Namespace: DevExpress.AspNetCore.Reporting

Assembly: DevExpress.AspNetCore.Reporting.v25.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.AspNetCore.Reporting

Declaration

C#

public ReportDesignerConfigurationBuilder RegisterDataSourceWizardConfigFileMongoDBConnectionStringsProvider()

VB.NET

Public Function RegisterDataSourceWizardConfigFileMongoDBConnectionStringsProvider As ReportDesignerConfigurationBuilder

Returns

Type	Description
ReportDesignerConfigurationBuilder	A ReportDesignerConfigurationBuilder that can be used to further configure the Report Designer services.

Remarks

The Data Source Wizard and Report Wizard uses a connection strings provider to obtain data connections. Once a provider is registered, users can create new data sources based on registered MongoDB connection strings.

To allow users to create MongoDB data sources in ASP.NET Core applications, do the following:

1. Install the MongoDB.Driver NuGet package.
2. Add MongoDB connection strings (for example, mongodb://... or mongodb+srv://...) to the application’s configuration file (appsettings.json).

3. Call the RegisterDataSourceWizardConfigFileMongoDBConnectionStringsProvider method in the ConfigureReportDesigner() builder to register the default MongoDB connection strings provider:

   C#

   using DevExpress.AspNetCore;
   using DevExpress.AspNetCore.Reporting;
   using DevExpress.DataAccess.Web;
   using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting;
   using Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration;
   using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
   
   var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
   
   builder.Services.ConfigureReportingServices(configurator => {
       configurator.ConfigureReportDesigner(designerConfigurator => {
           designerConfigurator.RegisterDataSourceWizardConfigFileMongoDBConnectionStringsProvider();
       });
   });
   
   var app = builder.Build();
   

You can also implement a custom connection string provider for MongoDB. For more information, refer to the following section in the Register MongoDB Data Connections topic: Implement a Custom Connection String Provider.
