Remarks

The ReportDesignerSettingsBase object allows you to configure the Web End-User Report Designer control. The settings are specified on the client, passed to the server and applied to the report designer model. When a page is rendered, the Web End-User Report Designer control requests the model from the server.

ASP.NET Web Forms & MVC

In ASP.NET Web Forms & MVC applications you can specify settings as follows:

ASP.NET Web Forms

        <SettingsReportPreview SettingsExport-UseSameTab="false" SettingsProgressBar-Position="TopRight" />
        <SettingsWizard UseFullscreenWizard="false" EnableSqlDataSource="false" />
    </dx:ASPxReportDesigner>
</asp:Content>

ASP.NET MVC

@using DevExpress.XtraReports.Web.WebDocumentViewer
@model ReportDesignerModel

@Html.DevExpress().ReportDesigner(settings => {
    settings.Name = "ReportDesigner1";
    settings.AllowMDI = true;
    settings.SettingsDataSource.AllowRemoveDataSource = false;
    settings.SettingsDataSource.AllowAddDataSource = false;
    settings.SettingsReportPreview.SettingsExport.UseSameTab = false;
    settings.SettingsReportPreview.SettingsProgressBar.Position = ProgressBarPosition.TopRight;
    settings.SettingsWizard.UseFullscreenWizard = false;
    settings.SettingsWizard.EnableSqlDataSource = false;
    // Add the created data source to the list of default data sources.
    foreach (var dataSourceItem in Model.DataSources)
        settings.DataSources.Add(dataSourceItem.Key, dataSourceItem.Value);
}).BindToUrl("TestReport").GetHtml()

        </DxReportDesignerReportPreviewSettings>
        <DxReportDesignerWizardSettings UseFullscreenWizard=false EnableSqlDataSource=false />
    </DxReportDesignerModelSettings>

ASP.NET Core

The following code specifies the designer model properties and binds the Report Designer to the designer model:

ASP.NET Core

@using DevExpress.XtraReports.Web.WebDocumentViewer;
@model ReportDesignerCustomModel

@{
    var m = Model.ReportDesignerModel;
    m.AllowMDI = true;
    m.DataSourceSettings.AllowRemoveDataSource = false;
    m.DataSourceSettings.AllowAddDataSource = false;
    m.ReportPreviewSettings.ExportSettings.UseSameTab = false;
    m.ReportPreviewSettings.ProgressBarSettings.Position = ProgressBarPosition.TopRight;
    m.WizardSettings.UseFullscreenWizard = false;
    m.WizardSettings.EnableSqlDataSource = false;


    var designerRender = Html.DevExpress().ReportDesigner("reportDesigner")
        .Height("100%")
        .Bind(Model.ReportDesignerModel);
    @designerRender.RenderHtml()
}

JavaScript Frameworks

You can specify the Report Designer settings on the client side and pass them to the controller action on the server. Add the code that assigns the settings to the model. The controller method returns the model to the client for rendering.

The following code is a custom controller for the Report Designer component. It processes settings passed from the client and assigns them to the model:

CustomReportDesignerController

using DevExpress.AspNetCore.Reporting.ReportDesigner;
using DevExpress.AspNetCore.Reporting.ReportDesigner.Native.Services;
using DevExpress.XtraReports.Web.ReportDesigner;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc
// ...
public class CustomReportDesignerController : ReportDesignerController {
    public CustomReportDesignerController(IReportDesignerMvcControllerService controllerService) : base(controllerService) {
    }
    [HttpPost("[action]")]
    public IActionResult GetDesignerModel(
        [FromForm] string reportUrl,
        [FromForm] ReportDesignerModel designerModelSettings,
        [FromServices] IReportDesignerClientSideModelGenerator modelGenerator) {
        var model = modelGenerator.GetModel(reportUrl, null, ReportDesignerController.DefaultUri, WebDocumentViewerController.DefaultUri, QueryBuilderController.DefaultUri);
        model.Assign(designerModelSettings);
        return DesignerModel(model);
    }
}

The following code specifies the Report Designer settings on the client:

Angular

<dx-report-designer [reportUrl]="reportUrl" height="700px">
    <dxrd-request-options [getDesignerModelAction]="getDesignerModelAction" [host]="hostUrl"></dxrd-request-options>
    <dxrd-designer-model-settings [allowMDI]="true">
        <dxrd-datasource-settings [allowAddDataSource]="false" [allowRemoveDataSource]="false"></dxrd-datasource-settings>
        <dxrd-preview-settings>
            <dxrv-export-settings [useSameTab]="false"></dxrv-export-settings>
            <dxrv-progressbar-settings position="TopRight"></dxrv-progressbar-settings>
        </dxrd-preview-settings>
        <dxrd-wizard-settings [useFullscreenWizard]="false" [enableSqlDataSource]="false"></dxrd-wizard-settings>
    </dxrd-designer-model-settings>
</dx-report-designer>

      <DesignerModelSettings allowMDI={true}>
