V24.1

DxDropDownListEditorBase<TData, TValue>.CustomData Property

Specifies an asynchronous function that loads the editor’s data based on the specified load options.

Namespace: DevExpress.Blazor.Base

Assembly: DevExpress.Blazor.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Blazor

Declaration

[DefaultValue(null)]
[Parameter]
public Func<DataSourceLoadOptionsBase, CancellationToken, Task<LoadResult>> CustomData { get; set; }

Property Value

Type Default Description
Func<DevExtreme.AspNet.Data.DataSourceLoadOptionsBase, CancellationToken, Task<DevExtreme.AspNet.Data.ResponseModel.LoadResult>> null

A delegate that implements data load logic.

Remarks

To bind an editor (ComboBox or TagBox) to data that is stored on a remote service and is loaded through a Web API, assign the data type to the component’s T parameter and use the CustomData property to implement data load logic. This property specifies an asynchronous function that accepts two parameters:

In this function, you can use the ConvertToGetRequestUri and ConvertToHttpContent extension methods to generate HTTP requests with parameters based on data load options. The function should return a Task<LoadResult> object.

Controller

On a remote service, implement an API controller and create action methods that use the DevExtreme.AspNet.Data library’s DataSourceLoader class to create a LoadResult object based on load options. If you pass a DataSourceLoadOptions class instance as an argument in controller actions, add a reference to the DevExtreme.AspNet.Mvc namespace from the DevExtreme.AspNet.Core NuGet package.
