Q&A

Q1: Hi! Any timeframe for a Blazor Chart Wizard component?

A: As of now, there is no specific timeframe available for a Blazor chart wizard component, but it has been validated as part of a feature request.

Q2: For Smart TextArea and Paste Button, do they support the Copilot API? Do they recognize/respect our existing limits/content tags? (Copilot has access to some of our data in Azure, and we have put content tags for visibility. Will it respect those?)

A: The Syncfusion Smart TextArea and Smart Paste Button components do not directly support the Microsoft Copilot API. Instead, they integrate with AI services like Azure OpenAI (which powers many Microsoft AI features, including aspects of Copilot), OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Gemini for their intelligent features, such as sentence autocompletion and contextual pasting. These integrations are configured by developers via API keys, endpoints, and deployment settings in code (e.g., in a Blazor app’s Program.cs file), allowing real-time AI processing of user input or clipboard content.

Regarding limits and content tags, the components respect the quotas, rate limits, and operational boundaries of the configured AI provider.

The components do not inherently access or retrieve your Azure-hosted data, they process only the immediate input provided (like typed text or clipboard data) and send it to the AI service for suggestions or formatting. Respect for custom content tags would depend on your app’s custom implementation, such as adding data retrieval logic with appropriate access controls.

Q3: Do you have any tools for converting .NET Core web applications using Syncfusion grids with .js to an equivalent Blazor version?

A: No, Syncfusion does not offer a dedicated automated tool or utility specifically for converting an entire .NET Core web application to an equivalent Blazor version. However, Syncfusion provides comprehensive support for building equivalent functionality in Blazor through its native Blazor component library, including a full-featured DataGrid component that mirrors the capabilities of the JavaScript-based grids (such as, data binding, paging, sorting, filtering, grouping, editing, and exporting).

Q4: Does DataGrid support reordering of rows based on drag and drop?

A: Yes, the Syncfusion DataGrid supports the reordering of rows using drag and drop. This feature allows users to drag rows within the same grid or among multiple grids, with options for visual indicators, multirow selection, and underlying data updates.

Q5: Does Essential Studio include a license to use BoldReports.NetCore?

A: No, Syncfusion Essential Studio does not include a license to use BoldReports.NetCore.

Why it matters

These updates empower developers to create leaner, more scalable applications while reducing development time. From smarter document workflows to visually engaging UI controls, Syncfusion Essential Studio, 2025 Volume 3 makes it easier to deliver standout experiences.
