The following example demonstrates how to specify a connection string provider to allow users to create new SQL data sources based on connection strings from the MySolution.Blazor.Server\appsettings.json file:

C# (Startup.cs)

using DevExpress.ExpressApp.Dashboards.Blazor;
// ...
public class Startup {
    // ...
    public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services){
        //...
        services.AddXafDashboards((dashboardConfigurator, services) => {
            var configuration = services.GetRequiredService<IConfiguration>();
            dashboardConfigurator.SetConnectionStringsProvider(new DashboardConnectionStringsProvider(configuration));
        });
        // ...
    }
    // ...
}
