Reporting for WinForms - How to Serialize Custom Type Parameters

This example shows how to enable a report parameter of a custom System.Enum type and serialize that parameter so that it can be stored in the report layout file (REPX).

The code does the following:

1. Creates a custom class inherited from the ReportDesignExtension class.
2. Overrides the ReportDesignExtension.AddParameterTypes method to register a custom parameter type.
3. Registers a custom extension using the ReportDesignExtension.RegisterExtension method.
4. Assigns the report to the created extension using the ReportDesignExtension.AssociateReportWithExtension method.
