#Printing and Exporting DevExpress WPF Controls
DevExpress data-aware WPF controls (e.g., Data Grid, Pivot Grid) provide functionality to print or export its data. For example, they provide methods used to generate a report and display the preview dialog (see the image below).
With this dialog, an end-user can print or export a report, specify its page and printer settings, or send a report via e-mail.
You can export control data to a file in the following formats: CSV, HTML, MHT, PDF, RTF, TXT, XLS, XLSX, XLSB, XPS, and multiple image formats.
DevExpress WPF controls provide multiple printing options, styles, and templates, allowing you to customize the content and visual presentation of a printed report.
