Contains options used to fix issues on Microsoft Azure websites.

Namespace: DevExpress.Utils

Assembly: DevExpress.Data.v24.2.dll

public static class AzureCompatibility

VB.NET

Public Module AzureCompatibility

Remarks

Set the static AzureCompatibility.Enable property to true at the application startup to resolve issues with rendering and printing on Microsoft Azure websites.

To use the AzureCompatibility.Enable property in your code, add a reference to the DevExpress.Data.v24.2.dll assembly to your project.

• DevExpress Printing Library

The AzureCompatibility.Enable no longer affects these products.

Enable Azure Compatibility in Office File API

To use Office File API products in applications hosted on Microsoft Azure websites, set the AzureCompatibility.Enable property to true at application startup:

ASP.NET MVC

protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    DevExpress.Utils.AzureCompatibility.Enable = true;
}

ASP.NET Core

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env) {
     // ...
     DevExpress.Utils.AzureCompatibility.Enable = true;
}

Take into account the following limitations when you host Reporting applications on Microsoft Azure websites:

• The WinControlContainer controls are rendered as bitmaps despite their ImageType property value.
