Type	Description
String	A string that represents a caption.

Remarks

In ASP.NET Core Blazor applications, the ActionUrl associated with a selected List View item displays the link in the column with other actions (in that Action Container).

The TextFormatString property specifies column cell display text.

You can insert a property value into the link anchor text. Use ActionUrl.TextFieldName and TextFormatString properties as demonstrated below:

public class DomainObject1 : BaseObject {
   //...
   private string name;
   public string Name {
      get { return name; }
      set { SetPropertyValue(ref name, value); }
   }
}
public partial class ViewController1 : ViewController{
   private void InitializeComponent(){
      //...
      this.urlAction1 = new DevExpress.ExpressApp.Actions.ActionUrl(this.components);
      this.urlAction1.TextFieldName = "Name";
      this.urlAction1.TextFormatString = "Go to {0}'s site";
      //...
   }
}

The following image demonstrates how the urlAction1 from the code above is displayed in the DomainObject1 List View:

In ASP.NET Core Blazor applications, to display an Action in an additional List View column, set ActionBase.SelectionDependencyType to SelectionDependencyType.RequireSingleObject and ActionBase.Category property to ListView, Edit, or RecordEdit. In a List View, the Action is displayed in the same column as other Actions in the same Action Container.
