Syntax

public class ReportXmlSerializer : IXmlSerializer

Constructors

ReportXmlSerializer()

Initializes a new instance of the ReportXmlSerializer class.

Declaration

public ReportXmlSerializer()

Methods

Deserialize(Stream)

Deserializes the XML document contained by the specified System.IO.Stream.

Declaration

public object Deserialize(Stream stream)

Parameters

System.IO.Stream stream The System.IO.Stream that contains the XML document to deserialize.

Returns

System.Object The Telerik.Reporting object being deserialized.

Remarks

Use the stream parameter to specify an object that derives from the System.IO.Stream class, which is designed to write to streams. Classes that derive from the System.IO.Stream class include: System.IO.BufferedStream, System.IO.FileStream, System.IO.MemoryStream, etc.

Examples

The following example deserializes an object using a System.IO.Stream:

using (System.IO.FileStream fileStream = new System.IO.FileStream("Report1.xml", System.IO.FileMode.Open, System.IO.FileAccess.Read))
{
    Telerik.Reporting.XmlSerialization.ReportXmlSerializer xmlSerializer =
        new Telerik.Reporting.XmlSerialization.ReportXmlSerializer();

    Telerik.Reporting.Report report = (Telerik.Reporting.Report)
        xmlSerializer.Deserialize(fileStream);
}

Using fileStream As New System.IO.FileStream("Report1.xml", System.IO.FileMode.Open, System.IO.FileAccess.Read)
    Dim xmlSerializer As New Telerik.Reporting.XmlSerialization.ReportXmlSerializer()

    Dim report As Telerik.Reporting.Report = DirectCast(xmlSerializer.Deserialize(fileStream), Telerik.Reporting.Report)
End Using

Deserialize(TextReader)

Deserializes the XML document contained by the specified System.IO.TextReader.

Declaration

public object Deserialize(TextReader reader)

Parameters

System.IO.TextReader reader The System.IO.TextReader that contains the XML document to deserialize.

Returns

System.Object The Telerik.Reporting object being deserialized.

Remarks

Classes that inherit from System.IO.TextReader include System.IO.StringReader and System.IO.StreamReader. If you are using a System.IO.StreamReader to deserialize an object, you must construct the System.IO.StreamReader with an appropriate System.Text.Encoding. The encoding specified by the XML document is ignored.

Examples

The following example deserializes an object using a System.IO.TextReader:

using (System.IO.FileStream fileStream = new System.IO.FileStream("Report1.xml", System.IO.FileMode.Open, System.IO.FileAccess.Read))
using (System.IO.TextReader textReader = new System.IO.StreamReader(fileStream))
{
    Telerik.Reporting.XmlSerialization.ReportXmlSerializer xmlSerializer =
        new Telerik.Reporting.XmlSerialization.ReportXmlSerializer();

    Telerik.Reporting.Report report = (Telerik.Reporting.Report)
        xmlSerializer.Deserialize(textReader);
}

Using fileStream As New System.IO.FileStream("Report1.xml", System.IO.FileMode.Open, System.IO.FileAccess.Read)
    Using textReader As System.IO.TextReader = New System.IO.StreamReader(fileStream)
        Dim xmlSerializer As New Telerik.Reporting.XmlSerialization.ReportXmlSerializer()

        Dim report As Telerik.Reporting.Report = DirectCast(xmlSerializer.Deserialize(textReader), Telerik.Reporting.Report)
    End Using
End Using

Deserialize(String)

Deserializes the XML document from the specified URI.

Declaration

public object Deserialize(string inputUri)

Parameters

System.String inputUri The URI for the file containing the XML data.

Returns

System.Object The Telerik.Reporting object being deserialized.

Examples

The following example deserializes an object using a URI:

Telerik.Reporting.XmlSerialization.ReportXmlSerializer xmlSerializer =
    new Telerik.Reporting.XmlSerialization.ReportXmlSerializer();

Telerik.Reporting.Report report = (Telerik.Reporting.Report)
    xmlSerializer.Deserialize("Report1.xml");

Dim xmlSerializer As New Telerik.Reporting.XmlSerialization.ReportXmlSerializer()

Dim report As Telerik.Reporting.Report = DirectCast(xmlSerializer.Deserialize("Report1.xml"), Telerik.Reporting.Report)

Deserialize(XmlReader)

Deserializes the XML document contained by the specified System.Xml.XmlReader.

Declaration

public object Deserialize(XmlReader reader)

Parameters

System.Xml.XmlReader reader The System.Xml.XmlReader that contains the XML document to deserialize.

Returns

System.Object The Telerik.Reporting object being deserialized.

Examples

The following example deserializes an object using a System.Xml.XmlReader:

System.Xml.XmlReaderSettings settings = new System.Xml.XmlReaderSettings();
settings.IgnoreWhitespace = true;

using (System.Xml.XmlReader xmlReader = System.Xml.XmlReader.Create("Report1.xml", settings))
{
    Telerik.Reporting.XmlSerialization.ReportXmlSerializer xmlSerializer =
        new Telerik.Reporting.XmlSerialization.ReportXmlSerializer();

    Telerik.Reporting.Report report = (Telerik.Reporting.Report)
        xmlSerializer.Deserialize(xmlReader);
}

Dim settings As New XmlReaderSettings()
settings.IgnoreWhitespace = True

Using xmlReader As System.Xml.XmlReader = System.Xml.XmlReader.Create("Report1.xml", settings)
    Dim xmlSerializer As New Telerik.Reporting.XmlSerialization.ReportXmlSerializer()

    Dim report As Telerik.Reporting.Report = DirectCast(xmlSerializer.Deserialize(xmlReader), Telerik.Reporting.Report)
End Using

Serialize(Stream, Object)

Serializes the specified value and writes the XML document to the specified System.IO.Stream.

Declaration

public void Serialize(Stream stream, object value)

Parameters

System.IO.Stream stream The System.IO.Stream used to write the XML document.

System.Object value The value to serialize.

Remarks

Use the stream parameter to specify an object that derives from the abstract System.IO.Stream class. Classes that derive from the System.IO.Stream class include: System.IO.BufferedStream, System.IO.FileStream, System.IO.MemoryStream, etc.

Examples

The following examples serializes an object using a System.IO.Stream:

using (System.IO.Stream stream = new System.IO.FileStream("Report.xml", System.IO.FileMode.Create))
{
    Telerik.Reporting.XmlSerialization.ReportXmlSerializer xmlSerializer =
        new Telerik.Reporting.XmlSerialization.ReportXmlSerializer();

System.IO.TextWriter writer The System.IO.TextWriter used to write the XML document.

System.Object value The value to serialize.

Remarks

In the textWriter parameter, specify an object that derives from the abstract System.IO.TextWriter class. Classes that derive from the System.IO.TextWriter class include: System.IO.StreamWriter, System.IO.StringWriter, etc.

Examples

The following examples serializes an object using a System.IO.TextWriter:

using (System.IO.FileStream fs = new System.IO.FileStream("Report.xml", FileMode.Create))
using (System.IO.TextWriter writer = new System.IO.StreamWriter(fs, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8))
{
    Telerik.Reporting.XmlSerialization.ReportXmlSerializer xmlSerializer =
        new Telerik.Reporting.XmlSerialization.ReportXmlSerializer();

    xmlSerializer.Serialize(writer, report);
}

Using fs As New System.IO.FileStream("Report.xml", System.IO.FileMode.Create)

End Using

Serialize(String, Object)

Serializes the specified value and writes the XML document to a file with the specified file name.

Declaration

public void Serialize(string fileName, object value)

System.String fileName The file which you want to write to. The ReportXmlSerializer creates a file at the specified path and writes to it in XML 1.0 text syntax. The fileName must be a file system path.

System.Object value The value to serialize.

Examples

The following example serializes an object using a file path:

Telerik.Reporting.XmlSerialization.ReportXmlSerializer xmlSerializer =
    new Telerik.Reporting.XmlSerialization.ReportXmlSerializer();

Dim xmlSerializer As New Telerik.Reporting.XmlSerialization.ReportXmlSerializer()

xmlSerializer.Serialize("Report.xml", report)

Serialize(XmlWriter, Object)

Serializes the specified value and writes the XML document to the specified System.Xml.XmlWriter.

Parameters

System.Xml.XmlWriter writer The System.Xml.XmlWriter used to write the XML document.

using (System.Xml.XmlWriter xmlWriter = System.Xml.XmlWriter.Create("SerializedReport.xml"))
{
    Telerik.Reporting.XmlSerialization.ReportXmlSerializer xmlSerializer =

    xmlSerializer.Serialize(xmlWriter, report);
}

Using xmlWriter As System.Xml.XmlWriter = System.Xml.XmlWriter.Create("SerializedReport.xml")
    Dim xmlSerializer As New Telerik.Reporting.XmlSerialization.ReportXmlSerializer()
