Editing in Blazor DataGrid component

The DataGrid component has options to dynamically insert, delete and update records. Editing feature requires a primary key column for CRUD operations.

To know about editing feature in Blazor DataGrid component, you can check on this video.

To define the primary key, set IsPrimaryKey to true in particular column whose value is unique.

You can start the edit action either by double clicking the particular row or by selecting the required row and click on Edit button in the toolbar. Similarly, you can add a new record to datagrid either by clicking on Add button in the toolbar or on an external button which is bound to invoke the AddRecord method of the datagrid, Save and Cancel while in edit mode is possible using respective toolbar icon in datagrid.

Deletion of the record is possible by selecting the required row and click on Delete button in the toolbar.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Grids

<SfGrid DataSource="@Orders" AllowPaging="true" Toolbar="@(new List<string>() { "Add", "Edit", "Delete", "Cancel", "Update" })" Height ="315">

        public DateTime? OrderDate { get; set; }
        public double? Freight { get; set; }
    }
}

The following screenshot represents Editing with Default Mode. Edit Action

  • Grid uses Activator.CreateInstance<TValue>() to generate a new record when an insert operation is invoked, so it is must to have parameterless constructor defined for the model class. To provide custom logic for object creation during editing, you can refer here.
  • If IsIdentity is enabled, then it will be considered as a read-only column when editing and adding a record.
  • You can disable editing for a particular column, by specifying AllowEditing to false.
  • You can disable adding for a particular column, by specifying AllowAdding to false.

Toolbar with edit option

The datagrid toolbar has the following built-in items to execute editing actions.

  • Add - Adds a new record.
  • Edit - Edits the selected record.
  • Update - Updates the edited record.
  • Delete - Deletes the selected record.
  • Cancel - Cancels the edit state.

You can define this by using the Toolbar property.

Cell edit type

The EditType property of the GridColumn component is used for defining the editor component for any particular column. You can set the EditType based on data type of the column.

The available default edit types are,

Customizing the default editor controls

You can customize the behavior of the editor component through the EditorSettings property of the GridColumn component.

We have limited the properties of editor components that can be customized using [EditorSettings] in Grid default editor components. Kindly find the list of properties that can be customized from below topics. If you want to customize other properties, refer our EditTemplate documentation to render the custom components in EditForm along with your customization.

BooleanEdit

[BooleanEditCellParams] class helps us to customize the default Checkbox component in Grid EditForm. The following table describes properties of CheckBox control than can be customized using [EditorSettings] of GridColumn editor component.

Component Description
CssClass Defines class/multiple classes separated by a space in the CheckBox element. You can add custom styles to the CheckBox by using this property.
Label Defines the caption for the CheckBox, that describes the purpose of the CheckBox.
EnableRtl Enable or disable rendering component in right to left direction.
LabelPosition Positions label Before/after the CheckBox. The possible values are: Before - The label is positioned to left of the CheckBox. After - The label is positioned to right of the CheckBox.
Indeterminate Specifies a value that indicates whether the CheckBox is in Indeterminate state or not. When set to true, the CheckBox will be in indeterminate state.
Disabled Specifies a value that indicates whether the CheckBox is Disabled or not. When set to true, the CheckBox will be in disabled state.

The following sample code demonstrates the customization applied to Checkbox component set for the DataGrid columns,

        public bool Verified { get; set; }
    }
}

DatePickerEdit

[DateEditCellParams] class helps us to customize the default DatePicker and DateTimePicker component in Grid EditForm. The following table describes properties of DatePicker control than can be customized using [EditorSettings] of GridColumn editor component.

Component Example
CssClass Specifies the root CSS class of the DatePicker that allows to customize the appearance by overriding the styles.
EnableRtl Enable or disable rendering component in right to left direction.
ReadOnly Specifies the component in readonly state. When the Component is readonly it does not allow user input.
ShowClearButton Specifies whether to show or hide the clear icon in textbox.

The following sample code demonstrates the customization applied to DatePicker component set for the DataGrid columns,

    };

    public class Order
    {
        public int OrderID { get; set; }
        public string CustomerID { get; set; }
        public double Freight { get; set; }
        public DateTime OrderDate { get; set; } = DateTime.Now;
        public string ShipName { get; set; }
        public bool Verified { get; set; }
    }
}

Similar way customization can be applied to default DateTimePicker Component using same [DateEditCellParams]

Cell Edit Template

Before adding edit template to the datagrid, we strongly recommend you to go through the template section topic to configure the template.

The cell edit template is used to add a custom component for a particular column. You can use the EditTemplate of the GridColumn component to add the custom component. You can access the parameters passed to the templates using implicit parameter named context.

Custom components inside the EditTemplate must be specified with two-way (@bind-Value) binding to reflect the changes in DataGrid.

Command column

The command column provides an option to add CRUD action buttons in a column. This can be defined by using the GridCommandColumns component which needs to be wrapped inside the GridColumn component.

The available built-in command buttons are:

Command Button Actions
Edit Edit the current row.
Delete Delete the current row.
Save Update the edited row.
Cancel Cancel the edited state.

Custom command

The custom command buttons can be added in a column by using the Commands property of the GridColumn component and the action for the custom buttons can be defined in the CommandClicked event.

The following sample code demonstrates adding custom command in the Manage Records column and the CommandClicked event which triggers when the command is clicked,

Column validation

Column validation allows you to validate the edited or added row data and it display errors for invalid fields before saving data. DataGrid uses Form Validator library for column validation. You can set validation rules by defining the ValidationRules.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Grids

<SfGrid DataSource="@Orders" Height="315" AllowPaging="true" Toolbar="@(new List<string>() { "Add", "Edit", "Delete", "Update", "Cancel" })">

    protected override void OnInitialized()
    {
        Orders = Enumerable.Range(1, 75).Select(x => new Order()
        {
            OrderID = 1000 + x,
            CustomerID = (new string[] { "ALFKI", "ANANTR", "ANTON", "BLONP", "BOLID" })[new Random().Next(5)],
            Freight = 2.1 * x,
            OrderDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-x),
        }).ToList();
    }

    public class Order
    {
        public int? OrderID { get; set; }
        public string CustomerID { get; set; }
        public DateTime? OrderDate { get; set; }
        public double? Freight { get; set; }
    }
}

The following screenshot represents the Column Validation in Normal Editing. Validation Rules

Provide new item or edited item using events

Grid uses Activator.CreateInstance<TValue>() to create or clone new record instance during add and edit operations, so it is must to have parameterless constructor defined for the model class.

There are cases where custom logic is required for creating new object or new object instance cannot be created using Activator.CreateInstance<TValue>(). In such cases you can provide model object instance manually using events.

Normal or Dialog editing

You can use OnActionBegin event to provide new object instance during editing operation. The new object should be assigned to the OnActionBegin<TValue>.Data property.

In the following example:

  • A model class with no parameter-less constructor is bound with grid.
  • Enabled inline editing feature in grid.
  • OnActionBegin event callback is assigned in which Data property is assigned with custom object for both add and edit operation.

    public void ActionBegin(ActionEventArgs<Order> arg)
    {
        //Handles add operation

        public DateTime? OrderDate { get; set; }
        public double? Freight { get; set; }
    }
}

Batch editing

You can use OnBatchAdd and OnCellEdit event to provide new object instance during add and cell edit operation respectively.

For add operation assign new object to the OnBatchAdd.DefaultData property. For cell edit, assign cloned object in the OnCellEdit.Data property.

In the following example:

  • A model class with no parameter-less constructor is bound with grid.
  • Enabled batch editing feature in grid.
  • OnBatchAdd event callback is assigned in which DefaultData property is assigned with custom object for add operation.
  • OnCellEdit event callback is assigned in which Data property is assigned with custom object for handling edit operation.

Entity Framework

This section uses and follows the code explained in the Entity Framework data binding section hence we recommend you to refer Entity framework data binding section before continue this section.

Handle CRUD in data access layer class

Now add methods AddOrder, UpdateOrder, DeleteOrder in the “OrderDataAccessLayer.cs” to handle the insert, update and remove operations respectively.CRUD record details are bound to the Order parameter. Please refer the following code.

using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using EFGrid.Shared.Models;

namespace EFGrid.Shared.DataAccess
{
    public class OrderDataAccessLayer
    {
        OrderContext db = new OrderContext();
        public DbSet<Order> GetAllOrders()
        {
            try
            {
                return db.Orders;
            }
            catch
            {
                throw;
            }
        }
        public void AddOrder(Order Order)
        {
            try
            {
                db.Orders.Add(Order);
                db.SaveChanges();
            }
            catch
            {
                throw;
            }
        }
        public void UpdateOrder(Order Order)
        {
            try
            {
                db.Entry(Order).State = EntityState.Modified;
                db.SaveChanges();
            }
            catch
            {
                throw;
            }
        }
        public void DeleteOrder(int id)
        {
            try
            {
                Order ord = db.Orders.Find(id);
                db.Orders.Remove(ord);
                db.SaveChanges();
            }
            catch
            {
                throw;
            }
        }
    }
}

Enable CRUD in Web API

Now you have to create a new Post, Put, Delete method in the Web API controller which will perform the CRUD operations and returns the appropriate resultant data. The ‘SfDataManager’ will make requests to this action based on route name.

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Primitives;
using EFGrid.Shared.DataAccess;
using EFGrid.Shared.Models;

namespace WebApplication1.Server.Controllers
{
    [Route("api/[controller]")]
    [ApiController]
    public class DefaultController : ControllerBase
    {
        OrderDataAccessLayer db = new OrderDataAccessLayer();
        [HttpGet]
        public object Get()
        {

            IQueryable<Order> data = db.GetAllOrders().AsQueryable();
            var count = data.Count();
            var queryString = Request.Query;
            if (queryString.Keys.Contains("$inlinecount"))
            {
                StringValues Skip;
                StringValues Take;
                int skip = (queryString.TryGetValue("$skip", out Skip)) ? Convert.ToInt32(Skip[0]) : 0;
                int top = (queryString.TryGetValue("$top", out Take)) ? Convert.ToInt32(Take[0]) : data.Count();
                return new { Items = data.Skip(skip).Take(top), Count = count };
            }
            else
            {
                return data;
            }
        }
        [HttpGet("{id}", Name = "Get")]
        public string Get(int id)
        {
            return "value";
        }
        [HttpPost]
        public void Post([FromBody]Order Order)
        {

            Random rand = new Random();
            db.AddOrder(Order);

        }
        [HttpPut]
        public object Put([FromBody]Order Order)
        {
            db.UpdateOrder(Order);
            return Order;
        }
        [HttpDelete("{id}")]
        public void Delete(int id)
        {
            db.DeleteOrder(id);
        }
    }
}

Configure the datagrid to perform CRUD operations

@using Syncfusion.Blazor
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Grids

<SfGrid TValue="Order" AllowPaging="true" Toolbar="@(new List<string>() { "Add", "Edit", "Delete", "Cancel", "Update" })">
    <SfDataManager Url="api/Default" Adaptor="Adaptors.WebApiAdaptor"></SfDataManager>
    <GridEditSettings AllowAdding="true" AllowDeleting="true" AllowEditing="true" Mode="EditMode.Normal"></GridEditSettings>
        <GridColumns>
            <GridColumn Field="OrderID" HeaderText="Order ID" IsPrimaryKey="true" IsIdentity="true" TextAlign="@Syncfusion.Blazor.Grids.TextAlign.Right" Width="90"></GridColumn>
            <GridColumn Field="CustomerID" HeaderText="Customer ID" Width="90"></GridColumn>
            <GridColumn Field="EmployeeID" HeaderText="Employee ID" Width="90"></GridColumn>
        </GridColumns>
</SfGrid>

@code{
    public class Order {
        public int? OrderID { get; set; }
        public string  CustomerID { get; set; }
        public DateTime? OrderDate { get; set; }
        public double? Freight { get; set; }
    }
}

You can find the fully working sample here.

Performing CRUD operations programmatically

You can perform CRUD operations like Add , Update , Delete by using the AddRecord , UpdateRow , DeleteRow methods.

  • AddRecord - Add a new record into the datagrid
  • UpdateRow - Update a existing record in a datagrid.
  • DeleteRow - Delete a selected row in the datagrid
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Grids
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Buttons

<SfButton @onclick="Add"> Add </SfButton>
<SfButton @onclick="Update"> Update - 1001 </SfButton>
<SfButton @onclick="Delete"> Delete the selected row </SfButton>

<SfGrid DataSource="@Orders" AllowPaging="true" @ref="Grid" Height="315">
    <GridEditSettings AllowAdding="true" AllowEditing="true" AllowDeleting="true"></GridEditSettings>
    <GridColumns>

        <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.ShipCountry) HeaderText="Ship Country" EditType="EditType.DropDownEdit" Width="150"></GridColumn>
    </GridColumns>
</SfGrid>

@code{
    public List<Order> Orders { get; set; }
    SfGrid<Order> Grid;

    public async Task Add()
    {
        Order adddata = new Order()
        {
            OrderID = 1000,
            CustomerID = "MJDGX",
            ShipCountry = "LONDON",
            Freight = 3.01
        };
        await this.Grid.AddRecord(adddata);
    }

    public async Task Update()
    {
        Order data = new Order() { OrderID = 1001, CustomerID = "ABCDE", ShipCountry = "LONDON", Freight = 2.91 };
        await this.Grid.UpdateRow(1, data);
    }

    public async Task Delete()
    {
        await this.Grid.DeleteRecord();
    }

    protected override void OnInitialized()
    {
        Orders = Enumerable.Range(1, 75).Select(x => new Order()
        {
            OrderID = 1000 + x,
            CustomerID = (new string[] { "ALFKI", "ANANTR", "ANTON", "BLONP", "BOLID" })[new Random().Next(5)],
            Freight = 2.1 * x,
            OrderDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-x),
            ShipCountry = (new string[] { "USA", "UK", "CHINA", "RUSSIA", "INDIA" })[new Random().Next(5)]
        }).ToList();
    }

    public class Order
    {
        public int? OrderID { get; set; }
        public string CustomerID { get; set; }
        public DateTime? OrderDate { get; set; }
        public double? Freight { get; set; }
        public string ShipCountry { get; set; }
    }
}

Dialog template

Before adding dialog template to the datagrid, we strongly recommend you to go through the Template section topic to configure the template.

To know about customizing the Dialog Template in Blazor DataGrid Component, you can check this video.

The dialog template editing provides an option to customize the default behavior of dialog editing. Using the dialog template, you can render your own editors by defining the GridEditSettings component’s Mode property as Dialog and wrapping the HTML elements inside the Template property of GridEditSettings.

Custom components inside the Dialog Template must be specified with two-way (@bind-Value) binding to reflect the changes in DataGrid.

In some cases, you would need to add new field editors in the dialog which are not present in the column model. In that case, the dialog template will help you to customize the default edit dialog.

The following sample code demonstrates DataGrid enabled with dialog template editing,

Disable components in dialog template

It is possible to disable particular components rendered inside the dialog template using the data source value. This can be achieved by utilizing the Enabled property of the components which specifies whether the component is enabled or disabled.

This is demonstrated in the below sample code where if the RequestType argument value of the OnActionBegin event is BeginEdit then the Enabled property of the OrderID Textbox is set to false.

Set focus to editor

By default, the first input element in the dialog will be focused while opening it. If the first input element is in disabled or hidden state, you can set focus to the required input element in the corresponding components Created or DataBound event.

This is demonstrated in the below sample code where the first input element is in disabled state. So the CustomerID Autocomplete component is focused by invoking its FocusIn method in the AutoComplete’s DataBound event.

 await this.AutoComplete.FocusIn();
    }
}

<style>
    .form-group.col-md-6 {
        width: 200px;
    }

    label.e-float-text {
        position: relative;
        padding-left: 0;
        top: 10%;
    }
</style>

The following image represents the AutoComplete component in focused state inside the dialog template of the DataGrid component, Dynamic focus of components

Inline Template

Before adding Inline template to the datagrid, we strongly recommend you to go through the Template section topic to configure the template.

The Inline template editing provides an option to customize the default behavior of Inline editing. Using the Inline template, you can render your own editors by defining the GridEditSettings component’s Mode property as Normal and wrapping the HTML elements inside the Template property of GridEditSettings.

Custom components inside the Inline Template must be specified with two-way (@bind-Value) binding to reflect the changes in DataGrid.

In some cases, you would need to add new field editors in the Inline editing which are not present in the column model. In that case, the Inline template editing will help you to customize the default editing.

The following sample code demonstrates DataGrid enabled with Inline template editing,

        padding-left: 0;
        top: 10%;
    }
</style>

In the above sample code, the textbox rendered for OrderID column inside the Inline editing template is disabled using its Enabled property to prevent editing of the primary key column.

Adding a new row at the bottom of the datagrid

By default, a new row will be added at the top of the datagrid. You can change it by setting NewRowPosition property of the GridEditSettings component as Bottom.

The following sample code demonstrates changing the position of the new row that gets added in the DataGrid component,

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Grids

<SfGrid DataSource="@Orders" Height="315" AllowPaging="true" Toolbar="@(new List<string>() { "Add", "Edit", "Delete", "Update", "Cancel" })">
    <GridEditSettings AllowAdding="true" AllowEditing="true" AllowDeleting="true" NewRowPosition="NewRowPosition.Bottom"></GridEditSettings>
    <GridColumns>
        <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.OrderID) HeaderText="Order ID" IsPrimaryKey="true" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="120"></GridColumn>
        <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.CustomerID) HeaderText="Customer Name" Width="120"></GridColumn>
        <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.OrderDate) HeaderText=" Order Date" EditType="EditType.DatePickerEdit" Format="d" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="130" Type="ColumnType.Date"></GridColumn>
        <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.Freight) HeaderText="Freight" Format="C2" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="120"></GridColumn>
    </GridColumns>
</SfGrid>

@code{
    public List<Order> Orders { get; set; }

    protected override void OnInitialized()
    {
        Orders = Enumerable.Range(1, 75).Select(x => new Order()
        {
            OrderID = 1000 + x,
            CustomerID = (new string[] { "ALFKI", "ANANTR", "ANTON", "BLONP", "BOLID" })[new Random().Next(5)],
            Freight = 2.1 * x,
            OrderDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-x),
        }).ToList();
    }

    public class Order {
        public int? OrderID { get; set; }
        public string CustomerID { get; set; }
        public DateTime? OrderDate { get; set; }
        public double? Freight { get; set; }
    }
}

The following image represents the new row added at the bottom of the DataGrid, New Row Position

Confirmation messages

It is possible to display confirmation dialog’s on performing deletion or batch operations on the DataGrid records.

Delete confirmation

The delete confirm dialog can be shown on deleting a record by setting the ShowDeleteConfirmDialog property of the GridEditSettings component as true.

The following sample code demonstrates enabling delete confirmation dialog in the DataGrid component,

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Grids

<SfGrid DataSource="@Orders" Height="315" AllowPaging="true" Toolbar="@(new List<string>() { "Add", "Edit", "Delete", "Update", "Cancel" })">
    <GridEditSettings AllowAdding="true" AllowEditing="true" AllowDeleting="true" ShowDeleteConfirmDialog="true"></GridEditSettings>
    <GridColumns>
        <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.OrderID) HeaderText="Order ID" IsPrimaryKey="true" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="120"></GridColumn>
        <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.CustomerID) HeaderText="Customer Name" Width="120"></GridColumn>
        <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.OrderDate) HeaderText=" Order Date" EditType="EditType.DatePickerEdit" Format="d" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="130" Type="ColumnType.Date"></GridColumn>
        <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.Freight) HeaderText="Freight" Format="C2" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="120"></GridColumn>
    </GridColumns>
</SfGrid>

@code{
    public List<Order> Orders { get; set; }

    protected override void OnInitialized()
    {
        Orders = Enumerable.Range(1, 75).Select(x => new Order()
        {
            OrderID = 1000 + x,
            CustomerID = (new string[] { "ALFKI", "ANANTR", "ANTON", "BLONP", "BOLID" })[new Random().Next(5)],
            Freight = 2.1 * x,
            OrderDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-x),
        }).ToList();
    }

    public class Order
    {
        public int? OrderID { get; set; }
        public string CustomerID { get; set; }
        public DateTime? OrderDate { get; set; }
        public double? Freight { get; set; }
    }
}

The following GIF represents the delete confirmation dialog displayed while deleting a record in DataGrid, Delete confirmation dialog

The ShowDeleteConfirmDialog supports all type of edit modes.

Batch confirmation

The confirmation dialog can be enabled for all the batch operations by setting the ShowConfirmDialog property of the GridEditSettings component as true.

The following sample code demonstrates enabling confirmation dialog for batch operations in the DataGrid component,

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Grids

<SfGrid DataSource="@Orders" Height="315" AllowPaging="true" AllowSorting="true" Toolbar="@(new List<string>() { "Add", "Edit", "Delete", "Update", "Cancel" })">
    <GridEditSettings AllowAdding="true" AllowEditing="true" AllowDeleting="true" ShowConfirmDialog="true" ShowDeleteConfirmDialog="true" Mode="EditMode.Batch"></GridEditSettings>
    <GridColumns>
        <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.OrderID) HeaderText="Order ID" IsPrimaryKey="true" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="120"></GridColumn>
        <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.CustomerID) HeaderText="Customer Name" Width="120"></GridColumn>
        <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.OrderDate) HeaderText=" Order Date" EditType="EditType.DatePickerEdit" Format="d" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="130" Type="ColumnType.Date"></GridColumn>
        <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.Freight) HeaderText="Freight" Format="C2" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="120"></GridColumn>
    </GridColumns>
</SfGrid>

@code{
    public List<Order> Orders { get; set; }

    protected override void OnInitialized()
    {
        Orders = Enumerable.Range(1, 75).Select(x => new Order()
        {
            OrderID = 1000 + x,
            CustomerID = (new string[] { "ALFKI", "ANANTR", "ANTON", "BLONP", "BOLID" })[new Random().Next(5)],
            Freight = 2.1 * x,
            OrderDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-x),
        }).ToList();
    }

    public class Order
    {
        public int? OrderID { get; set; }
        public string CustomerID { get; set; }
        public DateTime? OrderDate { get; set; }
        public double? Freight { get; set; }
    }
}

The following GIF represents the confirmation dialog displayed while performing batch operations in DataGrid, Confirmation dialog

Enabling ShowConfirmDialog requires the Mode property value of the GridEditSettings component to be Batch. If ShowConfirmDialog is set to false, then confirmation dialog will not be displayed on batch editing.

Default column values on adding new record

The datagrid provides an option to set the default value for the columns when adding a new record in it. To set a default value for a particular column you need to define it in the DefaultValue property of the GridColumn component.

The following sample code demonstrates setting default value as ANTON to the CustomerID column,

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Grids

<SfGrid DataSource="@Orders" Height="315" AllowPaging="true" Toolbar="@(new List<string>() { "Add", "Edit", "Delete", "Update", "Cancel" })">
    <GridEditSettings AllowAdding="true" AllowEditing="true" AllowDeleting="true"></GridEditSettings>
    <GridColumns>
        <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.OrderID) HeaderText="Order ID" IsPrimaryKey="true" Width="120"></GridColumn>
        <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.CustomerID) HeaderText="Customer Name" Width="120" DefaultValue="@("ANTON")"></GridColumn>
        <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.OrderDate) HeaderText=" Order Date" EditType="EditType.DatePickerEdit" Format="d" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="130" Type="ColumnType.Date"></GridColumn>
        <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.Freight) HeaderText="Freight" Format="C2" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="120"></GridColumn>
    </GridColumns>
</SfGrid>

@code{
    public List<Order> Orders { get; set; }

    protected override void OnInitialized()
    {
        Orders = Enumerable.Range(1, 75).Select(x => new Order()
        {
            OrderID = 1000 + x,
            CustomerID = (new string[] { "ALFKI", "ANANTR", "ANTON", "BLONP", "BOLID" })[new Random().Next(5)],
            Freight = 2.1 * x,
            OrderDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-x),
        }).ToList();
    }

    public class Order
    {
        public int? OrderID { get; set; }
        public string CustomerID { get; set; }
        public DateTime? OrderDate { get; set; }
        public double? Freight { get; set; }
    }
}

The following image represents the default value displayed in the CustomerID column while adding a new record in DataGrid, Default Column Value

Disable editing for particular column

You can disable editing for particular columns by setting value as false to the AllowEditing property of the GridColumn component.

The following sample code demonstrates editing disabled for the CustomerID column,

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Grids

<SfGrid DataSource="@Orders" Height="315" AllowPaging="true" Toolbar="@(new List<string>() { "Add", "Edit", "Delete", "Update", "Cancel" })">
    <GridEditSettings AllowAdding="true" AllowEditing="true" AllowDeleting="true"></GridEditSettings>
    <GridColumns>
        <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.OrderID) HeaderText="Order ID" IsPrimaryKey="true" Width="120"></GridColumn>
        <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.CustomerID) HeaderText="Customer Name" Width="120" AllowEditing="false"></GridColumn>
        <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.OrderDate) HeaderText=" Order Date" EditType="EditType.DatePickerEdit" Format="d" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="130" Type="ColumnType.Date"></GridColumn>
        <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.Freight) HeaderText="Freight" Format="C2" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="120"></GridColumn>
    </GridColumns>
</SfGrid>

@code{
    public List<Order> Orders { get; set; }

    protected override void OnInitialized()
    {
        Orders = Enumerable.Range(1, 75).Select(x => new Order()
        {
            OrderID = 1000 + x,
            CustomerID = (new string[] { "ALFKI", "ANANTR", "ANTON", "BLONP", "BOLID" })[new Random().Next(5)],
            Freight = 2.1 * x,
            OrderDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-x),
        }).ToList();
    }

    public class Order
    {
        public int? OrderID { get; set; }
        public string CustomerID { get; set; }
        public DateTime? OrderDate { get; set; }
        public double? Freight { get; set; }
    }
}

Similarly AllowAdding property at the column level helps us to disable the particular column from inserting value to it.

The following screenshot represents the editing disabled for the CustomerID column in DataGrid, Editing Disabled

Troubleshoot: Editing works only for first row

The Editing functionalities can be performed based upon the primary key value of the selected row. If PrimaryKey is not defined in the datagrid, then edit or delete action take places in the first row.

Event trace while editing

While editing operation is getting executed the following events will be notified,

  • OnActionBegin
  • OnActionComplete

In both these events the type of editing operation is returned in the RequestType parameter of the event arguments. In addition to this, the event arguments also return the edited row data.

The RequestType values for the editing operations are listed in the below table,

RequestType OnActionBegin OnActionComplete
BeginEdit Before editing operation begins After editing operation is completed
Add Before add operation begins After add operation is completed
Delete Before delete operation begins After delete operation is completed
Save Before save operation begins After save operation is completed
Cancel Before cancel operation begins After cancel operation is completed

The following sample code demonstrates the different RequestType parameters returned while performing editing operations in the OnActionBegin and OnActionComplete event,

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Grids

<SfGrid DataSource="@Orders" AllowPaging="true" Toolbar="@(new List<string>() { "Add", "Edit", "Delete", "Cancel", "Update" })" Height="315">

        <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.OrderDate) HeaderText=" Order Date" EditType="EditType.DatePickerEdit" Format="d" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="130" Type="ColumnType.Date"></GridColumn>
        <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.Freight) HeaderText="Freight" Format="C2" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="120"></GridColumn>
    </GridColumns>
</SfGrid>

@code{
    public List<Order> Orders { get; set; }

    protected override void OnInitialized()
    {
        Orders = Enumerable.Range(1, 75).Select(x => new Order()
        {
            OrderID = 1000 + x,
            CustomerID = (new string[] { "ALFKI", "ANANTR", "ANTON", "BLONP", "BOLID" })[new Random().Next(5)],
            Freight = 2.1 * x,
            OrderDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-x),
        }).ToList();
    }

    public class Order

        public int? OrderID { get; set; }
        public string CustomerID { get; set; }
        public DateTime? OrderDate { get; set; }
        public double? Freight { get; set; }
    }

    public void ActionBegin(ActionEventArgs<Order> args)
    {
        if (args.RequestType == Syncfusion.Blazor.Grids.Action.BeginEdit)
        {
            // Triggers before editing operation starts
        }
        else if (args.RequestType == Syncfusion.Blazor.Grids.Action.Add)

    }

    public void ActionComplete(ActionEventArgs<Order> args)
    {
        if (args.RequestType == Syncfusion.Blazor.Grids.Action.BeginEdit)
        {
            // Triggers once editing operation completes
        }
        else if (args.RequestType == Syncfusion.Blazor.Grids.Action.Add)
        {

        {
            // Triggers once delete operation completes
        }
    }
}

Customize the edit dialog

You can use HeaderTemplate and FooterTemplate of the GridEditSettings component to customize the appearance of edit dialog.

In the below example we have changed the dialog’s header text and footer button content for editing and adding records.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Buttons
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Grids

                <span>@text</span>
            }
        </HeaderTemplate>
        <FooterTemplate>
            <SfButton OnClick="@Save" IsPrimary="true">@ButtonText</SfButton>
