  I have a few coded reports (.NET) that I just upgraded to AR16 (from AR 14).
  
  I wonder if there is a way/tools to convert those reports to RDLX reports?

  Hi Diah,

  You can save your Code-Based SectionReport to XML-Based SectionReport (.RPX file) by using the ‘SaveLayout()’ method on your SectionReport.
  
  Then you can use the Import Tool that comes with ActiveReports 16 located at ‘C:\Program Files (x86)\GrapeCity\ActiveReports 16\Tools\GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Imports.Win.exe’ to convert your RPX report to RDLX reports.

  You can learn more about the import tool here: Import RPX.

  Thanks for your response.
  
  My reports are created/coded in a VS project and not a (stand alone) RPX.
  
  What I want to do is to “export” the reports out of my VS project and save them as a stand alone rdlx or rpx.
  
  Is there a way/tool to do that?
  
  I attached screen shots of an example of my report.

  Thanks again

  Hi Diah,

  As mentioned in our previous response you can use the ‘SaveLayout()’ method of your Code-Based SectionReport class to save your report as ‘.RPX’.

  You can learn more about the same here: SaveLayout(XmlWriter) Method.
