  I need to be able to use DependencyInjection in the GetCustomStore routine used in the app.UseReporting of Startup.cs. Is there a way to do this?
  
  Using ActiveReports 15 & Net.core 3.1

  Hello,

  You can use the CustomStore as follow:

  public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
          {
              if (env.IsDevelopment())
              {
                  app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
              }
  
              app.UseReporting(settings =>
              {
                  settings.UseCustomStore(GetReport);
                  settings.UseCompression = true;
              });
  
              app.UseMvc();
          }
  
          private object GetReport(string arg)
          {
              GrapeCity.ActiveReports.PageReport def = new GrapeCity.ActiveReports.PageReport();
  //load the report layout
  def.Load(new System.IO.FileInfo(Application.StartupPath + "\RuntimeBinding.rdlx"));
  
              return def.Report;
          }
  

  Hope it helps.

  Thanks,

  Is there a way to pass another variable with the GetReport method?

  Hello,

  No, there is no way to pass the another variable. Can you please tell which variable you want to pass in the GetReport method and share the user case so that I can help you accordingly.

  Thanks,

  Hello,
  
  What I really need to do is get the dependency from the current scope in GetCustomStore.

  I figured it out.
  
  In Startup.cs ConfigureServices add HttpContextAccessor and register your report.

  
  services.AddHttpContextAccessor();
  services.AddTransient<TestReport>();
  
  

  In Startup.cs Configure, add in a parameter for the factory.

  
  public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env, IReportFactory reportFactory)
  
  

  For the useReport in Startup.cs Configure, change the UseCustomStore to accept reportFactory.

  
              app.UseReporting(settings =>
              {
                  settings.UseEmbeddedTemplates(EmbeddedReportsPrefix, Assembly.GetAssembly(GetType()));
                  settings.UseCompression = true;
                  settings.UseCustomStore((name) => GetReport(reportFactory, name));
              });
  
  

  In the factory class, add IHttpContextAccessor. Use this to get the correct report.

  
          public Object GetReport(String reportName)
          {
              var reportType = Type.GetType($"Namespace.{reportName},Assembly");
              return report = contextAccessor.HttpContext.RequestServices.GetService(reportType);
          }
