Output as HTML (C#)

This code snippet uses the HTMLRenderer class:

// code snippet starts

String designFile = "OrderReport.4rp";
String outputFilename = "SalesList.html";

FormatHandler handler = new FormatWriter(outputFilename);
HTMLRenderer renderer = new HTMLRenderer(handler);
renderer.ignoreColumnAlignment =true;
renderer.embedImages =true;
FourRpLayouter report = new FourRpLayouter(designFile, renderer);

//Run the report 
report.debugLevel = 9;

// some code omitted - view full source in demo

report.runFromSerializable(data);

// open the file
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(outputFilename);

// code snippet ends

In this example:

• A FormatHandler object named handler is defined using the FormatWriter class, taking the name of the output file as its input.
• An object named renderer is defined using the HTMLRenderer class, taking handler as input.
• The ignoreColumnAlignment property is set to true, allowing column alignment of items to be ignored for a more compact representation.
• The embedImages property activates image embedding in the report document.
• FourRpLayouter report = new FourRpLayouter(designFile, renderer) creates the FourRpLayouter object for the specified report file that outputs a HTML file with the provided name.
