This example demonstrates how to use the DevExpress.Drawing package based on the SkiaSharp library instead of the System.Drawing library in an ASP.NET Core application to preview, print, or export DevExpress XtraReports.

The commands required to configure the host operating system environment for the DevExpress Drawing Engine are included in the docker file.

You can run the app on the Windows platform, or the Windows Subsystem for Linux or Docker. Select a platform from the Debug drop-down menu in the toolbar, and start debugging the app.

Run the application from the dotnet CLI on Windows, Linux and MacOS with the dotnet run command. To run the Docker container from the command line, build the Docker image. You should pass the DevExpress NuGet source URL as a secret to restore NuGet packages. Review the BuildKit documentation for more information.

set DX_NUGET=https://nuget.devexpress.com/some-nuget-token/api
docker build -t reporting-app --secret id=dxnuget,env=DX_NUGET .
docker run -p 8080:80 reporting-app:latest

export DX_NUGET=https://nuget.devexpress.com/some-nuget-token/api
DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build -t reporting-app --secret id=dxnuget,env=DX_NUGET .
docker run -p 8080:80 reporting-app:latest

The application page is available at the following URL: http://localhost:8080/.

• Startup.cs

  At startup, call the DevExpress.Drawing.Internal.DXDrawingEngine.ForceSkia method to use the DevExpress Drawing Skia engine in the application.

• ReportingWebApp.csproj
