XtraReports Report | Developer Express Inc. | Document Files |
PRNX (or .prnx) files are formatted and encoded reports typically created with XtraReports, a software library component for creating reports in.NET applications. PRNX files contain formatted data, including styling, a collection of fields, parameters, and more, which are exported from databases. They can also be shared when transferring reports between applications.
Encoding and Formatting
PRNX files are encoded in the binary DCF (DevExpress Code Format) format and include a mixture of text-based and binary components. Reports in PRNX format are designed using bar codes, graphics, multiple layers, mode-less dialogs, and more. The.prnx file can also be converted to an editable format (.mrt), which is read in an HTML editor.
Compatibility and Similar File Types
PRNX files are often opened with the XtraReports Report Designer provided with DevExpress.NET Components, a suite of.NET tools for developing Windows apps. Additionally, since.prnx files are XML-based, they may be imported into other XML-compatible programs such as Microsoft Word. Other similar file types include .prt, .rdl, and .jrxml.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .PRNX) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .PRNX extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .PRNX file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .PRNX extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .PRNX extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .PRNX file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .PRNX file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .PRNX file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .PRNX file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .PRNX file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
