DevExpress.AIIntegration.Reporting.Common 26.1.5

AI-powered Extensions for DevExpress Reports

This package implements AI integration infrastructure for DevExpress Reporting. Use it to create or modify reports in code with your preferred AI assistant. The package also includes classes and interfaces that provide core functionality for platform-specific DevExpress AI-powered extensions and services.

Key Features

• Includes common model classes and interfaces shared by all DevExpress Reporting AI integration packages.
• Provides cross-platform extensions for AI-powered Reporting features, such as AI-assisted report generation.

Example

The following code sample initializes an AI client, creates a report request, and generates a report based on a user prompt:

using DevExpress.AIIntegration.Reporting.Common.Extensions;
using DevExpress.AIIntegration;
using Reporting.Generation.Console;
using DevExpress.XtraReports.UI;

// Retrieve the Azure OpenAI endpoint, key, and model from user environment variables.
string endpoint = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT", EnvironmentVariableTarget.User) ?? throw new InvalidOperationException("AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT is not set.");
string apiKey = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY", EnvironmentVariableTarget.User) ?? throw new InvalidOperationException("AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY is not set.");
string deploymentName = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT", EnvironmentVariableTarget.User) ?? "gpt-5.2";
// Create an Azure OpenAI client to work with the chat agent.
IChatClient chatClient = new AzureOpenAIClient(new Uri(endpoint), new ApiKeyCredential(apiKey))
    .GetChatClient(deploymentName)
    .AsIChatClient();
// Register chat client and reporting extensions.
AIExtensionsContainerDefault container = AIExtensionsContainerConsole.CreateDefaultAIExtensionContainer(chatClient);
container.RegisterReportingExtensions();
// Ask the user for a report description in natural language.
Console.WriteLine("Specify a prompt to generate the report:");
string prompt = Console.ReadLine();
try {
    // Create a host to handle clarification questions and progress notifications.
    ConsoleAIReportGenerationHost host = new ConsoleAIReportGenerationHost();
    // Build a generation request from the user prompt.
    PromptToReportRequest generationRequest = new PromptToReportRequest(userPrompt: prompt, dataSourceSchema: null, report: null) {
        ReportGenerationHost = host,
        FixLayoutErrors = true
    };
    // Generate a report layout and save it to a REPX file.
    XtraReport report = await container.GeneratePromptToReportAsync(generationRequest, default);
    report.SaveLayoutToXml("generatedReport.repx");
} catch (Exception ex) {
    Console.WriteLine($"Report generation failed: {ex.Message}");
}
