Preview Reports as PDF in .NET MAUI Apps using Backend Web API Service Endpoints with EF Core

Показать описание

In this video (Part 5), we will create a DevExpress report and configure security permissions for different users to safely access the report from Blazor and Web API apps. Then, we will implement a service endpoint to download our report as PDF via HTTP requests. Our .NET MAUI app, a consumer, will display the downloaded report contents using the default Android PDF viewer.
