18 Apr 20262 minutes to read

This guide explains how to convert an existing Blazor application into a Syncfusion® Blazor application using the Syncfusion® Project Conversion wizard for Visual Studio. The conversion installs required Syncfusion® NuGet packages and applies your selected theme stylesheet.

NOTE

Ensure the Syncfusion® Blazor Template Studio extension is installed in Visual Studio (Extensions → Manage Extensions → Installed). If not installed, follow the steps in the download and installation topic.

Supported project types

  • Blazor Web App (Server or WebAssembly rendering)
  • Blazor Server App
  • Blazor WebAssembly App (standalone or ASP.NET Core hosted)
  • Blazor WebAssembly App (Progressive Web Application)

Steps

  1. Open your Blazor project in Visual Studio.

  2. Launch the Syncfusion® Project Conversion wizard by either:

    • Choosing Extensions → Syncfusion® → Essential Studio® for Blazor → Convert Project…

      Open Convert Project from the Extensions menu in Visual Studio

    • Or right-clicking the project in Solution Explorer, selecting Syncfusion® Blazor, then Convert to Syncfusion® Blazor application…

      Open Convert Project from the Solution Explorer context menu

  3. In the Project Conversion window, select the target Syncfusion® Blazor version and the theme to apply.

    NOTE

    Versions are read from the Syncfusion® Blazor NuGet packages on NuGet.org and require an internet connection.

  4. (Optional) Enable Enable a backup before converting to save a copy of your original project to a chosen backup location.

  5. After conversion finishes, you will see a confirmation message.

  6. The conversion updates your project with the required Syncfusion® Blazor NuGet packages and adds the selected theme stylesheet.

  7. If you installed packages from nuget.org or the trial setup, register your Syncfusion® license key. Licensing was introduced in the 2018 Volume 2 (v16.2.0.41) release. See the licensing overview and key generation guide for details. For background, see the 2018 Volume 2 announcement.
