  To access the list of available rendering extensions, use the ListRenderingExtensions method.

• streamId

• 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.

• mimeType
  The MIME type of the stream.

• encoding
  The Microsoft .NET Framework encoding class name.

Return Value
