
Assembly:  Microsoft.ReportViewer.WinForms (in Microsoft.ReportViewer.WinForms.dll)

Syntax

public delegate Stream CreateStreamCallback(
    string name,
    string extension,
    Encoding encoding,
    string mimeType,
    bool willSeek
)
public delegate Stream^ CreateStreamCallback(
    String^ name,
    String^ extension,
    Encoding^ encoding,
    String^ mimeType,
    bool willSeek
)
type CreateStreamCallback = 
    delegate of 
        name:string *
        extension:string *
        encoding:Encoding *
        mimeType:string *
        willSeek:bool -> Stream
Public Delegate Function CreateStreamCallback (
    name As String,
    extension As String,
    encoding As Encoding,
    mimeType As String,
    willSeek As Boolean
) As Stream

Parameters

  • extension
    Type: System.String

    The file name extension to use if a file stream is being created.

  • encoding
    Type: System.Text.Encoding

    An Encoding enumerator value specifying the character encoding of the stream. This may be null if the stream does not contain characters.

  • mimeType
    Type: System.String

    A string containing the MIME type of the stream.

  • willSeek
    Type: System.Boolean

    A Boolean value indicated whether the stream needs to support seeking. If the value is false, the stream will be forward-only and will be sent to the client in chunks as it is created. If the value is true, the stream may be written in any order.

Return Value

Type: System.IO.Stream

A Stream object to which the ReportViewer control can write data.

Remarks

This delegate function may be passed into the M:Microsoft.ReportingServices.LocalReport.Render(Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportRendering.IRenderingExtension,System.String,System.String,Microsoft.ReportingServices.Interfaces.CreateAndRegisterStream,Microsoft.ReportingServices.Warning[]@) method of the P:Microsoft.ReportingServices.WinForms.ReportViewer.LocalReport object to support custom handling of secondary streams. The main body of the report is the first stream that is created.
