Add Controls to a Project

• Mar 14, 2021

Follow the instructions below to add a control to your application:

1. Open a Razor file (.cshtml or .vbhtml).
2. Call the DevExtreme() HtmlHelper extension method.
3. Call the control’s builder method.

For example, the following code adds the Button control to a view, specifies the control’s id and text:

Razor C#

@using MyApp.Models

<h2>Home</h2>

@(Html.DevExtreme()
    .Button()
    .ID("submitButton")
    .Text("submit")
)

Razor VB

@Imports MyApp.Models

<h2>Home</h2>

@(Html.DevExtreme() _
    .Button() _ 
    .ID("submitButton") _
    .Text("submit")
)
