How to: Configure the Report Service Client via the ServiceReferences.ClientConfig File

• May 22, 2020

This sample shows how you can use the ServiceReferences.ClientConfig file to configure the client options of your DevExpress.XtraReports.Service.ReportService.

The ServiceReferences.ClientConfig file's content is shown below.

XML

<configuration>
    <system.serviceModel>
      <bindings>
        <basicHttpBinding>
          <binding name="basicBindingConfiguration"
                   closeTimeout="00:33:00"
                   openTimeout="00:33:00"
                   sendTimeout="00:33:00"
                   receiveTimeout="00:33:00"/>
        </basicHttpBinding>
      </bindings>
      <client>
        <endpoint name="endpointConfiguration"
                  address="../ReportService1.svc"
                  binding="basicHttpBinding"
                  bindingConfiguration="basicBindingConfiguration"
                  contract="ServiceReference.IReportService" />
      </client>
    </system.serviceModel>
</configuration>

Note that you cannot set the ReportServicePreviewModel.ServiceUri property to an empty string, so you should always assign at least a fake value to it in XAML.

The result is shown in the following image.
