Add Reports V2 Module to an Existing XAF Application

  • 2 minutes to read

To add the Reports V2 module to an existing XAF application, install the appropriate NuGet package:

Platform Module NuGet package
platform-agnostic ReportsModuleV2 DevExpress.ExpressApp.ReportsV2
ASP.NET Core Blazor DevExpress.ExpressApp.ReportsV2.Blazor.ReportsBlazorModuleV2 DevExpress.ExpressApp.ReportsV2.Blazor
WinForms ReportsWindowsFormsModuleV2 DevExpress.ExpressApp.ReportsV2.Win
ASP.NET Web Forms ReportsAspNetModuleV2 DevExpress.ExpressApp.ReportsV2.Web

Next, use either of the following techniques:

The following additional steps may be required:

Entity Framework Core-Based Application

  1. Navigate to the MySolution.Module\BusinessObjects\MySolutionDbContext.cs file and include the ReportDataV2 entity in the data model:

    using DevExpress.Persistent.BaseImpl.EF;
    // ...
    public class MySolutionEFCoreDbContext : DbContext {
        // ...
        public DbSet<ReportDataV2> ReportData { get; set; }
        // ...
    }
    
  2. Navigate to the MySolution.Blazor.Server\Startup.cs file (ASP.NET Core Blazor) or the MySolution.Win\Startup.cs file (Windows Forms) and specify the ReportDataType explicitly:

    // ...
    builder.Modules
        .AddReports(options => {
            options.EnableInplaceReports = true;
            options.ReportDataType = typeof(DevExpress.Persistent.BaseImpl.EF.ReportDataV2);
            options.ReportStoreMode = DevExpress.ExpressApp.ReportsV2.ReportStoreModes.XML;
        })
    

ASP.NET Core Blazor Application Without Application Builder

  1. Navigate to the MySolution.Blazor.Server\Startup.cs file and call AddXafReporting in the Startup.ConfigureServices method to register the Reports V2 Module services in IServiceCollection:

    using DevExpress.ExpressApp.ReportsV2.Blazor;
    // ...
    public class Startup {
        // ...
        public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services){
            //...
            services.AddXafReporting();
        }
        // ...
    }
