21 Dec 20222 minutes to read

This section briefly explains how to include ASP.NET Core Message control in your ASP.NET Core application using Visual Studio.

Prerequisites

System requirements for ASP.NET Core controls

Create ASP.NET Core web application with Razor pages

Install the ASP.NET Core package in the application

Syncfusion ASP.NET Core controls are in nuget.org.. Refer to the NuGet packages topic to learn more about installing NuGet packages in various OS environments. To add ASP.NET Core controls to the application, open the NuGet package manager in Visual Studio (Tools → NuGet Package Manager → Manage NuGet Packages for Solution) and search for Syncfusion.EJ2.AspNet.Core, then install it.

NOTE

The Syncfusion.EJ2.AspNet.Core NuGet package has dependencies, Newtonsoft.Json for JSON serialization and Syncfusion.Licensing for validating Syncfusion license key.

Add Syncfusion ASP.NET Core Tag Helper

Open the ~/Views/_ViewImports.cshtml file and import the Syncfusion.EJ2 TagHelper.

@addTagHelper *, Syncfusion.EJ2

Add style sheet

Check out the Themes topic to learn different ways (CDN, NPM package, and CRG) to refer styles in the 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 the ~/Pages/Shared/_Layout.cshtml file as follows.

<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

In this getting started walk-through, the required scripts are referred using CDN inside the <head> of the ~/Pages/Shared/_Layout.cshtml file as follows.

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

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

Add ASP.NET Core Message control

Now, add the Syncfusion ASP.NET Core Message tag helper in the ~/Pages/Index.cshtml page.

<ejs-message id="msg_default" content="Please read the comments carefully"></ejs-message>

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