<h5 id="GrapeCity_ActiveReports_Design_Designer_SaveReport_System_IO_FileInfo__remarks">Remarks</h5>
<div class="markdown level1 remarks"><p>This method first ensures that any pending changes to the report are committed by flushing the designer loader. It then delegates the save operation
to the implementation layer, which handles the specifics of saving the report to the file system. The file path is obtained from the FileInfo object.</p>

<p>The following example demonstrates how to save a report to a file:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-csharp">FileInfo reportFile = new FileInfo("path/to/your/report.rdlx");
designer.SaveReport(reportFile);</code></pre>

<h5 id="GrapeCity_ActiveReports_Design_Designer_SaveReport_System_Xml_XmlWriter__remarks">Remarks</h5>
<div class="markdown level1 remarks"><p>This method allows saving the report's XML layout directly to an XmlWriter, providing flexibility in how and where the report is saved.
It checks for a null XmlWriter to avoid exceptions and delegates the save operation to the implementation layer, which handles the serialization
of the report layout.</p>
</div>
<h5 id="GrapeCity_ActiveReports_Design_Designer_SaveReport_System_Xml_XmlWriter__examples">Examples</h5>
<p>The following example demonstrates how to use an XmlWriter to save a report:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-csharp">using (var stream = new FileStream("path/to/your/report.rdlx", FileMode.Create))
using (var writer = XmlWriter.Create(stream))
{
	designer.SaveReport(writer);
}</code></pre>
