Caching Data in an XML File

  • Updated

Plugin Description

This plug-in can be used to create a "cached" XML data file from any datalayer within a report. This is particularly useful if you're integrating with 3rd party tools that must read data from a file or if you need to cache the data across multiple reports, users, sessions, etc. This download includes the plug-in .dll, the VB.NET source code for it, and a demo report definition that illustrates how to use it.
