Add Reports V2 Module to an Existing XAF Application

• Apr 24, 2026

1. Install the following NuGet packages:

   • DevExpress.ExpressApp.ReportsV2.Blazor
   • DevExpress.ExpressApp.ReportsV2.Win

2. Call the AddReports method in the Startup.cs file of each project that will use Reports. In the method call, specify the ReportDataType property value.

   Files: SolutionName.WebApi\Startup.cs, SolutionName.Blazor.Server\Startup.cs, SolutionName.Win\Startup.cs, SolutionName.MiddleTier\Startup.cs.

   EF Core

   // ...
   builder.Modules
       .AddReports(options => {
           options.ReportDataType = typeof(DevExpress.Persistent.BaseImpl.EF.ReportDataV2);
       // ...
   

   XPO

   // ...
   builder.Modules
       .AddReports(options => {
           options.ReportDataType = typeof(DevExpress.Persistent.BaseImpl.ReportDataV2);
       // ...
   

3. If your application is based on the Entity Framework Core, navigate to the SolutionName.Module\BusinessObjects\SolutionDbContextName.cs file and include the ReportDataV2 class in the data model:

   using DevExpress.Persistent.BaseImpl.EF;
   // ...
   public class SolutionEFCoreDbContextName : DbContext {
       public DbSet<ReportDataV2> ReportData { get; set; }
       // ...
   }
