Description |
---|---|
value |
(exp) A string specifying the name of an export template previously saved in the DataWindow painter for the specified DataWindow object |
Usage
This property should be set to specify the logical structure of the XML generated before you call the SaveAs method with XML! as the SaveAsType to save data as an XML document, or use the .Data.XML expression to save data as an XML string.
In the painter
In the Data Export tab in the Properties view for the DataWindow object, select XML from the Format to Configure list and select a template from the Use Template list.
Examples
This example stores the name of the export template used in dw1 in the string ls_template. If no template is selected in dw1, an empty string is returned.
string ls_template_name ls_template_name = dw1.Describe("DataWindow.Export.XML.UseTemplate")
This example sets the name of the current XML export template used in dw1 to t_report. If t_report does not exist, the current template is not changed.
dw1.Modify("DataWindow.Export.XML.UseTemplate = 't_report' ")
