DataGrid: Binding Data
Basic Example
<DataGrid TItem="Employee" Data="" @bind-SelectedRow="" Responsive> <DataGridCommandColumn TItem="Employee" /> <DataGridColumn TItem="Employee" Field="@nameof(Employee.Id)" Caption="#" Sortable="false" /> <DataGridColumn TItem="Employee" Field="@nameof(Employee.FirstName)" Caption="First Name" Editable="true" /> <DataGridColumn TItem="Employee" Field="@nameof(Employee.LastName)" Caption="Last Name" Editable="true" /> <DataGridColumn TItem="Employee" Field="@nameof(Employee.Email)" Caption="Email" Editable="true" /> <DataGridColumn TItem="Employee" Field="@nameof(Employee.Salary)" Caption="Salary" DisplayFormat="{0:C}" DisplayFormatProvider="@System.Globalization.CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("fr-FR")" Editable="true"> <EditTemplate> <NumericEdit TValue="decimal" Value="@((decimal)context.CellValue)" ValueChanged="@( v => context.CellValue = v)" /> </EditTemplate> </DataGridColumn> </DataGrid>
@code{ [Inject] public EmployeeData EmployeeData { get; set; } private List<Employee> employeeList; private Employee selectedEmployee; protected override async Task OnInitializedAsync() { employeeList = await EmployeeData.GetDataAsync(); await base.OnInitializedAsync(); } }
Large Data
By default, DataGrid will load everything in memory and it will perform the necessary operations like paging, sorting and filtering. For large datasets this is impractical and so for these scenarios it is advised to load data page-by-page.
This is accomplished with the use of ReadData event handler and TotalItems attribute. When you define the usage of ReadData the DataGrid will automatically switch to manual mode and every interaction with the grid will be proxied through the ReadData. This means that you as a developer will be responsible for all the loading, filtering and sorting of the data.

Bellow you can find a basic example of how to load large data and apply it to the DataGrid.
Just as in the previous example everything is the same except that now we must define the attribute ReadData and TotalItems. They’re used to handle all of the loading, filtering and sorting of an actual data.
<DataGrid TItem="Employee" Data="" ReadData="" TotalItems="" PageSize="1" ShowPager Responsive> <DataGridCommandColumn TItem="Employee" /> <DataGridColumn TItem="Employee" Field="@nameof(Employee.Id)" Caption="#" Sortable="false" /> <DataGridColumn TItem="Employee" Field="@nameof(Employee.FirstName)" Caption="First Name" Editable="true" /> <DataGridColumn TItem="Employee" Field="@nameof(Employee.LastName)" Caption="Last Name" Editable="true" /> <DataGridColumn TItem="Employee" Field="@nameof(Employee.Salary)" Caption="Salary" DisplayFormat="{0:C}" DisplayFormatProvider="@System.Globalization.CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("fr-FR")" Editable="true"> <EditTemplate> <NumericEdit TValue="decimal" Value="@((decimal)context.CellValue)" ValueChanged="@( v => context.CellValue = v)" /> </EditTemplate> </DataGridColumn> </DataGrid>
@code{ [Inject] public EmployeeData EmployeeData { get; set; } private List<Employee> employeeList; protected override async Task OnInitializedAsync() { employeeList = await EmployeeData.GetDataAsync(); await base.OnInitializedAsync(); } private int totalEmployees; private async Task OnReadData( DataGridReadDataEventArgs<Employee> e ) { if ( !e.CancellationToken.IsCancellationRequested ) { List<Employee> response = null; // this can be call to anything, in this case we're calling a fictional api //var response = await Http.GetJsonAsync<Employee[]>( $"some-api/employees?page={e.Page}&pageSize={e.PageSize}" ); if ( e.ReadDataMode is DataGridReadDataMode.Virtualize ) response = (await EmployeeData.GetDataAsync()).Skip( e.VirtualizeOffset ).Take( e.VirtualizeCount ).ToList(); else if ( e.ReadDataMode is DataGridReadDataMode.Paging ) response = (await EmployeeData.GetDataAsync()).Skip( ( e.Page - 1 ) * e.PageSize ).Take( e.PageSize ).ToList(); else throw new Exception( "Unhandled ReadDataMode" ); if ( !e.CancellationToken.IsCancellationRequested ) { totalEmployees = (await EmployeeData.GetDataAsync()).Count; employeeList = new List<Employee>( response ); // an actual data for the current page } } } }
Virtualization
By settingVirtualize, you will enable virtualize capabilities on the DataGrid, meaning that instead of having pagination, you’ll be able to scroll across the data with perceived improved performance.
Virtualization is a technique for limiting UI rendering to just the parts that are currently visible. For example, virtualization is helpful when the app must render a long list of items and only a subset of items is required to be visible at any given time.
You will still have access to every available DataGrid feature. VirtualizeOptions allows to further customize the Virtualize feature.
Note that this mode requires that all rows have the same height.
<DataGrid TItem="Employee" Data="" @bind-SelectedRow="" Responsive Virtualize VirtualizeOptions="@(new() { DataGridHeight = "250px"})"> <DataGridCommandColumn TItem="Employee" /> <DataGridColumn TItem="Employee" Field="@nameof(Employee.Id)" Caption="#" Sortable="false" /> <DataGridColumn TItem="Employee" Field="@nameof(Employee.FirstName)" Caption="First Name" Editable="true" /> <DataGridColumn TItem="Employee" Field="@nameof(Employee.LastName)" Caption="Last Name" Editable="true" /> <DataGridColumn TItem="Employee" Field="@nameof(Employee.Email)" Caption="Email" Editable="true" /> <DataGridColumn TItem="Employee" Field="@nameof(Employee.Salary)" Caption="Salary" DisplayFormat="{0:C}" DisplayFormatProvider="@System.Globalization.CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("fr-FR")" Editable="true"> <EditTemplate> <NumericEdit TValue="decimal" Value="@((decimal)context.CellValue)" ValueChanged="@( v => context.CellValue = v)" /> </EditTemplate> </DataGridColumn> </DataGrid>
@code { [Inject] public EmployeeData EmployeeData { get; set; } private List<Employee> employeeList; private Employee selectedEmployee; protected override async Task OnInitializedAsync() { employeeList = await EmployeeData.GetDataAsync(); await base.OnInitializedAsync(); } }
