Namespace: DevExpress.Blazor

Assembly: DevExpress.Blazor.v25.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Blazor

Declaration

[Parameter]
public RenderFragment<ComboBoxItemDisplayTemplateContext<TData>> ItemDisplayTemplate { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
RenderFragment<ComboBoxItemDisplayTemplateContext<TData>>	The template content.

Remarks

Place HTML markup in the <ItemDisplayTemplate> tag to define custom content for ComboBox items. Use the template’s context parameter to access a data object and its fields (for instance, get the value of a data field).

The following code snippet uses the ItemDisplayTemplate property to display ComboBox items in a card-like view. Each item shows an employee’s first name, last name, photo, and phone number.
