To add ASP.NET Core controls in the application, open the NuGet package manager in Visual Studio (Tools → NuGet Package Manager → Manage NuGet Packages for Solution), search for Syncfusion.EJ2.AspNet.Core and then install it.

~/_ViewImports.cshtml
@addTagHelper *, Syncfusion.EJ2

Add style sheet

Checkout the Themes topic to learn different ways (CDN, NPM package, and CRG) to refer styles in ASP.NET Core application, and to have the expected appearance for Syncfusion ASP.NET Core controls. Here, the theme is referred using CDN inside the <head> of ~/Pages/Shared/_Layout.cshtml file as follows,

~/_Layout.cshtml
<head>
    ...
    <!-- Syncfusion ASP.NET Core controls styles -->
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/21.1.35/fluent.css" />
</head>

Add script reference

~/_Layout.cshtml
<head>
    ...
    <!-- Syncfusion ASP.NET Core controls scripts -->
    <script src="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/21.1.35/dist/ej2.min.js"></script>
</head>

Register Syncfusion script manager

Open ~/Pages/Shared/_Layout.cshtml page and register the script manager at the end of `<body>` in the ASP.NET Core application as follows.

~/_Layout.cshtml
<body>
...
    <!-- Syncfusion ASP.NET Core Script Manager -->
    <ejs-scripts></ejs-scripts>
</body>

Add ASP.NET Core Floating Action Button control

<div id="target" style="min-height:200px; position:relative; width:300px; border:1px solid;">
    <ejs-fab id="fab" target="#target" content="Add"></ejs-fab>
</div>

Press Ctrl+F5 (Windows) or ⌘+F5 (macOS) to run the app. Then, the Syncfusion ASP.NET Core Floating Action Button control will be rendered in the default web browser.

CSHTML
@using Syncfusion.EJ2.Buttons

<ejs-fab id="fab" iconCss="e-icons e-edit" content="Edit" onclick="EventClick()"></ejs-fab>

<script>
    function EventClick(){
        alert("Edit is clicked!");
    }
</script>
