About XtraPrinting Library

Render, print and export your UI.

XtraPrinting Library helps you render, print or export the contents of advanced DevExpress presentation controls and address the reporting/information sharing needs of your end-users without manually creating a single report. The DevExpress Printing System takes the controls you use within an application and renders their contents using a simple method call. So when users sort, group and filter the contents of a grid, manipulate the dimensions of a pivot table, or add an event to their daily schedule, a report is a single line of code away from output. And it's not just available in printed form, a full set of data export options (PDF, XLS, HTML, etc) is built-in.

User Interface Based Reporting
The Xtra Printing Library provides built-in support for the following DevExpress WinForms Controls:

  • Xtra Grid
  • Xtra Pivot Grid
  • Xtra Tree List
  • Xtra Vertical Grid
  • Xtra Scheduler
  • Xtra Charts
  • Xtra Layout
  • Xtra Gauges

It also ships with support for standard Microsoft controls like the Grid View, TreeView, ListView and RichEdit.

When used in conjunction with these presentation controls, the Xtra Printing Library will significantly reduce the number of banded reports you would otherwise be forced to create by simply rendering the contents of the presentation controls with a simple method call. Whether it's a list of contacts displayed within a Grid, sales related information within a PivotGrid, or financial trends within a chart, the UI you deliver can be rendered, printed or exported to multiple file formats with ease.

Print Your UI
To deliver the perfect end-user experience, the print preview capabilities of the Xtra Printing Library provide you countless customization options both at design and runtime. These include:

  • Facing and Continuous Page Layout
  • Multiple Pages Layout

Export Your UI
When a report is previewed, it can be optionally exported to one of the following formats:

  • File Formats: PDF, HTML, MHT, TXT, CSV, XLS, XLSX, RTF
  • Image formats: BMP, JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, EMF
  • The Print Preview has built-in functionality that allows you to send exported documents via Email with a single button click.
