Last year we introduced the DevExpress Web Dashboard for ASP.NET Core as a CTP. Now with our upcoming release (v18.1), we're officially releasing our Web Dashboard for ASP.NET Core 2!
This update allows you to host your ASP.NET Core Dashboard app on both .NET Framework 4.6.1 (or higher) and the cross-platform .NET Core framework too.
.NET Full & Core
When running in environments that support the full .NET Framework, DevExpress Web Dashboard will support the same features and capabilities as it’s classic MVC Web Dashboard counterpart.
Two Limitations
When running your app on the .NET Core Framework, the following features will be unavailable:
- Export
- Connecting to MS OLAP service natively. You can still connect to MS OLAP via XMLA
With the exception of these two features, all the functionality you’ve come to expect from the DevExpress ASP.NET MVC Dashboard will be available in our ASP.NET Core Dashboard control (That’s right – you can run your Dashboard on Linux and Mac PCs with ease). We’ve done our very best to rework the Dashboard’s API and configuration options to mirror those of ASP.NET Core.
Getting started
To get started and create your first ASP.NET Core project, you can either use our Visual Studio template or our command line template (for Mac and Linux). We've also prepared documentation to help you get started using the DevExpress Web Dashboard in ASP.NET Core:
