The following demo depicts the example for Fade animation,

Intervals between slides

Using the items property, you can set different intervals for each item to transition between slides. The default interval is 5000 ms (5 seconds). The following example depicts the code for setting the different intervals between each item.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Navigations

<div class="control-container">
    <SfCarousel>
        <CarouselItem Interval="2000">
            <div class="slide-content">Slide 1</div>
        </CarouselItem>
        <CarouselItem Interval="4000">
            <div class="slide-content">Slide 2</div>
        </CarouselItem>
        <CarouselItem>
            <div class="slide-content">Slide 3</div>
        </CarouselItem>
        <CarouselItem Interval="6000">
            <div class="slide-content">Slide 4</div>
        </CarouselItem>
        <CarouselItem Interval="8000">
            <div class="slide-content">Slide 5</div>
        </CarouselItem>
    </SfCarousel>
</div>

<style>
    .control-container {
        background-color: #adb5bd;
        height: 300px;
        margin: 0 auto;
        width: 500px;
    }

    .e-carousel .slide-content {
        align-items: center;
        display: flex;
        font-size: 1.25rem;
        height: 100%;
        justify-content: center;
    }

Using the SlideItemChanged events of the Carousel component, you can perform sample end customization while the carousel items are switched.

The following demo depicts the example for carousel events,

        </CarouselItem>
        <CarouselItem>
            <div class="slide-content">Slide 3</div>
        </CarouselItem>
        <CarouselItem>
            <div class="slide-content">Slide 4</div>
        </CarouselItem>
        <CarouselItem>
            <div class="slide-content">Slide 5</div>
        </CarouselItem>
    </SfCarousel>
</div>

@code {
    void OnSelectedIndexChanged(int index)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(index);
    }
}

<style>
    .control-container {
        background-color: #adb5bd;
        height: 300px;
        margin: 0 auto;
