   ByVal stream As Stream _
)

public void SaveLayout( 
   Stream stream
)

Parameters

stream: Stream object where the report's layout will be saved.

Remarks

You can use this method to save the report's layout as a stream, then store it in a database or a resource file.

The SaveLayout(Stream) method uses the UTF-16 encoding when you save to a stream.

When using this method, any code behind the report is ignored. To embed code in the report, use Scripting.

private void mnuPrintPreview_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    GrapeCity.ActiveReports.SectionReport rpt = new GrapeCity.ActiveReports.SectionReport();
    System.IO.MemoryStream m_stream = new System.IO.MemoryStream();
    this.designer1.Report.SaveLayout(m_stream);
    m_stream.Position = 0;    
    rpt.LoadLayout(m_stream);
    m_stream.Close();
    frmViewer frm = new frmViewer();    
    frm.SetReport(rpt);
    frm.ShowDialog(this);
}
