18 Nov 20188 minutes to read
This section briefly explains about how to include Blazor Linear Gauge component in a Blazor Server App using Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, and the .NET CLI.
Prerequisites
Create a new Blazor App in Visual Studio
Create a Blazor Server App by using the Blazor Web App template in Visual Studio via Microsoft Templates or the Syncfusion® Blazor Extension. For detailed instructions, refer to the Blazor Server App Getting Started documentation.
Prerequisites
Create a new Blazor App in Visual Studio Code
Create a Blazor Server App using Visual Studio Code via Microsoft Templates or the Syncfusion® Blazor Extension. For detailed instructions, refer to the Blazor Server App Getting Started documentation.
Alternatively, create a Server application by using the following command in the integrated terminal (Ctrl+`).
dotnet new blazor -o BlazorApp -int Server
cd BlazorAppPrerequisites
Install the latest version of .NET SDK. If the .NET SDK is already installed, determine the installed version by running the following command in a command prompt (Windows), terminal (macOS), or command shell (Linux).
dotnet --versionCreate a Blazor Server App using .NET CLI
Run the following command to create a new Blazor Server App in a command prompt (Windows) or terminal (macOS) or command shell (Linux). For detailed instructions, refer to the Blazor Server App Getting Started documentation.
dotnet new blazor -o BlazorApp -int Server
cd BlazorAppNOTE
Configure the appropriate Interactive render mode and Interactivity location while creating a Blazor Server App. For detailed information, refer to the interactive render mode documentation.
Install required Blazor packages
Install Syncfusion.Blazor.LinearGauge NuGet package in your project using the NuGet Package Manager in Visual Studio (Tools → NuGet Package Manager → Manage NuGet Packages for Solution), or the integrated terminal in Visual Studio Code (dotnet add package), or the .NET CLI.
Alternatively, run the following command in the Package Manager Console to achieve the same.
Install-Package Syncfusion.Blazor.LinearGauge -Version 34.1.29NOTE
All Syncfusion Blazor packages are available on nuget.org. See the NuGet packages topic for details.
Add import namespaces
After the packages are installed, open the ~/_Imports.razor file and import the Syncfusion.Blazor and Syncfusion.Blazor.LinearGauge namespaces.
@using Syncfusion.Blazor
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.LinearGaugeRegister Blazor service
Register the Blazor service in the Program.cs file of your Blazor Server App.
....
using Syncfusion.Blazor;
....
builder.Services.AddSyncfusionBlazor();
....Add script resources
The script can be accessed from NuGet through Static Web Assets. Include the script reference in the ~/Components/App.razor file.
<script src="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor.Core/scripts/syncfusion-blazor.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>NOTE
Check out the Adding Script Reference topic to learn different approaches for adding script references in your Blazor application.
Add Blazor LinearGauge component
Add the Blazor LinearGauge component in the ~/Components/Pages/Home.razor file. If the interactivity location is set to Per page/component, define a render mode at the top of the ~Pages/Home.razor file.
NOTE
If the Interactivity Location is set to
Global, the render mode is automatically configured in theApp.razorfile by default.
@* desired render mode define here *@
@rendermode InteractiveServer<SfLinearGauge>
<LinearGaugeAxes>

</LinearGaugePointers>
</LinearGaugeAxis>
</LinearGaugeAxes>
</SfLinearGauge>- Press Ctrl+F5 (Windows) or ⌘+F5 (macOS) to launch the application. This will render the Blazor LinearGauge component in the default web browser.
NOTE
Set pointer value
Pointers are used to indicate values on an axis. You can change the pointer value using the PointerValue property in the LinearGaugePointer.
NOTE
In LinearGauge, you can configure multiple axes. On each axis, you can add a pointer.

</SfLinearGauge>
Add a title for Blazor LinearGauge
The title can be added to the linear gauge to provide a piece of quick information to the users about the context of the rendered linear gauge. You can add the title to the linear gauge using Title property in SfLinearGauge.
<SfLinearGauge Title="Linear Gauge">

</LinearGaugePointers>
</LinearGaugeAxis>
</LinearGaugeAxes>
</SfLinearGauge>
Add ranges in the Blazor LinearGauge
The range is used to specify a group of scale values in the gauge. You can set the range start and end using Start and End properties in the LinearGaugeRange. You can add any number of ranges for an axis using LinearGaugeRange.
