Getting Started
This section briefly explains about how to include a simple SplitButton in your ASP.NET MVC application. You can refer ASP.NET MVC Getting Started documentation page for introduction part of the system requirements and configure the common specifications.
Add SplitButton to the project
We are going to render SplitButton component in Index.cshtml page.
@Html.EJS().SplitButton("element").Content("Paste").Items((IEnumerable<object>)ViewBag.items).Render()ViewBag.items variable is used for bounding the items property in view page.
Bind dataSource
Populate the action items in SplitButton by using the items property. Here, the JSON values are passed to the
SplitButton component are generated in HomeController.cs and assigned to ViewBag variable.
public ActionResult Index()
{
// Define the array of JSON
List<object> items = new List<object>();
items.Add(new
{
text = "Cut"
});
items.Add(new
{
text = "Copy"
});
items.Add(new
{
text = "Paste"
});
ViewBag.items = items;
return View();
}Output be like the below.

The following example shows a basic SplitButton.
@Html.EJS().SplitButton("element").Content("Paste").Items((IEnumerable<object>)ViewBag.items).Render()public ActionResult Index()
{
// define the array of JSON
List<object> items = new List<object>();
items.Add(new
