See the following section for information on how to install NuGet packages from the DevExpress NuGet feed: Install DevExpress Controls Using NuGet Packages.

This server allows CORS requests from all origins with any scheme (http or https). This default configuration is insecure: any website can make cross-origin requests to the app. We recommend that you specify the client application's URL to prohibit other clients from accessing sensitive information stored on the server.

In the client application, set the following URL as an endpoint:

http://localhost:5000/api/dashboard
