How do I trigger a report export via code?

You can use the ReportDataProvider.ReportsStorage.LoadReport method to get the XtraReport object, assign its data source, and call methods like ExportToPdf().

What is the purpose of PredefinedReportsUpdater?

It is a class used to register 'static' or code-first reports so they are automatically available in the application database without manual user creation.

Does this support Entity Framework Core?

Yes, the skill includes patterns for using EntityServerModeSource to provide high-performance data binding for EF Core in XAF reports.

How do I enable the report designer in XAF Blazor?

You must set options.EnableInplaceReports to true within the ReportsModuleV2 configuration in your Blazor Program.cs and call services.AddDevExpressBlazorReporting().

Can I store reports as files instead of in the database?

Yes, by setting ReportStoreMode to XML in your module configuration, XAF will store report layouts as .repx files on the filesystem.
