This section briefly explains about how to include Blazor Range Selector (RangeNavigator) component in your Blazor Web App using Visual Studio.

Prerequisites

System requirements for Blazor components

Create a new Blazor Web App

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 RangeNavigator and Themes NuGet in the App

To add Blazor Range Selector 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.RangeNavigator and Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes.

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.RangeNavigator -Version 26.2.4
Install-Package Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes -Version 26.2.4

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

Open ~/_Imports.razor file and import the Syncfusion.Blazor and Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts namespace .

@using Syncfusion.Blazor
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts

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

If you select an Interactive render mode as WebAssembly or Auto, you need to register the Syncfusion Blazor service in both ~/Program.cs files of your Blazor Web App.

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

Add stylesheet and script resources

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

<head>
    ....
    <link href="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes/bootstrap5.css" rel="stylesheet" />
</head>

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

NOTE

Check out the Blazor Themes topic to discover various methods (Static Web Assets, CDN, and CRG) for referencing themes in your Blazor application. Also, check out the Adding Script Reference topic to learn different approaches for adding script references in your Blazor application.

Add Syncfusion Blazor Range Selector component

Add the Syncfusion Blazor Range Selector component in the ~Pages/.razor file. If an interactivity location as Per page/component in the web app, define a render mode at the top of the ~Pages/.razor component, as follows:

RAZOR

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

RAZOR

<SfRangeNavigator>

</SfRangeNavigator>

Populate Blazor Range Navigator with Data

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

RAZOR

@code {
    public class StockPrice
    {
        public DateTime Date { get; set; }
        public double Close { get; set; }
    }

    public List<StockPrice> StockDetails = new List<StockPrice>
    {
        new StockPrice { Date = new DateTime(2005, 01, 01), Close = 21 },
        new StockPrice { Date = new DateTime(2006, 01, 01), Close = 24 },
        new StockPrice { Date = new DateTime(2007, 01, 01), Close = 36 },
        new StockPrice { Date = new DateTime(2008, 01, 01), Close = 38 },
        new StockPrice { Date = new DateTime(2009, 01, 01), Close = 54 },
        new StockPrice { Date = new DateTime(2010, 01, 01), Close = 57 },
        new StockPrice { Date = new DateTime(2011, 01, 01), Close = 62 }
    };
}

Now map Date and Close fields from the datasource to XName and YName properties of the RangeNavigatorSeries and then set the StockDetails to DataSource property.

RAZOR
<SfRangeNavigator ValueType="RangeValueType.DateTime" IntervalType="RangeIntervalType.Years" LabelFormat="yyyy">
    <RangeNavigatorSeriesCollection>
        <RangeNavigatorSeries DataSource="@StockDetails" XName="Date" Type="RangeNavigatorType.Area" YName="Close"></RangeNavigatorSeries>
    </RangeNavigatorSeriesCollection>
</SfRangeNavigator>

Press Ctrl+F5 (Windows) or ⌘+F5 (macOS) to launch the application. This will render the Syncfusion Blazor Range Selector component in your default web browser.
