Assembly: DevExtreme.AspNet.Core.dll

Declaration

    Action<CollectionFactory<DropDownBoxItemBuilder>> configurator
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
configurator	Action<CollectionFactory<DropDownBoxItemBuilder>>	A function that allows you to add items to the collection.

Returns

Type	Description
DropDownBoxBuilder	A reference to this instance after the method is called.

Remarks

To configure a DropDownBox item collection, use a multiline lambda expression. In this case, a lambda parameter performs the role of a collection factory, and its Add() method adds a new item to the collection. The Add() method returns DropDownBoxItemBuilder whose methods you can use to configure an item.

Razor C#

@(Html.DevExtreme().DropDownBox()
    .Items(items => {
        items.Add(); // call methods to configure a DropDownBox item
        items.Add();
    })
)
