    Remarks

    The SaveLayout(String) method uses the UTF-8 encoding, and the SaveLayout(Stream) method uses the UTF-16 encoding  for saving.

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

    SectionReport1 ar = new SectionReport1();
System.Xml.XmlTextWriter xtw = new System.Xml.XmlTextWriter("\\report.rpx", null);
ar.SaveLayout(xtw);
xtw.Close();

// saving to stream
System.IO.MemoryStream memory_stream = new System.IO.MemoryStream();
using (System.Xml.XmlWriter writer = System.Xml.XmlWriter.Create(memory_stream))
{
    ar.SaveLayout(writer);
}
 
// saving to string
System.Text.StringBuilder layoutContent = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
using (System.Xml.XmlWriter writer = System.Xml.XmlWriter.Create(layoutContent))
{
    ar.SaveLayout(writer);
}
    Dim ar As New SectionReport1()
Dim xtw As New System.Xml.XmlTextWriter("\report.rpx", Nothing)
