Exporting reports

List & Label Cross Platform (LLCP) supports multiple export targets for server-side and automated reporting workflows.

Use ExportConfiguration together with LlExportTarget to select the output format and destination.

Available export formats

The following targets are currently available:

Format	Target	Output	Package
PDF	`Pdf`	`.pdf`	`combit.ListLabel31.CrossPlatform`
JSON	`Json`	`.json`	`combit.ListLabel31.CrossPlatform`
CSV	`Csv`	`.csv`	`combit.ListLabel31.CrossPlatform`
PNG	`Png`	`.png`	`combit.ListLabel31.CrossPlatform`
JPEG	`Jpeg`	`.jpeg`	`combit.ListLabel31.CrossPlatform`
SVG	`Svg`	`.svg`	`combit.ListLabel31.CrossPlatform`
Excel (OpenXML)	`Xlsx`	`.xlsx`	`combit.ListLabel31.CrossPlatform.Export.OpenXml`

Note

The core package covers PDF, JSON, CSV, and image exports.
Excel export (Xlsx) is provided separately through the OpenXml package.

Installing export packages

Install the core package:

dotnet add package combit.ListLabel31.CrossPlatform

Install the OpenXml Excel export package when you need Xlsx output:

dotnet add package combit.ListLabel31.CrossPlatform.Export.OpenXml

Warning

If LlExportTarget.Xlsx is used without the OpenXml package, XLSX export is not available at runtime.

Basic export example

using combit.Reporting;

ListLabel listLabel = new ListLabel
{
    DataSource = GetDataSource(),
    AutoProjectFile = "reports/invoice.json",
    LicensingInfo = "..."
};

ExportConfiguration exportConfiguration = new ExportConfiguration(
    LlExportTarget.Pdf,
    "output/invoice.pdf",
    listLabel.AutoProjectFile);

listLabel.Export(exportConfiguration);

Export to specific formats

Use the same pattern and switch only the target and output file:

new ExportConfiguration(LlExportTarget.Json, "output/report.json", projectFile);
new ExportConfiguration(LlExportTarget.Csv, "output/report.csv", projectFile);
new ExportConfiguration(LlExportTarget.Png, "output/report.png", projectFile);
new ExportConfiguration(LlExportTarget.Xlsx, "output/report.xlsx", projectFile);

Choosing the right format

Use case	Recommended format
Printable document exchange	PDF
Structured data exchange	JSON
Spreadsheet-style tabular export	CSV or XLSX
Visual snapshots or previews	PNG or JPEG
Scalable vector output	SVG
