Namespace: DevExpress.AspNetCore.Bootstrap

Assembly: DevExpress.AspNetCore.Bootstrap.v18.2.dll

Declaration

C#

VB.NET

Public Property CustomTagTexts As List(Of String)

Property Value

Type	Description
List<String>	A collection of custom tags.

Remarks

IMPORTANT

Bootstrap Controls for ASP.NET Core are in maintenance mode. We don’t add new controls or develop new functionality for this product line. Our recommendation is to use the ASP.NET Core Controls suite.

Using the CustomTagTexts property makes only sense once custom tags are activated in the Tag Box control. To do this, enable the AllowCustomTags property.

The code below demonstrates this member in action.

View

 @model BootstrapTagBoxValues<int>

<form method="post">
    @(Html.DevExpress()
        .BootstrapTagBoxFor(m => m)
        .AllowCustomTags(true)
        .Items(items =>
        {
            items.Add()
              .Text("Item 1")
              .Value(1);
        }))
    <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Submit</button>
</form>

Controller

 public class EditingController : Controller
{
    [HttpPost]
    public IActionResult Index(BootstrapTagBoxValues<int> tagBox)
    {
        List<int> selectedPredefinedTagsIds = tagBox.TagValues;
        List<string> typedCustomTagsTexts = tagBox.CustomTagTexts;
        return View(tagBox);
    }
}
