SECURITY-RELATED CONSIDERATIONS

This API includes automatic prompt-injection protection for text and document-based AI-powered extensions. The system appends security instructions to each AI request to ensure that external or user-provided content is treated as untrusted data.

Prompt Injection Protection in AI Extensions

Transforms text into more understandable terms making complex content more accessible and understandable.

Namespace: DevExpress.AIIntegration.WinForms

Assembly: DevExpress.AIIntegration.WinForms.v26.1.dll

Declaration

C#

public sealed class ExplainBehavior :
    ChangeTextBehaviorBase

VB.NET

Public NotInheritable Class ExplainBehavior
    Inherits ChangeTextBehaviorBase

Remarks

The following code snippet registers an ExplainBehavior and assigns it to a MemoEdit control:

C#

using DevExpress.AIIntegration.WinForms;

//...
public partial class Forms : DevExpress.XtraEditors.XtraForm {
    public MemoEdit() {
        InitializeComponent();
        behaviorManager1.Attach<ExplainBehavior>(memoEdit1, behavior => {
            //behavior.Properties.Temperature = 0.6f;
            //behavior.Properties.PromptAugmentation = "Always translate the result into English.";
        });
    }
}

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.AIIntegration.WinForms

'...
Partial Public Class Forms
    Inherits DevExpress.XtraEditors.XtraForm

    Private Function MemoEdit() As Public
        InitializeComponent()
        behaviorManager1.Attach(Of ExplainBehavior)(memoEdit1, Sub(behavior)
            'behavior.Properties.Temperature = CSng(0.5)
            'behavior.Properties.PromptAugmentation = "Always translate the result into English."
        End Sub)
    End Function
End Class

Note

Call the BehaviorInitializer.Initialize() method at application startup if your project targets the .NET Framework and you create AI-powered behaviors in code. Otherwise, an exception is thrown.

internal static class Program {
    [STAThread]
    static void Main() {
        //...
        // The Initialize() method forcibly initializes the behavior manager in .NET Framework apps.
        DevExpress.AIIntegration.WinForms.BehaviorInitializer.Initialize();
        Application.Run(new Form1());
    }
}
