DevExpress.Reporting.Core 26.1.5

DevExpress Reports - Core Components

The DevExpress.Reporting.Core package is the foundation of DevExpress Reporting. It implements the core reporting engine, including the XtraReport class, report bands and controls, data binding, and export capabilities across all supported platforms (WinForms, WPF, ASP.NET Core, Blazor, and console or server-side applications). Use this package to create, customize, and export reports without a dependency on a platform-specific UI.

Key Features

• Create reports with a wide range of bands and controls, including labels, tables, charts, barcodes, images, and rich text.
• Bind reports to multiple data source types, including SQL databases, JSON, Excel, XPO, Entity Framework, and object data sources.
• Export reports to PDF, DOCX, XLSX, HTML, RTF, CSV, image formats, and more.
• Use calculated fields, summary functions, and expression-based formatting to transform and present data.
• Apply report parameters to filter and customize report output at runtime.
• Generate reports in server-side, headless, and cross-platform .NET applications.

Examples

Example #1: Create a Report and Export It to PDF

using DevExpress.XtraReports.UI;

// Create a new report instance
var report = new XtraReport();

// Add a Detail band
var detailBand = new DetailBand { HeightF = 50 };
report.Bands.Add(detailBand);

// Add a label to the Detail band
var label = new XRLabel
{
    Text = "Hello from DevExpress Reporting!",
    WidthF = 300,
    HeightF = 30
};
detailBand.Controls.Add(label);

// Export the report to PDF
report.ExportToPdf("output.pdf");

Example #2: Bind a Report to a JSON Data Source

using DevExpress.DataAccess.Json;
using DevExpress.XtraReports.UI;

// Create a JSON data source
var jsonDataSource = new JsonDataSource
{
    JsonSource = new UriJsonSource(new Uri("https://example.com/api/data"))
};
jsonDataSource.Fill();

// Assign the data source to the report
var report = new XtraReport
{
    DataSource = jsonDataSource,
    DataMember = "Root"
};

report.ExportToXlsx("output.xlsx");
