14 Apr 20269 minutes to read

This section briefly explains about how to include Syncfusion^® Blazor 3D Chart component in your Blazor Web App using Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, and the .NET CLI.

To get started quickly with Blazor 3D Chart component, check on the following video:

• Visual Studio
• Visual Studio Code
• .NET CLI

Prerequisites

• System requirements for Blazor components

Create a new Blazor Web App in Visual Studio

Create a Blazor Web App using Visual Studio via Microsoft Templates or the Syncfusion^® Blazor Extension. For detailed instructions, refer to the Blazor Web App Getting Started documentation.

Prerequisites

• System requirements for Blazor components

Create a new Blazor Web App in Visual Studio Code

Create a Blazor Web App using Visual Studio Code via Microsoft Templates or the Syncfusion^® Blazor Extension. For detailed instructions, refer to the Blazor Web App Getting Started documentation.

For example, in a Blazor Web App with the Auto interactive render mode, use the following commands in the integrated terminal (Ctrl+`).

Blazor Web App

dotnet new blazor -o BlazorWebApp -int Auto
cd BlazorWebApp
cd BlazorWebApp.Client

Prerequisites

Install the latest version of .NET SDK. If you previously installed the SDK, you can determine the installed version by executing the following command in a command prompt (Windows) or terminal (macOS) or command shell (Linux).

.NET CLI

dotnet --version

Create a Blazor Web App using .NET CLI

Run the following command to create a new Blazor Web App in a command prompt (Windows) or terminal (macOS) or command shell (Linux). For detailed instructions, refer to the Blazor Web App Getting Started documentation.

For example, in a Blazor Web App with the Auto interactive render mode, use the following commands.

Blazor Web App

dotnet new blazor -o BlazorWebApp -int Auto
cd BlazorWebApp
cd BlazorWebApp.Client

This command creates a new Blazor Web App and places it in a new directory called BlazorWebApp inside your current location. See the Create a Blazor App and dotnet new CLI command topics for more details.

NOTE

Configure the appropriate Interactive render mode and Interactivity location while creating a Blazor Web App. For detailed information, refer to the interactive render mode documentation.

Install Syncfusion^® Blazor packages

Install Syncfusion.Blazor.Chart3D NuGet package in the project using the NuGet Package Manager in Visual Studio (Tools → NuGet Package Manager → Manage NuGet Packages for Solution), or the integrated terminal in Visual Studio Code (dotnet add package), or the .NET CLI.

Alternatively, run the following commands in the Package Manager Console to achieve the same.

Package Manager

Install-Package Syncfusion.Blazor.Chart3D -Version 33.2.3

If using the WebAssembly or Auto render modes in the Blazor Web App, install this package in the client project.

NOTE

All Syncfusion Blazor packages are available on nuget.org. See the NuGet packages topic for details.

Add import namespaces

After the package is installed, open the ~/_Imports.razor file in the client project and import the Syncfusion.Blazor and Syncfusion.Blazor.Chart3D namespaces.

~/_Imports.razor

@using Syncfusion.Blazor
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Chart3D

Register Syncfusion^® Blazor service

Register the Syncfusion^® Blazor service in the Program.cs file of your Blazor Web App.

Program.cs

....
using Syncfusion.Blazor;
....
builder.Services.AddSyncfusionBlazor();
....

NOTE

If the Interactive Render Mode is set to WebAssembly or Auto, register the Syncfusion^® Blazor service in Program.cs files of both the server and client projects in your Blazor Web App.

Add script resources

The script can be accessed from NuGet through Static Web Assets. Include the script reference in the ~/Components/App.razor file.

<script src="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor.Core/scripts/syncfusion-blazor.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

NOTE

Check out the Adding Script Reference topic to learn different approaches for adding script references in the Blazor application.

Add Syncfusion^® Blazor 3D Chart component

Add the Syncfusion^® Blazor 3D Chart component in the ~/Components/Pages/*.razor file. If the interactivity location is set to Per page/component in the Web App, define a render mode at the top of the ~Pages/*.razor file. (For example, InteractiveServer, InteractiveWebAssembly or InteractiveAuto).

NOTE

If the Interactivity Location is set to Global with Auto or WebAssembly, the render mode is automatically configured in the App.razor file by default.

RAZOR

@* desired render mode define here *@
@rendermode InteractiveAuto

Home.razor

<SfChart3D>

</SfChart3D>

• Press Ctrl+F5 (Windows) or ⌘+F5 (macOS) to launch the application. This will render the Syncfusion^® Blazor 3D Chart component in the default web browser.

Populate Blazor 3D Chart with data

To bind data for the 3D chart component, you can assign a IEnumerable object to the DataSource property. It can also be provided as an instance of the DataManager.

Home.razor

public class SalesInfo
{
    public string Month { get; set; }
    public double SalesValue { get; set; }
}

public List<SalesInfo> Sales = new List<SalesInfo>
{
    new SalesInfo { Month = "Jan", SalesValue = 35 },
    new SalesInfo { Month = "Feb", SalesValue = 28 },
    new SalesInfo { Month = "Mar", SalesValue = 34 },
    new SalesInfo { Month = "Apr", SalesValue = 32 },
    new SalesInfo { Month = "May", SalesValue = 40 },
    new SalesInfo { Month = "Jun", SalesValue = 32 },
    new SalesInfo { Month = "Jul", SalesValue = 35 }
};

Now, map the data fields Month and Sales to the series XName and YName properties, then set the data to the DataSource property, and the chart type to Column because we will be viewing the data in a column chart.

Add 3D Chart title

Using the Title property, you can add a title to the chart and the axes to provide the user with quick information about the data plotted in the chart.

Home.razor

<SfChart3D Title="Sales Analysis">
    <Chart3DPrimaryXAxis Title="Month" ValueType="Syncfusion.Blazor.Chart3D.ValueType.Category"></Chart3DPrimaryXAxis>
    <Chart3DPrimaryYAxis Title="Sales in Dollar"></Chart3DPrimaryYAxis>
    <Chart3DSeriesCollection>
        <Chart3DSeries DataSource="@Sales" XName="Month" YName="SalesValue" Type="Chart3DSeriesType.Column">
        </Chart3DSeries>
    </Chart3DSeriesCollection>
</SfChart3D>

Enable legend

You can use legend for the 3D Chart by setting the Visible property to true in Chart3DLegendSettings. The legend name can be changed by using the Name property in the series.

Home.razor

<SfChart3D Title="Sales Analysis">
    <Chart3DPrimaryXAxis ValueType="Syncfusion.Blazor.Chart3D.ValueType.Category"></Chart3DPrimaryXAxis>
    <Chart3DLegendSettings Visible="true"></Chart3DLegendSettings>
    <Chart3DSeriesCollection>
        <Chart3DSeries DataSource="@Sales" Name="Sales" XName="Month" YName="SalesValue" Type="Chart3DSeriesType.Column">
        </Chart3DSeries>
    </Chart3DSeriesCollection>
</SfChart3D>

Add data label

You can add data labels to improve the readability of the 3D Chart. This can be achieved by setting the Visible property to true in the Chart3DDataLabel. Now, the data labels are arranged smartly based on series.

Home.razor

<SfChart3D Title="Sales Analysis">
    <Chart3DPrimaryXAxis ValueType="Syncfusion.Blazor.Chart3D.ValueType.Category"></Chart3DPrimaryXAxis>
    <Chart3DSeriesCollection>
        <Chart3DSeries DataSource="@Sales" XName="Month" YName="SalesValue" Type="Chart3DSeriesType.Column">
                <Chart3DDataLabel Visible="true"></Chart3DDataLabel>
        </Chart3DSeries>
    </Chart3DSeriesCollection>
</SfChart3D>

Enable tooltip

The tooltip is useful when you cannot display information by using the data labels due to space constraints. You can enable tooltip by setting the Enable property in Chart3DTooltipSettings to true.

Home.razor

<SfChart3D Title="Sales Analysis">
    <Chart3DPrimaryXAxis Title="Month" ValueType="Syncfusion.Blazor.Chart3D.ValueType.Category"></Chart3DPrimaryXAxis>
    <Chart3DPrimaryYAxis Title="Sales in Dollar"></Chart3DPrimaryYAxis>
    <Chart3DTooltipSettings Enable="true"></Chart3DTooltipSettings>
    <Chart3DSeriesCollection>
        <Chart3DSeries DataSource="@Sales" XName="Month" YName="SalesValue" Type="Chart3DSeriesType.Column">
        </Chart3DSeries>
    </Chart3DSeriesCollection>
</SfChart3D>
