Build Blazing-Fast Financial Dashboards in Blazor: Unlock Insights from Raw Data [Webinar Show Notes]

In this webinar, Senior Product Manager Shriram Sankaran demonstrated how to build a complete, high-performance financial analytics dashboard in Blazor using .NET 9 and Syncfusion’s UI components. Attendees learned how to create a fully interactive dashboard from scratch, including summary KPIs, a pivot table, dynamic charts, and an Excel-like data grid, all powered by Syncfusion^® Blazor controls.

Q&A

Q1: Do you cover handling real-time data feeds that update on multiple user screens?

A: Yes, we support real-time data feeds across multiple user interfaces. This functionality is typically available in interactive components such as DataGrid and Chat UI, where live updates are essential. However, it is not supported in components like Pivot Table, which are designed primarily for analytical and aggregated data scenarios rather than continuous, real-time updates.

Q2: I would like to know how to add custom panels/components into the dashboard at run-time.

A: We already have a demo showing how to add a custom panel dynamically to the dashboard layout.

Q3: Will you cover deployment methods, i.e., Azure Static apps, or how to install on a web server I control?

A: We do not provide direct documentation on deployment methods. However, you can contact our support team for assistance with hosting in environments such as Azure Static Web Apps or a web server.

Q4: These components are not dependent on JavaScript packages like jQuery, right?

A: No, Syncfusion Blazor components are not dependent on JavaScript packages like jQuery.

Q5: Could you comment on OData vs. standard API for pagination purposes in a data grid?

A: Use OData if you want to build in server-side paging, sorting, and filtering via query params ($top, $skip, $filter, and $orderby). Use a standard API if you prefer custom control, just implement endpoints that accept page, pageSize, sort, filter, and return the subset. OData is faster to wire up; a standard API is more flexible.

Q6: I can use this in .NET 10, right?

A: Yes. You can use this in .NET 10.

Q7: Can the dashboard keep the layout with EnablePersistence as well?

A: Yes, the dashboard layout state can be persisted.

Q8: How frequently are new Syncfusion Blazor components released or updated?

A: We have a major release scheduled every quarter (four times a year), with a service pack release in between those cycles. Additionally, we provide weekly patch releases to address critical issues and deliver optimizations, ensuring our customers stay up-to-date with the latest improvements.
