ASP.NET Core Reporting – Store Reports within a Database Using Azure Cosmos DB

Prerequisites

• Azure subscription (create one for free or try Azure Cosmos DB for free without an Azure subscription)
• .NET Core 2.1 SDK or later
• Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos NuGet Package.
• DevExpress Reporting must be installed on your machine (download free 30-day trial)

The report storage implementation demonstrated in this sample supports both the SQL and MongoDB API. Use the CosmosClient class located in the Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos NuGet Package, if using the SQL API (for Azure Cosmos DB Storage access). To start using this sample, open the appSettings.json file and provide your connection details:

"CosmosSettings": {
    "DatabaseId": "TestDb",
    "ContainerId": "Reports",
    "SqlConnection": "<sql connection>",
    "MongoConnection": "<mongo connection>"
  }
