Common Setup

These setup steps are required only once for your application, regardless of which Syncfusion components you use.

1. Install Base NuGet Package

Install-Package Syncfusion.AspNetMvc.Grid

2. Add Namespace Reference

Edit Web.config under the Views folder and add the Syncfusion.EJ2 namespace:

<namespaces>
    <add namespace="Syncfusion.EJ2"/>
</namespaces>

3. Add Stylesheet & Script References

In your layout file (~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml), add the following in the <head> section:

<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <title>@ViewBag.Title - Syncfusion Application</title>
    
    <!-- Syncfusion ASP.NET MVC controls styles -->
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/34.1.33/fluent2.css" />
    
    <!-- Syncfusion ASP.NET MVC controls scripts -->
    <script src="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/34.1.33/dist/ej2.min.js"></script>
</head>

4. Register Script Manager

At the end of the <body> tag in your layout file (~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml):

<body>
    @RenderBody()
    
    <!-- Syncfusion ASP.NET MVC Script Manager -->
    @Html.EJS().ScriptManager()
</body>

Quick Start

Step 1: Add Controller: ~/Controllers/HomeController.cs

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Web.Mvc;

public class HomeController : Controller
{
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        List<OrderData> orders = new List<OrderData>
        {
            new OrderData { OrderID = 10248, CustomerName = "VINET", ShippedDate = new DateTime(2023, 07, 04), Freight = 32.38 },
            new OrderData { OrderID = 10249, CustomerName = "TOMSP", ShippedDate = new DateTime(2023, 07, 05), Freight = 11.61 },
            new OrderData { OrderID = 10250, CustomerName = "HANAR", ShippedDate = new DateTime(2023, 07, 08), Freight = 65.83 },
            new OrderData { OrderID = 10251, CustomerName = "VICTE", ShippedDate = new DateTime(2023, 07, 08), Freight = 41.34 }
        };
        ViewBag.DataSource = orders;
        return View();
    }
}

public class OrderData
{
    public int OrderID { get; set; }
    public string CustomerName { get; set; }
    public DateTime ShippedDate { get; set; }
    public double Freight { get; set; }
}

Step 2: Add ASP.NET MVC DataGrid control

Add the Syncfusion® ASP.NET MVC DataGrid control ~/Views/Home/Index.cshtml page:

@Html.EJS().Grid("Grid")
    .DataSource((IEnumerable<object>)ViewBag.DataSource)
    .AllowPaging(true)
    .AllowSorting(true)
    .AllowFiltering(true)
    .Columns(col =>
    {
        col.Field("OrderID").HeaderText("Order ID").Width("120").Add();
        col.Field("CustomerName").HeaderText("Customer Name").Width("150").Add();
        col.Field("ShippedDate").HeaderText("Shipped Date").Width("130").Format("yMd").Add();
        col.Field("Freight").HeaderText("Freight").Width("120").Format("C2").Add();
    })
    .Render()
