Library Version Validation

The DevExpress Web Reporting application relies on a server-side application to process reports. The version of the DevExpress scripts (npm packages) should match the version of the server-side libraries (NuGet packages). You can enable Development Mode to check for library version mismatch on every request to the server:

Startup.cs

public class Startup {
    // ...
    public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) {
        // ...
        services.ConfigureReportingServices(configurator => {
            configurator.UseDevelopmentMode();
      // You can disable version validation manually:
      // configurator.UseDevelopmentMode(x => x.CheckClientLibraryVersions = false);
            // ...
        });
        // ...
    }
}

If versions do not match, the warning is written to the log:
