Overview
The Visual Studio Extensions for Progress® Telerik® UI for Blazor is an integration package that will significantly increase your productivity when creating Blazor projects in Visual Studio. It includes ready-to-use Blazor WebAssembly and Server Project Templates with Telerik Grid, Chart, Form Inputs and Dashboard layout. Additionally, the Blazor Visual Studio Extensions includes a Convert Wizard that enables the Telerik UI for Blazor components in your existing Blazor apps with just a few clicks. The Create New Project and Convert Wizards can be used in Visual Studio on both Windows and Mac.
The Telerik UI for Blazor Visual Studio Extensions offer a set of benefits that help you work smarter with streamlined features and are perfect for new users who can start off with essential list of predefined native Blazor UI components and layout.
Create New Telerik Blazor Project in Visual Studio
The Create New Project window will help you quickly set up a new Blazor application using the desired Telerik UI components. Once you have installed the Blazor Visual Studio Extensions, you can find it under Extensions > Telerik > Telerik UI for Blazor where you click on the Create New Telerik Project. You will also be able to access the Wizard from the Project menu where you will find the Telerik C# Blazor Application option. Your next steps will be to select a name and location for your new project. You will then be taken to a screen which lets you select the desired Telerik Blazor Release version and pick a project type: Blazor WebAssembly or Server. Both types contain all available Telerik Project templates: Blank Template, which is the default Microsoft template but includes the Telerik components enabled; CRUD, Form, Chart Template which is a ready app equipped with the Telerik Grid, Chart and Forms validation; Dashboard Template that uses the TileLayout for customizable dashboards and individual blocks.
Check out the documentation page for more information.
Convert to Telerik Blazor Project
If you have an existing Blazor application that needs to be enhanced with Telerik UI components such as Grid, Charts and Buttons, the Convert to Telerik Project Wizard will let you do that with just a few clicks. To launch the Visual Studio Wizard, you need to select in VS Solution Explorer the Blazor app to which you want to add the Telerik components. Right click the project file and select Telerik UI for Blazor > Convert to Telerik Application.
Additionally, with the Visual Studio Extensions for Blazor you can update your projects with the Latest Version Acquirer tool which is launched from the Get Latest button on the Convert Project Wizard.
For more details, look at our documentation page.
Share to Telerik REPL
The Telerik Visual Studio Extension also provides integration with Telerik REPL for Blazor which is a browser-based playground for creating, saving, running and sharing of Blazor code snippets.
Using the Share to Telerik REPL for Blazor option from the code editor context menu, you can easily export your snippet while coding in Visual Studio and share the generated URL to social media, community forums or send it to a team mate.
