NuGet Package: DevExpress.AspNetCore.Reporting

Declaration

public ReportPreviewSettingsBuilder ExportSettings(
    Action<ExportSettings> configure
)

VB.NET

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
configure	Action<ExportSettings>	A delegate method that includes search settings.

Returns

Type	Description
ReportPreviewSettingsBuilder	A ReportPreviewSettingsBuilder object that can be used to further configure the Report Designer Preview.

Remarks

The ExportSettings method allows you to hide search actions or disable asynchronous search in Document Preview in Web Reporting.

This property gives you access to the following properties:

ShowPrintNotificationDialog

Specifies whether to display an additional dialog that allows users to download the PDF file sent to printing.

UseAsynchronousExport

Allows you to export documents asynchronously.

UseSameTab

Specifies whether to print and export documents in the browser tab that contains the Document Viewer.

The following code snippet hides an additional dialog that allows users to download the PDF file sent to printing:

@{
    var designerRender = Html.DevExpress().ReportDesigner("reportDesigner")
        .Height("100%")
        .ReportPreviewSettings(
            p=>p.ExportSettings(
                s=>s.ShowPrintNotificationDialog = false))
        .Bind(new TestReport());
    @designerRender.RenderHtml()
}

If you bind the Web Report Designer control to a ReportDesignerModel object, use the ReportPreviewSettings(Action<ReportPreviewSettings>) property instead:

HomeController.cs

public class HomeController : Controller {
        public IActionResult ReportDesigner(
            // ...
            var designerModel = reportDesignerModelBuilder
                .Report(reportName)
                .ReportPreviewSettings(
                    p => p.ExportSettings.ShowPrintNotificationDialog = false)
                .DataSources(x => {
                    x.Add("Northwind", ds);
                })
                .BuildModel();
            return View(designerModel);
        }
}
