Get started

All interactive features of the Radzen Blazor components require interactivity of the container .razor file to be enabled or the @rendermode attribute of the component to be set to one of the following values: InteractiveServer, InteractiveAuto or InteractiveWebAssembly. More info is available in the rendering mode article from the official Blazor documentation.

If you have upgraded your application to .NET 8 or .NET 9 follow the getting started instructions for the version you initially used - e.g. .NET 7 or .NET 6. These instructions assume the new application layout which uses rendering modes and was introduced with .NET 8.

1. Installlink

The Radzen Blazor components are distributed via the Radzen.Blazor nuget package.

You can add the Radzen.Blazor nuget package to your Blazor application in one of the following ways:

Via Visual Studio's Nuget Package Manager.
Via command line dotnet add package Radzen.Blazor
By editing your application's .csproj file and adding a package reference <PackageReference Include="Radzen.Blazor" Version="*" />

2. Import the namespacelink

Open the _Imports.razor file of your Blazor application and append the following:

@using Radzen
@using Radzen.Blazor

3. Set the themelink

Open the App.razor file of your application. Add this code within the <head> element:

<RadzenTheme Theme="material" @rendermode="InteractiveAuto" />

Set the @rendermode attribute to the render mode of your application e.g. InteractiveServer, InteractiveWebAssembly or InteractiveAuto.

4. Include Radzen.Blazor.jslink

Open the App.razor file of your application. Add this code after the last <script>:

<script src="_content/Radzen.Blazor/Radzen.Blazor.js?v=@(typeof(Radzen.Colors).Assembly.GetName().Version)"></script>

5. Use a componentlink

Use any Radzen Blazor component by typing its tag name in a Blazor page:

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

6. Use Dialog, Notification, ContextMenu and Tooltip componentslink

Open the MainLayout.razor file and include:

<RadzenComponents @rendermode="InteractiveAuto" />

Set the @rendermode attribute to the render mode of your application e.g. InteractiveServer, InteractiveWebAssembly or InteractiveAuto.
