SelectBoxBuilder	A reference to this instance after the method is called.

Remarks

Note

Specify displayExpr if your items are objects.

To configure a SelectBox 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 SelectBoxItemBuilder whose methods you can use to configure an item.

Razor C#

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