Remarks

This is an extension method for the application’s service collection (IServiceCollection). Call this method at the application startup. This makes the reporting services you register in the service collection available within the application and in the Configure method.

The code below registers a custom IDataSourceWizardConnectionStringsProvider service for the Web Report Designer at the application startup.

C#

using DevExpress.AspNetCore;
using DevExpress.AspNetCore.Reporting;

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.Services.AddDevExpressControls();
builder.Services.AddMvc(); 

builder.Services.ConfigureReportingServices(configurator => {
    configurator.ConfigureReportDesigner(designerConfigurator => {
        designerConfigurator.RegisterDataSourceWizardConnectionStringsProvider<customProvider>();
    });
});  

var app = builder.Build();
