Assembly: DevExpress.AIIntegration.Blazor.Chat.v26.1.dll

Declaration

public IReadOnlyList<AIContent> Contents { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
IReadOnlyList<Microsoft.Extensions.AI.AIContent>	A list of content items that make up the message.

Remarks

Use the Contents property to access individual content items within a BlazorChatMessage. A message can contain multiple content items of different types: text fragments, images, documents, and so on.

In a custom MessageTemplate or MessageContentTemplate, iterate through Contents to render each AI content item according to its type.

The following code snippet accesses message content items in a custom MessageTemplate:

<DxAIChat FileUploadEnabled="true">
    <MessageTemplate>
        <div class="custom-message">
            @foreach(var item in context.Contents) {
                if(item is TextContent textContent) {
                    <p><b>Prompt:</b> @textContent.Text</p>
                }
                else if(item is DataContent dataContent) {
                    <p><b>Attachment type:</b> @dataContent.MediaType</p>
                }
            }
        </div>
    </MessageTemplate>
</DxAIChat>
