ReportPreviewSettingsBuilder.SearchSettings(Action<SearchSettings>) Method

Allows you to specify Report Designer Preview search settings.

Namespace: DevExpress.AspNetCore.Reporting.ReportDesigner

Assembly: DevExpress.AspNetCore.Reporting.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.AspNetCore.Reporting

#Declaration

#Parameters

Name Type Description
configure Action<SearchSettings>

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 SearchSettings 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:

SearchEnabled
Allows you to hide the search actions.
UseAsyncSearch
Specifies whether the Web Document Viewer uses asynchronous search.

The following code snippet hides Search buttons (Ribbon and Side Panel) in the Report Designer Preview:

cshtml
@{
    var designerRender = Html.DevExpress().ReportDesigner("reportDesigner")
        .Height("100%")
        .ReportPreviewSettings(
            p=>p.SearchSettings(
                s=>s.SearchEnabled = 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:

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