Displaying Popup window in Blazor using Radzen Control


We can display the Popup window in Blazor using Radzen Controls like this

Step 1: Configure the project setup like this https://chandradev819.wordpress.com/2022/09/28/getting-started-with-radzen-blazor-controls/

Step 2: Register the Dialogs service like this

Step 3: Include <RadzenDialog/> component as global in Shared\MainLayout.razor

Step 4: Create any Razor component and write the code for simple popup window like this

@page "/popup"
@inject DialogService DialogService

<RadzenButton ButtonType="ButtonType.Submit" Text="Test Popup" TextTransform="None" 
Click=@(args => DialogService.Confirm("Confirm Action?", "Test Popup", new ConfirmOptions() { OkButtonText = "Yes", CancelButtonText = "No" })) />

Now we will create cascading popup window

@page "/SimplePopup"
@inject DialogService DialogService
<RadzenButton Text="Show dialog with inline Blazor content" Click=@ShowInlineDialog />

@code {
    async Task ShowInlineDialog()
    {
        var result = await DialogService.OpenAsync("Login Popup", ds =>
    @<div>
        <div class="row">
            <fieldset class="border p-2">
                <legend class="w-auto">
                    <div class="col-md-6">
                        <RadzenButton Text="Login as User" Click="() => LoginAsUser()"
                                  Style="margin-bottom: 10px; width: 250px" />
                        <RadzenButton Text="Login as Guest" Click="() => LoginAsGuest()"
                                  Style="margin-bottom: 10px; width: 250px" />
                        <RadzenButton Text="Login as Admin" Click="() => LoginAsAdmin()"
                                  Style="margin-bottom: 10px; width: 250px" />
                    </div>
                </legend>
            </fieldset>
        </div>
    </div>
    );

        Console.WriteLine($"Dialog result: {result}");
    }

    async Task ShowInlineDialog1()
    {
        var result = await DialogService.OpenAsync("Login Popup", ds =>
    @<div>
        <div class="row">
            <fieldset class="border p-2">
                <legend class="w-auto">
                    <div class="col-md-12">
                        <p>Testing</p>
                    </div>
                </legend>
            </fieldset>
        </div>
    </div>
    );

        Console.WriteLine($"Dialog result: {result}");
    }
    private void LoginAsUser()
    {
        ShowInlineDialog1();
    }
    private void LoginAsGuest()
    {

    }
    private void LoginAsAdmin()
    {

    }
}

Cascading ComboBox in Telerik Blazor


Recently I got a chance to work with Cascading ComboBox using Telerik. We can implemented this functionalities as given below.

<p>Category</p>
<TelerikComboBox Value="@Currentproduct.CategoryId"
                 Data="@Categories"
                 Placeholder="Select Category"
                 TextField="CategoryName" ValueField="CategoryId" Filterable="true"
                 ValueChanged="@( (int? c) => CategorySelected(c) )">
</TelerikComboBox>
<br />
<br />
<p>Product</p>
<TelerikComboBox Value="@Currentproduct.ProductId" Data="@CurrentProducts"
                 Placeholder="Select Product" Filterable="true"
                 TextField="ProductName" ValueField="ProductId"
                 Enabled="@( Currentproduct.CategoryId > 0 )">
</TelerikComboBox>

<p>Selected CategoryId:@Currentproduct.CategoryId </p> 
<p>Selected CategoryName:@Currentproduct.CategoryName</p>


@code {
    // data sources
    List<Category> Categories { get; set; }
    List<Product> AllProducts { get; set; }
    List<Product> CurrentProducts { get; set; }
    List<int> Quantities { get; set; }
    // model
    Product Currentproduct { get; set; } = new Product();

    protected override void OnInitialized()
    {
        base.OnInitialized();

        Categories = Enumerable.Range(1, 6).Select(x => new Category
            {
                CategoryId = x,
                CategoryName = $"Category {x}"
            }).ToList();

        AllProducts = Enumerable.Range(1, 50).Select(x => new Product
            {
                ProductId = x,
                ProductName = $"Product {x}",
                CategoryId = (int)Math.Ceiling((double)x % 7)
            }).ToList();
    }

    //ValueChanged handlers - for cascading comboBox
    void CategorySelected(int? category)
    {
        // the default value - the user selected the default item == deselected the current item
        if (category == null) 
        {
            //reset the "form" / process
            Currentproduct = new Product();
            return;
        }

        // cascade the selection by filtering the data for the next dropdown
        CurrentProducts = AllProducts.Where(p => p.CategoryId == category).ToList();

        // get the selected model from the data source
        Category SelectedCategory = Categories.Where(c => c.CategoryId == category).First();

        // business logic
        Currentproduct.CategoryId = SelectedCategory.CategoryId;
        Currentproduct.CategoryName = SelectedCategory.CategoryName;
    }

    public class Category
    {
        public int CategoryId { get; set; }
        public string CategoryName { get; set; }
    }

    public class Product
    {
        public int CategoryId { get; set; }
        public string CategoryName { get; set; }
        public int ProductId { get; set; }
        public string ProductName { get; set; }
    }
}
