31 Jan 202511 minutes to read

This section briefly explains about how to include Blazor 3D Chart component in your Blazor Web App using Visual Studio.

Prerequisites

System requirements for Blazor components

Create a new Blazor Web App in Visual Studio

You can create a Blazor Web App using Visual Studio 2022 via Microsoft Templates or the Syncfusion^® Blazor Extension.

You need to configure the corresponding Interactive render mode and Interactivity location while creating a Blazor Web Application.

Install Syncfusion^® Blazor 3D Chart NuGet in the Blazor Web App

To add Blazor 3D Chart component in the app, open the NuGet package manager in Visual Studio (Tools → NuGet Package Manager → Manage NuGet Packages for Solution), search and install Syncfusion.Blazor.Chart3D.

If you utilize WebAssembly or Auto render modes in the Blazor Web App need to be install Syncfusion^® Blazor components NuGet packages within the client project.

Alternatively, you can utilize the following package manager command to achieve the same.

Package Manager
Install-Package Syncfusion.Blazor.Chart3D -Version 28.2.3

NOTE

Syncfusion^® Blazor components are available in nuget.org. Refer to NuGet packages topic for available NuGet packages list with component details.

Create a new Blazor Web App in Visual Studio Code

You can create a Blazor Web App using Visual Studio Code via Microsoft Templates or the Syncfusion^® Blazor Extension.

You need to configure the corresponding Interactive render mode and Interactivity location while creating a Blazor Web Application.

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

NOTE

For more information on creating a Blazor Web App with various interactive modes and locations, refer to this link.

Install Syncfusion^® Blazor Chart3D NuGet in the App

If you utilize WebAssembly or Auto render modes in the Blazor Web App need to be install Syncfusion^® Blazor components NuGet packages within the client project.

Press Ctrl+` to open the integrated terminal in Visual Studio Code.
Ensure you’re in the project root directory where your .csproj file is located.
Run the following command to install a Syncfusion.Blazor.Chart3D NuGet package and ensure all dependencies are installed.

Package Manager
dotnet add package Syncfusion.Blazor.Chart3D -v 28.2.3
dotnet restore

NOTE

Syncfusion^® Blazor components are available in nuget.org. Refer to NuGet packages topic for available NuGet packages list with component details.

Register Syncfusion^® Blazor Service

Interactive Render Mode	Description
WebAssembly or Auto	Open ~/_Imports.razor file from the client project.
Server	Open ~/_import.razor file, which is located in the `Components` folder.

Import the Syncfusion.Blazor and Syncfusion.Blazor.Chart3D namespace.

~/_Imports.razor
@using Syncfusion.Blazor
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Chart3D

Now, register the Syncfusion^® Blazor Service in the ~/Program.cs file of your Blazor Web App.

If the Interactive Render Mode is set to WebAssembly or Auto, you need to register the Syncfusion^® Blazor service in both ~/Program.cs files of your Blazor Web App.

Server(~/_Program.cs)
Client(~/_Program.cs)
...
...
using Syncfusion.Blazor;

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

// Add services to the container.
builder.Services.AddRazorComponents()
    .AddInteractiveServerComponents()
    .AddInteractiveWebAssemblyComponents();
builder.Services.AddSyncfusionBlazor();

var app = builder.Build();
....
...
using Syncfusion.Blazor;

var builder = WebAssemblyHostBuilder.CreateDefault(args);
builder.Services.AddSyncfusionBlazor();

await builder.Build().RunAsync();

If the Interactive Render Mode is set to Server, your project will contain a single ~/Program.cs file. So, you should register the Syncfusion^® Blazor Service only in that ~/Program.cs file.

~/_Program.cs
...
using Syncfusion.Blazor;

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

// Add services to the container.
builder.Services.AddRazorComponents()
    .AddInteractiveServerComponents();
builder.Services.AddSyncfusionBlazor();

var app = builder.Build();
....

Add script resources

The script can be accessed from NuGet through Static Web Assets. Include the script reference at the end of the <body> in the ~/Components/App.razor file as shown below:

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

NOTE

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

Add Syncfusion^® Blazor 3D Chart component

Add the Syncfusion^® Blazor 3D Chart component in .razor file inside the Pages folder. If an interactivity location as Per page/component in the web app, define a render mode at top of the component, as follows:

Interactivity location	RenderMode	Code
Per page/component	Auto	@rendermode InteractiveAuto
	WebAssembly	@rendermode InteractiveWebAssembly
	Server	@rendermode InteractiveServer
	None	—

NOTE

If an Interactivity Location is set to Global and the Render Mode is set to Auto or WebAssembly or Server, the render mode is configured in the App.razor file by default.

RAZOR

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

RAZOR

<SfChart3D>

</SfChart3D>

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

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.

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.

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.

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>

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.

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>
