Property Value

Type	Description
Expression<Func<Object, String>>	A lambda expression that returns a menu item’s text.

Remarks

When the Context Menu component is bound to a data source, use the TextExpression property to specify the lambda expression that returns an item’s text.

<DxContextMenu Data="@MenuItems"
               TextExpression="(item => (item as TextFormattingMenuItem).Text)">
</DxContextMenu>

@code {
    List<TextFormattingMenuItem> menuItems;

    abstract class TextFormattingMenuItem {
        protected TextFormattingMenuItem(TextFormatting textFormatting, string text) {
            TextFormatting = textFormatting;
            Text = text;
        }

        public TextFormatting TextFormatting { get; }
        public string Text { get; }
    }
}

Run Demo: Context Menu - Data Binding

For unbound context menus, use the Text property to specify an item’s text.
