JScript does not support passing value-type arguments by reference.

Parameters

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

  In local processing mode, supported extensions are Excel, PDF, Word, and Image. In remote processing mode, supported extensions depend on the extensions supported by the report server.

  You can access the list of available rendering extensions using 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.

• pageCountMode
  A PageCountMode enumeration value that specifies the page count mode.

• mimeType
  [out] The MIME type of the rendered report.

• encoding
  [out] The encoding used when rendering the contents of the report.

• fileNameExtension
  [out] The filename extension used for the output file.

• streams
  [out] The stream identifiers. You can use them to render the external resources (images, etc.) that are associated with the report.

• warnings
  [out] An array of Warning objects that describes any warnings that occurred during report processing.

Return Value

A byte array of the report in the specified format.

Remarks

See the GetTotalPages method for the effects of the pageCountMode parameter on the total number of pages.
