Script Registration

  • 2 minutes to read

Required Script Libraries

Reporting components for web require the following client-side script libraries for correct operation:

  • jQuery 1.11.3+
  • jQuery UI 1.11.4+ Include the core, widget, mouse, draggable, resizable, and selectable modules, and both JavaScript and CSS files.
  • knockout 3.5.0+

  • Optional. globalize v1.1.1+ Include the cldr scripts first:

    • cldr
    • cldr.event
    • cldr.supplemental

    Next, include the globalize scripts:

    • number
    • currency
    • date
    • message
  • ace.js 1.1.9 This library is required for the Web Report Designer and Query Builder. Include the ext\-language\_tools script.
  • dx.all.js. You should also include the dx.common.css stylesheet along with the theme stylesheet: dx.light.css or dx.dark.css.

Automatic Script Registration (ASP.NET WebForms & MVC)

You can register both Third-Party and DevExtreme libraries automatically in the Web.config file (<resources> section): 

<configuration>  
  <devExpress>  
    ...  
    <resources>  
      <add type="ThirdParty" />  
      <add type="DevExtreme" />  
    </resources>  
  </devExpress>  
</configuration>

Manual Script Registration

ASP.NET WebForms & MVC

To include both Third-Party and DevExtreme libraries manually, leave the resources section in the Web.config file empty.

The empty resources section of your Web.config file should appear as follows to disable automatic registration:

<configuration>  
  <devExpress>  
    ...  
    <resources>  
    </resources>  
  </devExpress>  
</configuration>

All Web Platforms

Include script libraries in the HTML page header section with the <script\> tags, as shown in the following code snippet. Note that the order in which scripts are registered is important. 

<html>  
<head>  
    <script src=".../jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>  

    <link href=".../jquery-ui.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />  
    <script src=".../jquery-ui.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>  

    <script src=".../cldr.js" type="text/javascript"></script>  
    <script src=".../event.js" type="text/javascript"></script>  
    <script src=".../supplemental.js" type="text/javascript"></script>  
    <script src=".../globalize.js" type="text/javascript"></script>  
    <script src=".../number.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src=".../currency.js" type="text/javascript"></script>  
    <script src=".../date.js" type="text/javascript"></script>  
    <script src=".../message.js" type="text/javascript"></script>    

    <script src=".../knockout.js" type="text/javascript"></script>  

    <script src=".../ace.js" type="text/javascript"></script>  
    <script src=".../ext-language_tools.js" type="text/javascript"></script>  

    <link href=".../dx.common.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />  
    <link href=".../dx.light.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />  
    <script src=".../dx.all.js" type="text/javascript"></script>  
    ...  
</head>  
...  
</html>

Note

Insert correct paths to script libraries after you copy the code above to your application.

The empty resources section of your Web.config file should appear as follows to disable automatic registration:

<configuration>  
  <devExpress>  
    ...  
    <resources>  
    </resources>  
  </devExpress>  
</configuration>

View Example: How to register third-party and DevExtreme client-side libraries manually for Web Reporting widgets.

Combination Script Registration (ASP.NET WebForms & MVC)

There is an option to register Third-Party libraries manually and have DevExtreme libraries registered automatically. To implement this option, register DevExtreme libraries in the resources section of your Web.config file: 

<configuration>  
  <devExpress>  
    ...  
    <resources>  
      <add type="DevExtreme" />  
    </resources>  
  </devExpress>  
</configuration>

Note

DevExtreme requires that third-party libraries be included in the page before DevExtreme registration. This means that you cannot register DevExtreme libraries manually and Third-Party libraries automatically.
