What is a REPX file?

REPX files mostly belong to DevExpress XtraReports. The REPX file is a DevExpress report definition file used by the DevExpress XtraReports suite. It holds the layout, formatting, and data binding details that form a report.
These files are saved in an XML-based format (often using UTF-8 encoding), and in some cases the contents are stored in a compressed ZIP format.

Report Definition: It includes the report’s design and configuration settings.

Report Layout: It specifies how data and visual components are arranged.

Compressed Data: Some versions are packaged to reduce file size.

FilExt.com note: You can open a REPX file with a text editor to view its XML structure, but for proper editing and to maintain functionality, it is best to use the DevExpress Report Designer. For more technical details, visit the DevExpress website.

XtraReports (Report Definition File) by Developer Express Inc.
XtraReports helps you create reports for end-users, yet maintain all the capabilities of today's reporting solutions. With full Microsoft Visual Studio .NET integration, XtraReports Suite allows you to build reports in the same exact way you build a typical Windows Forms application. A .REPX file contains information on a report's type name, all the property values, and all the property values of report bands and controls. Note, that the .REPX extension is not mandatory, however it is a standard extension used in XtraReports for files which contain report layouts. This file format is classified as XML.

REPX file format:

Why is it important to know the file format? This is the only way to find out which program to use to open the file. Often, the file format can be deduced from the file extension or the initial bytes (called the signature). However, different programs can use the same file extension, and file extensions can be assigned incorrectly. So you need a detailed analysis of a file to find out the format and the associated program. Below you will find our evaluation of the REPX files:

REPX is a very commonly used file extension and mainly uses a defined REPX format. The file formats most commonly found in REPX files are:

65% of all REPX files belong to DevExpress Report layout. If you open these files in a text editor, you can view and read the content yourself. A typical file size is 100 KB. This file type is based on cutting-edge technology. The following keywords are characteristic: Version, /// <XRTypeInfo>, AssemblyLocation, DevExpress, XtraReports and Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b88d1754d700e49a</AssemblyFullName>. Files like these are about invoice, report, jual, template, faktur, label, order, receipt, print and sales.
25% of all REPX files are DevExpress Report layout files, which are using the popular XML file format. The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a simple text-based format for representing structured information: documents, webpages, data, configuration, books, transactions, invoices, and much more. XML defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. These files contain text and words, not binary data. REPX files can be up to 4 MB in size, but are often around 6 KB - 110 KB. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>, XtraReportsLayoutSerializer SerializerVersion and Ref="1" ControlType="DevExpress.XtraReports.UI.XtraReport. Such files sometimes refer to xtra, bill, barcode, phieu, standard, reports, thermal, detail, simple and code.

All other REPX files (10%) have different formats, the following 4 formats exist: ZIP and XML. Sometimes used for temp, laporan, summary, item, list or product. If you want to find out which format your REPX file belongs to, just click on the button "Choose your .repx file to view".
