AzureReportDesignerContainer.UseAzureEnvironment(String) Method

Enables the Web Report Designer to store information about data connections in an Azure Table storage.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraReports.Web.Azure.ReportDesigner

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraReports.v24.2.Web.Azure.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Web.Reporting.Azure

#Declaration

public static void UseAzureEnvironment(
    string cloudStorageConnectionString
)

#Parameters

Name Type Description
cloudStorageConnectionString String

A String value, specifying the connection to Azure Cloud Storage.

#Remarks

By default, the Web Report Designer encrypts all information about data connections, which is passed to the client. To store this information in an Azure Table storage instead, call the UseAzureEnvironment method with the specified connection to Azure Cloud Storage at the application startup.

using DevExpress.XtraReports.Web.Azure.ReportDesigner;
// ...

protected void Application_Start(object sender, System.EventArgs e) {
    AzureReportDesignerContainer.UseAzureEnvironment(cloudStorageConnectionString);
}

The Web Report Designer uses the Web Document Viewer internally to display a print preview. To enable the Report Designer to run on Azure, call the AzureWebDocumentViewerContainer.UseAzureEnvironment method.
