This example shows how to load a report template and edit it in the designer.

First, you need to add the StiNetCoreDesigner component to the view page. Also you need to pass the StiNetCoreDesignerOptions object to the constructor. The minimum required options are two actions - GetReport and DesignerEvent. It is required to define the PreviewReport action which is necessary to register the data to preview the report:

@using Stimulsoft.Report.Mvc;

...

@Html.StiNetCoreDesigner(new StiNetCoreDesignerOptions()
{
	Actions =
	{
		GetReport = "GetReport",
		DesignerEvent = "DesignerEvent"
	}
})

In the options above we define several actions, and we need to add it in the controller.

The GetReport action loads the report template and returns answer to the client part of the designer using the GetReportResult() static method. In the parameters of this method, the report object should be passed:

public IActionResult GetReport()
{
	var report = new StiReport();
	report.Load(StiNetCoreHelper.MapPath(this, "Reports/TwoSimpleLists.mrt"));
            
	return StiNetCoreDesigner.GetReportResult(this, report);
}

The DesignerEvent action handles all the designer events (adding and editing report components, work with the data dictionary, switch pages, zooming, etc.) and returns the answer to the client using the DesignerEventResult() static method:

public IActionResult DesignerEvent()
{
	return StiNetCoreDesigner.DesignerEventResult(this);
}

In the screenshot below you can see the result of the sample code:
