//... 

public class Startup {
//... 
    public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) {
        services.AddDevExpressControls();
        services.AddMvc(); 

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