Web Report Designer - The "Save As" dialog appears when saving a report opened from storage

created 2 years ago (modified 2 years ago)

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create a new ASP.NET Core application (Use .NET CLI Templates).
  2. Change Designer.cshtml to use this method overload for "TestReport": https://docs.devexpress.com/XtraReports/DevExpress.AspNetCore.Reporting.ReportDesigner.ReportDesignerBuilder.Bind(System.String).
  3. Run the project, modify the report and try to save it.

Expected results:

No dialog appears with the exception of the toast / snackbar notification.

Current results:

The "Save As" dialog appears.

    You can work around this issue by binding to a ReportDesignerModel instead of a string.

    In your controller:

    Code
    var designerModel = reportDesignerModelBuilder .Report(reportUri) .DataSources(dataSources) .BuildModel(); return View("Designer", new DesignerVM { DesignerModel = designerModel, /// your other VM data here //// });

    Then, in your cshtml, bind to @Model.DesignerModel where you used to bind to @Model.ReportUri:

    var designerRender = Html.DevExpress().ReportDesigner().Bind(@Model.DesignerModel)
