  In local processing mode, supported extensions are Excel, PDF, Word, and Image. In remote processing mode, supported extensions depend on the extensions supported by the report server.

  You can access the list of available rendering extensions using the ListRenderingExtensions method in ServerReport or LocalReport, depending on the processing mode (see ProcessingMode).

• deviceInfo
  An XML string that contains the device-specific content that is required by the rendering extension specified in the format parameter. For more information about device information settings for specific output formats, see Device Information Settings in SQL Server Books Online.

Return Value

A byte array of the report in the specified format.
