Tip

Smart Paste AI-poweredExtension for WinForms Data Grid and Layout Controls

The following example registers an Azure OpenAI client to use the AI-powered Smart Paste extension to analyze the rawData and intelligently assign the right values to the appropriate items:

using Azure;
using Azure.AI.OpenAI;
using Microsoft.Extensions.AI;
using DevExpress.AIIntegration;
using DevExpress.AIIntegration.Extensions;

SetEnvironmentVariables();

// Register an Azure OpenAI client
AIExtensionsContainerDefault defaultAIExtensionsContainer = RegisterAzureOpenAIClient(
    Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT"),
    Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_OPENAI_APIKEY")
);

string rawData = "The 42 DevAV LED TV is changing the way people watch TV. It delivers crystal-clear images with mind-blowing video. Product Dimensions 42x28x10, Product Weight 70 lbs";
var response = await defaultAIExtensionsContainer.SmartPasteAsync(
    new SmartPasteRequest(rawData, new List<SmartPasteRequest.ItemInfo>() {
        new SmartPasteRequest.ItemInfo("product", "Product Name"),
        new SmartPasteRequest.ItemInfo("weight", "Weight")
    })
);

foreach (SmartPasteResponse.ItemInfo info in response.Values)
    Console.WriteLine(string.Format("{0}: {1}", info.Id, info.Value));

/* Output:
 * product: 42 DevAV LED TV
 * weight: 70 lbs
 */

AIExtensionsContainerDefault RegisterAzureOpenAIClient(string azureOpenAIEndpoint, string azureOpenAIKey) {
    IChatClient client = new Azure.AI.OpenAI.AzureOpenAIClient(new Uri(azureOpenAIEndpoint),
        new System.ClientModel.ApiKeyCredential(azureOpenAIKey)).GetChatClient("gpt-4o-mini").AsIChatClient();

    return AIExtensionsContainerConsole.CreateDefaultAIExtensionContainer(client);
}

void SetEnvironmentVariables() {
    Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT", {SPECIFY_YOUR_AZURE_ENDPOINT});
    Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_OPENAI_APIKEY", {SPECIFY_YOU_AZURE_KEY});
