    • ej2-pdf-export.min.js
    • ej2-svg-base.min.js

        <!-- Report Designer component styles -->
    @Styles.Render("~/Content/bold-reports/v2.0/tailwind-light/bold.report-designer.min.css")

    <!-- Report Designer component dependent scripts -->
    @Scripts.Render("~/Scripts/bold-reports/v2.0/common/bold.reports.common.min.js")
    @Scripts.Render("~/Scripts/bold-reports/v2.0/common/bold.reports.widgets.min.js")

    <!-- Report Viewer and Designer component scripts-->
    @Scripts.Render("~/Scripts/bold-reports/v2.0/bold.report-viewer.min.js")
    @Scripts.Render("~/Scripts/bold-reports/v2.0/bold.report-designer.min.js")

        @Scripts.Render("~/Scripts/bold-reports/v2.0/common/bold.reports.widgets.min.js")

    </head>
    <body>
        <div style="height: 600px;width: 100%;">
            @RenderBody()
        </div>
        @RenderSection("scripts", required: false)
        <!-- Bold Reporting ScriptManager -->
        @Html.Bold().ScriptManager()
    </body>
    </html>
