public string RunReport(Report report,
	string FileType,
	string FileSubType,

Return Value

A string containing the output of the report or an empty string if the report run failed because of an error or no records matching the filter condition (in that case, check the ErrorMessage property of the ReportEngine object for the reason for failure).

Parameters

The report to run.

Values
The values for any ask-at-runtime conditions. If it is passed, this parameter must be specified as an XML string with the following format: First valueSecond value
