Get started

1. Install

Radzen Blazor Components are distributed as the Radzen.Blazor nuget package.

You can add them to your project in one of the following ways

• Install the package from command line by running dotnet add package Radzen.Blazor
• Add the project from the Visual Nuget Package Manager
• Manually edit the .csproj file and add a project reference

2. Import the namespace

Open the _Imports.razor file of your Blazor application and add these two lines @using Radzen and @using Radzen.Blazor.

3. Include a theme

Open Pages\_Layout.cshtml (Blazor Server .NET 6+), Pages\_Host.cshtml (Blazor Server before .NET 6) or wwwroot/index.html (Blazor WebAssembly) and include a theme CSS file by adding this snippet:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="_content/Radzen.Blazor/css/material-base.css">

To include a different theme (i.e. Standard) just change the name of the CSS file:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="_content/Radzen.Blazor/css/standard-base.css">

4. Include Radzen.Blazor.js

Open Pages\_Layout.cshtml (Blazor Server .NET 6+), Pages\_Host.cshtml (Blazor Server before .NET 6) or wwwroot/index.html (Blazor WebAssembly) and include this snippet

<script src="_content/Radzen.Blazor/Radzen.Blazor.js"></script>

5. Use a component

Use any Radzen Blazor component by typing its tag name in a Blazor page e.g. <RadzenButton Text="Hi"></RadzenButton>

Setting a property

<RadzenButton Text="@text"></RadzenButton>
@code {
  string text = "Hi";
}

Handing events

<RadzenButton Click="@ButtonClicked" Text="Hi"></RadzenButton>
@code {
  void ButtonClicked()
  {
    //
  }
}

6. Use Dialog, Notification, ContextMenu and Tooltip components

Open the Shared\MainLayout.razor file and include:

• <RadzenDialog/>
• <RadzenNotification/>
• <RadzenContextMenu/>
• <RadzenTooltip/>

Open Startup.cs file (Blazor Server before .NET 6) or Program.cs (Blazor WebAssembly or Blazor Server after .NET 6) and add:

• DialogService
• NotificationService
• ContextMenuService
• TooltipService

Startup.cs (Blazor Server before .NET 6)

    using Radzen;
    ...
    public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
    {
        ...
        services.AddScoped<DialogService>();
        services.AddScoped<NotificationService>();
        services.AddScoped<TooltipService>();
        services.AddScoped<ContextMenuService>();
        ...
    }
    

Program.cs (Blazor WebAssembly Blazor and Blazor Server after .NET 6)

    using Radzen;
    ...
    public static async Task Main(string[] args)
    {
        var builder = WebAssemblyHostBuilder.CreateDefault(args);
        builder.RootComponents.Add<App>("app");

        builder.Services.AddTransient(sp => new HttpClient { BaseAddress = new Uri(builder.HostEnvironment.BaseAddress) });

        ...

        builder.Services.AddScoped<DialogService>();
        builder.Services.AddScoped<NotificationService>();
        builder.Services.AddScoped<TooltipService>();
        builder.Services.AddScoped<ContextMenuService>();
        ...

        await builder.Build().RunAsync();
    }
