DevExpress.AIIntegration.Wpf.Reporting

AI-powered Extensions for DevExpress WPF Report Designer

The DevExpress.AIIntegration.WPF.Reporting package implements AI-powered extensions for DevExpress WPF Report Designer. Included extensions allow users to create, modify, and localize reports using natural language commands.

Key Features

• "Prompt-to-Report" functionality - users can create a report layout by simply specifying a report description in natural language.
• Modify Reports - users can chat with an AI Assistant to make adjustments to your report layout. This functionality is available in applications that target .NET 8+.
• AI-generated Test Data - an AI assistant can generate test data so that users can preview reports without connecting to a live data source.
• Localize Reports - users can press "Localize with AI" in the Localization Editor to translate all localizable property values to the selected language.
• "Prompt-to-Expression" functionality - users can create valid expressions by simply specifying their descriptions in natural language.

Examples

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

   dotnet add package DevExpress.AIIntegration.WPF.Reporting
   

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

3. Register your AI service at the application startup:

   using DevExpress.AIIntegration;
   using DevExpress.Xpf.Core;
   using Azure.AI.OpenAI;
   using Microsoft.Extensions.AI;
   using System;
   using System.ClientModel;
   using System.Windows;
   
   namespace DXReportsAILocalization {
       public partial class App : Application {
           static App() {
               CompatibilitySettings.UseLightweightThemes = true;
               var container = AIExtensionsContainerDesktop.Default;
   
               IChatClient chatClient = new AzureOpenAIClient(AzureOpenAIEndpoint, AzureOpenAIKey)
                   .GetChatClient(ModelId).AsIChatClient();
   
               container.RegisterChatClient(chatClient);
           }
   
           private static Uri AzureOpenAIEndpoint = new Uri("YOUR_AZURE_OPENAI_END_POINT");
           private static ApiKeyCredential AzureOpenAIKey = new ApiKeyCredential("YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY");
           static string ModelId = "YOUR_MODEL_NAME"; // For example, "gpt-5.4".
       }
   }
   

4. Attach the Prompt-to-Report behavior in XAML or in code-behind.

   XAML:

    ```xaml
    xmlns:dxrud="http://schemas.devexpress.com/winfx/2008/xaml/reports/userdesigner" 
    xmlns:dxai="http://schemas.devexpress.com/winfx/2008/xaml/ai" 
    xmlns:dxmvvm="http://schemas.devexpress.com/winfx/2008/xaml/mvvm"  
    ... 
    <dxrud:ReportDesigner x:Name="designer">
        <dxmvvm:Interaction.Behaviors>
            <dxai:ReportPromptToReportBehavior/>
        </dxmvvm:Interaction.Behaviors>
    </dxrud:ReportDesigner>
    ```
   

   Code-Behind:

    ```csharp
    using DevExpress.AIIntegration.Wpf.Reporting;
    using DevExpress.Mvvm.UI.Interactivity;
   
    public partial class MainWindow : Window {
        public MainWindow() {
            InitializeComponent();
            ReportPromptToReportBehavior reportBehavior = new ReportPromptToReportBehavior();
            Interaction.GetBehaviors(designer).Add(reportBehavior);
        }
    }
    ```
