DxGrid.SelectedDataItems Property

In multiple selection mode, this property specifies data items that corresponds to selected Grid rows.

Namespace: DevExpress.Blazor

Assembly: DevExpress.Blazor.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Blazor

Declaration

[Parameter]
public IReadOnlyList<object> SelectedDataItems { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
IReadOnlyList<Object>	A collection of data items.

Remarks

The Grid supports multiple row selection when the SelectionMode property is set to Multiple (default value). To access data items that correspond to the selected rows, use the SelectedDataItems property as follows:

• Implement two-way binding for this property (@bind-SelectedDataItems) to specify the initially selected rows and automatically update the property value when selection changes.
• Use one-way binding for this property and handle the SelectedDataItemsChanged event to implement a custom response to selection changes.

If SelectionMode is set to Single, use the SelectedDataItem property instead. If you change the selection mode dynamically, specify the SelectedDataItems property and handle the SelectedDataItemsChanged event. In the event handler, check the selection mode and assign the last selected item or all selected items to the SelectedDataItems property.

For more information about selection in the Grid component, refer to the following topic: Selection and Focus in Blazor Grid.

Select and Deselect Items

Rows can be selected and deselected in the following ways:

• A user clicks rows, taps rows, or executes keyboard shortcuts to select or deselect rows. To enable this functionality, set the AllowSelectRowByClick property to true.
• A user clicks checkboxes in the selection column. To display this column, declare a DxGridSelectionColumn object in the Columns template.
• You call the Select* or Deselect* method. Refer to the Grid’s member table for the list of available methods.

Obtain Item Field Values

Pass a data item to the GetDataItemValue method to get the item’s field value when the Grid is bound to one of the following data sources:

• An Instant Feedback Data Source whose AreSourceRowsThreadSafe option is set to false (its default value)
• A collection of anonymous objects

In other cases, you can cast a data item to the corresponding type and use the {DataItem.FieldName} notation to get the item’s field value.

The following example allows users to click rows to select them and displays information about these selected rows:

Razor

@using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore
@inject IDbContextFactory<NorthwindContext> NorthwindContextFactory
@implements IDisposable

<DxGrid Data="GridDataSource"
        AllowSelectRowByClick="true"
        @bind-SelectedDataItems="@SelectedDataItems"
        KeyFieldName="ProductId">
    <Columns>
        <DxGridDataColumn FieldName="ProductName" />
        <DxGridDataColumn FieldName="UnitPrice" />
        <DxGridDataColumn FieldName="QuantityPerUnit" />
        <DxGridDataColumn FieldName="UnitsInStock" />
    </Columns>
</DxGrid>

<div>
    <b>Selected products:</b>
    @foreach (var product in SelectedDataItems.Cast<Product>()) {
        <li>@product.ProductName</li>
    }
</div>

@code {
    IEnumerable<object> GridDataSource { get; set; }
    NorthwindContext Northwind { get; set; }
    IReadOnlyList<object> SelectedDataItems { get; set; }

        GridDataSource = Northwind.Products
            .ToList();
        SelectedDataItems = GridDataSource.Skip(1).Take(2).ToList();
    }
