AI-powered Extensions for DevExpress WinForms Report Designer

The DevExpress.AIIntegration.WinForms.Reporting package provides AI-powered extensions for the DevExpress WinForms Report Designer. These extensions allow users to create, modify, and localize reports with natural language commands.

Key Features

  • "Prompt-to-Report" - Users can create a report layout from a natural language description.
  • Modify Reports - Users can chat with an AI Assistant to adjust a report layout. This functionality is available in applications that target .NET 8 or later.
  • AI-generated Test Data - An AI assistant can generate test data so users can preview reports without connecting to a live data source.
  • Localize Reports - Users can click "Localize with AI" in the Localization Editor to translate all localizable property values into the selected language.
  • "Prompt-to-Expression" - Users can create valid expressions from natural language descriptions.

Examples

  1. In a WinForms application with the ReportDesigner component, install the DevExpress AI Integration package:

    dotnet add package DevExpress.AIIntegration.WinForms.Reporting

  2. Install packages required for your preferred AI service. See supported AI services for additional information.

  3. Register your AI service at application startup:

    using Azure.AI.OpenAI;
using DevExpress.AIIntegration;
using Microsoft.Extensions.AI;
using System.ClientModel;

internal static class Program {
    static string AzureOpenAIEndpoint { get { return "AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT"; } }
    static string AzureOpenAIKey { get { return "AZURE_OPENAI_APIKEY"; } }
    static string DeploymentName { get { return "MODEL_NAME"; } } // For example, gpt-5.2.
    [STAThread]
    static void Main(){
        IChatClient client = new AzureOpenAIClient(
            new Uri(AzureOpenAIEndpoint),
            new ApiKeyCredential(AzureOpenAIKey))
                .GetChatClient(DeploymentName).AsIChatClient(); 
        AIExtensionsContainerDesktop.Default.RegisterChatClient(client);
        ApplicationConfiguration.Initialize();
        Application.Run(new Form1());
    }
}

  4. Register required extensions (behaviors) and attach them to the WinForms Report Designer control:

    using DevExpress.AIIntegration.WinForms.Reporting;
// ...
public partial class Form1 : Form {
    public Form1() {
        InitializeComponent();
        behaviorManager1.Attach<ReportPromptToReportBehavior>(reportDesigner1, behavior => {
        // ...
        });
    }
}

  5. Call the BehaviorInitializer.Initialize() method at application startup if your project targets the .NET Framework and you create AI-powered behaviors in code.

    internal static class Program {
    [STAThread]
    static void Main() {
        //...
        // The Initialize() method forcibly initializes the behavior manager in .NET Framework apps.
        DevExpress.AIIntegration.WinForms.Reporting.BehaviorInitializer.Initialize();
        Application.Run(new Form1());
    }
}
