FAQs
Q1: Are the Syncfusion® components not WASM and C# native? The more JavaScript is used, the less stable and performant the components and the app will be.
Syncfusion® Blazor components are 100% native Blazor components written in C#, not JavaScript wrappers. Our components use Blazor’s JavaScript interop capability only when necessary for browser-specific functionality not available through .NET APIs.
Q2: Does Syncfusion® have a UI designer for HTML/CSS, or are they creating one for a near-time release?
As of now, we do not have a UI designer for HTML/CSS. But you can use the Syncfusion® Blazor playground to play with your Blazor code. We also provide the Theme Studio for customizing component appearances.
Q3: Does this example work with Blazor WebAssembly?
Yes, All Syncfusion® Blazor components and UI blocks are designed with hosting model independence. So, it will work with Blazor WebAssembly.
Q4: Can you email the podcast so we can see it again?
The recorded video of the webinar is available on YouTube.
Q5: Is there an example using SQL tables?
As of now there is no available example using SQL tables, but we will consider this as an upcoming webinar session’s topic. Our DataGrid, TreeGrid, and other data-bound components fully support Entity Framework Core and direct SQL connectivity through standard data binding patterns.
Q6: What about Blazor WebAssembly?
Yes, the solution will work with Blazor WebAssembly as the UI blocks are primarily developed using HTML, CSS, and C#.
Q7: Why WASM in this case? If it’s a portal, shouldn’t it be running on the server?
The sample uses a project of type Blazor web app with Server as the render mode and this configuration is being used only for this sample purpose.
Q8: Is the “Remember me” option fully functional in the login page? If it is, why didn’t you use it?
Remember me is not fully functional and the business logic for it must be coded as part of a specific application’s requirements.
Q9: I see the example shows a link to sign in with Google. Do your login samples work well with ADB2C or OAuth?
Yes, the login samples work well with AD B2C.
Q10: Is the Blazor UI Kit a paid option, and if so, is it part of our global license subscription?
The Blazor UI Kit blocks are completely free and open source, with full source code available in our GitHub repository for anyone to use. The UI Kit leverages Syncfusion® Blazor components, which do require a commercial license. If you have an existing Syncfusion® global license, all Blazor components used in the UI Kit are already included in your subscription at no additional cost.
Q11: Could you make an example with the login components using the interactive server mode with Microsoft Identity using cookies and EditForm in the next?
Sure, we will validate and consider this for one of our upcoming webinars.
Q12: Thanks for a useful demo. It could be more helpful if the backend was covered. And what about Blazor components license and subscriptions?
Sure, we will validate and cover back-end topics in our upcoming webinars. The license details can be found on this page.
Q13: Can you do a webinar integrating Blazor with MVC and providing application examples like this?
Sure, we will validate and consider this for one of our upcoming webinars.
Q14: Are there blocks for edit forms with validation?
Currently our UI blocks have no edit forms with validation. But we will consider this for upcoming UI block updates. In the meantime, our Blazor components like TextBox, DatePicker, and Form Validator support full validation capabilities individually.
Q15: What about dark and light modes?
The UI blocks are fully compatible with Tailwind CSS and Bootstrap 5.3 (both light and dark modes).
Q16: Why WASM in this case? If it’s a portal, shouldn’t it be running on the server? I don’t think an API will be developed here in this seminar.
No, an API would not be developed in a webinar. The sample uses a project of type Blazor web app with server as the render mode.
Conclusion
In this webinar, attendees learned how to build a customer support portal using the Syncfusion® Blazor UI Kit. We walked through a real-world application scenario, showcasing how to assemble key pages quickly, like a login, main layout, and ticket viewer, without starting from scratch.
