NuGet Package: DevExpress.Reporting.Core

Declaration

public static void Register(
    params ICustomFunctionOperator[] functionOperators
)

Parameters

Name Type Description
functionOperators ICustomFunctionOperator[]

A collection of custom functions to register.

Remarks

The Register method allows you to use the specified custom functions in expression bindings and calculated fields. The custom functions are displayed in the list of available functions in the Expression Editor.

You should call the static Register method at application startup:

DevExpress.XtraReports.Expressions.CustomFunctions.Register(new CustomFormatFunction());

To remove a function, so that it is not available in the Expression Editor and won’t be evaluated in expressions, use the static CustomFunctions.Unregister method.
