Quick Start Example
Here's a minimal range selector for time-series data filtering with event handling:
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts
@{
DateTime[] range = SelectedRange as DateTime[] ?? new DateTime[] { DateTime.Now, DateTime.Now };
}
<h3>Stock Price Range Selector</h3>
<p>Selected Range: @range[0].ToShortDateString() to @range[1].ToShortDateString()</p>
<SfRangeNavigator @bind-Value="@SelectedRange"
ValueType="RangeValueType.DateTime"
LabelFormat="MMM-yy"
IntervalType="RangeIntervalType.Months">
<RangeNavigatorEvents Changed="OnRangeChanged"></RangeNavigatorEvents>
<RangeNavigatorRangeTooltipSettings Enable="true"></RangeNavigatorRangeTooltipSettings>
<RangeNavigatorSeriesCollection>
<RangeNavigatorSeries DataSource="@StockData"
XName="Date"
YName="Close"
Type="RangeNavigatorType.Area"
Fill="#3F51B5">
</RangeNavigatorSeries>
</RangeNavigatorSeriesCollection>
</SfRangeNavigator>
@code {
public class StockInfo
{
public DateTime Date { get; set; }
public double Close { get; set; }
}
public object SelectedRange = new DateTime[]
{
new DateTime(2020, 01, 01),
new DateTime(2021, 01, 01)
};
public List<StockInfo> StockData = new List<StockInfo>
{
new StockInfo { Date = new DateTime(2018, 01, 01), Close = 35 },
new StockInfo { Date = new DateTime(2019, 01, 01), Close = 42 },
new StockInfo { Date = new DateTime(2020, 01, 01), Close = 48 },
new StockInfo { Date = new DateTime(2021, 01, 01), Close = 56 },
new StockInfo { Date = new DateTime(2022, 01, 01), Close = 62 }
};
private void OnRangeChanged(ChangedEventArgs args)
{
// Handle range change event
Console.WriteLine($"Range changed: {args.Start} to {args.End}");
}
}What this creates:
- Area chart showing stock price trend with blue fill (#3F51B5)
- Draggable thumbs for range selection
- Initially selected range: Jan 2020 to Jan 2021
- Month labels with "MMM-yy" format
- Tooltip showing values on hover
- Event handler responding to range changes
- Two-way binding with @bind-Value directive
Common Use Cases

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts
<SfRangeNavigator @bind-Value="@SelectedRange"
ValueType="RangeValueType.DateTime"
IntervalType="RangeIntervalType.Months"
LabelFormat="MMM yy">
<RangeNavigatorRangeTooltipSettings Enable="true" DisplayMode="TooltipDisplayMode.Always">
</RangeNavigatorRangeTooltipSettings>
<RangeNavigatorPeriodSelectorSettings>
<RangeNavigatorPeriods>
<RangeNavigatorPeriod Text="1M" Interval="1" IntervalType="RangeIntervalType.Months"></RangeNavigatorPeriod>

<RangeNavigatorPeriod Text="YTD"></RangeNavigatorPeriod>
<RangeNavigatorPeriod Text="1Y" Interval="1" IntervalType="RangeIntervalType.Years"></RangeNavigatorPeriod>
<RangeNavigatorPeriod Text="All"></RangeNavigatorPeriod>
</RangeNavigatorPeriods>
</RangeNavigatorPeriodSelectorSettings>
<RangeNavigatorSeriesCollection>
<RangeNavigatorSeries DataSource="@StockData" XName="Date" YName="Close" Type="RangeNavigatorType.Area">
</RangeNavigatorSeries>
</RangeNavigatorSeriesCollection>
</SfRangeNavigator>
@{
DateTime[] range = SelectedRange as DateTime[] ?? new DateTime[] { DateTime.Now, DateTime.Now };
}
<p>Selected Range: @range[0].ToShortDateString() to @range[1].ToShortDateString()</p>
@code {
public object SelectedRange = new DateTime[]
{
new DateTime(2022, 01, 01),
new DateTime(2023, 01, 01)
};
public List<StockInfo> StockData = GetStockData();
private static List<StockInfo> GetStockData()
{
// Sample data generation
var data = new List<StockInfo>();
var startDate = new DateTime(2020, 01, 01);
var random = new Random();
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
{
data.Add(new StockInfo
{
Date = startDate.AddDays(i * 10),
Close = 100 + random.Next(-20, 20)
});
}
return data;
}
public class StockInfo
{
public DateTime Date { get; set; }
public double Close { get; set; }
}
}2. Dashboard with Range-Based Filtering
Synchronize chart data with range selector:
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts
<div class="dashboard-container">
<h3>Sales Dashboard</h3>
<SfRangeNavigator Value="@SelectedRange"
ValueType="RangeValueType.DateTime"
Height="140px">
<RangeNavigatorEvents Changed="OnRangeChanged" />
<RangeNavigatorSeriesCollection>
<RangeNavigatorSeries DataSource="@SalesDetails"
XName="Date"
YName="Revenue"
Type="RangeNavigatorType.Area" />
</RangeNavigatorSeriesCollection>
</SfRangeNavigator>
<SfChart Height="300px">
<ChartPrimaryXAxis ValueType="Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts.ValueType.DateTime"
Minimum="@SelectedRange[0]"
Maximum="@SelectedRange[1]" />
<ChartSeriesCollection>
<ChartSeries DataSource="@FilteredData"
XName="Date"
YName="Revenue"
Type="ChartSeriesType.Column" />
</ChartSeriesCollection>
</SfChart>
</div>
@code {
public DateTime[] SelectedRange =
{
new DateTime(2023, 01, 01),
new DateTime(2023, 06, 30)
};
public List<SalesData> SalesDetails = new();
public List<SalesData> FilteredData = new();
protected override void OnInitialized()
{
SalesDetails = GetSalesData();
ApplyFilter();
}
private void OnRangeChanged(ChangedEventArgs args)
{
if (args.Start is DateTime start && args.End is DateTime end)
{
SelectedRange = new[] { start, end };
ApplyFilter();
}
}
private void ApplyFilter()
{
FilteredData = SalesDetails
.Where(d => d.Date >= SelectedRange[0] && d.Date <= SelectedRange[1])
.ToList();
}
private List<SalesData> GetSalesData()
{
var data = new List<SalesData>();
var random = new Random();
var start = new DateTime(2023, 01, 01);
decimal revenue = 15000;
for (int i = 0; i < 180; i++)
{
revenue += random.Next(-1500, 2000);
data.Add(new SalesData
{
Date = start.AddDays(i),
Revenue = Math.Max(revenue, 5000)
});
}
return data;
}
public class SalesData
{
public DateTime Date { get; set; }
public decimal Revenue { get; set; }
}
}3. Lightweight Mode for Performance
Optimize for large datasets:
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts
<SfRangeNavigator Value="@SelectedRange"
ValueType="RangeValueType.DateTime"
EnableGrouping="true"
GroupBy="RangeIntervalType.Months"
AllowSnapping="true">
<RangeNavigatorRangeTooltipSettings Enable="true"></RangeNavigatorRangeTooltipSettings>
<RangeNavigatorSeriesCollection>
<RangeNavigatorSeries DataSource="@LargeDataset"
XName="Timestamp"
YName="Value"
Type="RangeNavigatorType.Line">
</RangeNavigatorSeries>
</RangeNavigatorSeriesCollection>
</SfRangeNavigator>
@code {
public DateTime[] SelectedRange;
public List<DataPoint> LargeDataset = GenerateLargeDataset(10000);
public class DataPoint
{
public DateTime Timestamp { get; set; }
public double Value { get; set; }
}
private static List<DataPoint> GenerateLargeDataset(int count)
{
// Generate large dataset efficiently
return Enumerable.Range(0, count)
.Select(i => new DataPoint
{
Timestamp = DateTime.Now.AddHours(-count + i),
Value = Math.Sin(i * 0.1) * 100
})
.ToList();
}

1. Start with [Getting Started](references/getting-started.md) for installation and basic setup 2. Configure range values from Range Configuration for selection behavior 3. Choose series type using Series Types for visualization 4. Set up data binding from Data Binding for your data structure — when using remote data prefer trusted/internal APIs or mocked data; see Data Binding - Security Considerations 5. Add period selector (optional) with Period Selector Integration 6. Customize axis with Axis Customization for proper labeling 7. Apply visual styling from Visual Customization 8. Add export and events using Export, Events, and Accessibility 9. Review [API Reference](references/api-reference.md) for complete API documentation with all classes, properties, and enums

- Check Changed event handler
Period buttons not showing?
- Enable:
<RangeNavigatorPeriodSelectorSettings Enabled="true"> - Add period definitions inside
<RangeNavigatorPeriods>
Data not displaying?
- Verify DataSource is set
- Check XName and YName map to data fields
- Ensure data is in chronological order
Export not working?
- Use
@refto reference component - Call
ExportAsync()method - Specify filename parameter

Best Practices
Property Binding
- Use
@bind-Valuefor two-way binding with range changes - Use
Value="@variable"for one-way binding
Data Binding
- Set
DataSourceto your data collection - Use
XNameandYNameto map data fields - Ensure data is in chronological order for DateTime values
Performance
- Use
EnableGrouping="true"for large datasets - Set appropriate
IntervalTypeto reduce label clutter - Consider
AllowSnapping="true"to improve interaction
Events
- Handle
Changedevent to sync with other components - Use
Loadedevent for post-initialization logic - Use
TooltipRenderto customize tooltip content dynamically

Y = 50 + Math.Sin(i * 0.2) * 30
});
}
}
public class NumericPoint
{
public double X { get; set; }
public double Y { get; set; }
}
}Custom Label Format
Implement custom label formatting using RangeNavigatorEvents with LabelRender event handler to modify label text dynamically:
@page "/range-selector/custom-labels"
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts
<h3>Custom Label Formatting</h3>
<SfRangeNavigator @bind-Value="@Range"
ValueType="RangeValueType.DateTime"
Width="100%"
Height="350"
Interval="1"
IntervalType="RangeIntervalType.Quarter">
<RangeNavigatorEvents LabelRender="OnLabelRender"></RangeNavigatorEvents>
<RangeNavigatorLabelStyle Color="#333333"
Size="12px">
</RangeNavigatorLabelStyle>
<RangeNavigatorSeriesCollection>
<RangeNavigatorSeries DataSource="@StockData"

YName="Close">
</RangeNavigatorSeries>
</RangeNavigatorSeriesCollection>
</SfRangeNavigator>
@code {
public object Range = new DateTime[]
{
new DateTime(2023, 01, 01),
new DateTime(2023, 12, 31)
};
public List<StockInfo> StockData { get; set; }
protected override void OnInitialized()
{
StockData = GenerateStockData(new DateTime(2023, 01, 01), 365);
}
private void OnLabelRender(RangeLabelRenderEventArgs args)
{
args.Text = $"{args.Text} : {args.Value}";
}
private List<StockInfo> GenerateStockData(DateTime start, int days)
{
var data = new List<StockInfo>();
var random = new Random();
double price = 100;
for (int i = 0; i < days; i++)
{
price += (random.NextDouble() - 0.5) * 5;
data.Add(new StockInfo
{
Date = start.AddDays(i),
Close = Math.Round(price, 2)
});
}
return data;
}
public class StockInfo
{
public DateTime Date { get; set; }
public double Close { get; set; }
}
}Interval Configuration
Control axis intervals using Interval and IntervalType properties to define label spacing and frequency.
Auto Intervals
Let the component automatically calculate intervals when Interval and IntervalType properties are not explicitly set:
@page "/range-selector/auto-intervals"
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts
<h3>Automatic Interval Calculation</h3>
<SfRangeNavigator @bind-Value="@Range"
ValueType="RangeValueType.DateTime"
Width="100%"
Height="350">
<!-- No interval specified - automatically calculated -->
<RangeNavigatorSeriesCollection>
<RangeNavigatorSeries DataSource="@StockData"
XName="Date"
YName="Close">
</RangeNavigatorSeries>
</RangeNavigatorSeriesCollection>
</SfRangeNavigator>
@code {
public object Range = new DateTime[]
{
new DateTime(2023, 01, 01),
new DateTime(2023, 12, 31)
};
public List<StockInfo> StockData { get; set; }
protected override void OnInitialized()
{
StockData = GenerateStockData(new DateTime(2023, 01, 01), 365);
}
private List<StockInfo> GenerateStockData(DateTime start, int days)
{
var data = new List<StockInfo>();
var random = new Random();
double price = 100;
for (int i = 0; i < days; i++)
{
price += (random.NextDouble() - 0.5) * 5;
data.Add(new StockInfo
{
Date = start.AddDays(i),
Close = Math.Round(price, 2)
});
}
return data;
}
public class StockInfo
{
public DateTime Date { get; set; }
public double Close { get; set; }
}
}Manual Intervals
Set specific intervals using Interval (numeric value) and IntervalType (RangeIntervalType enum) properties:
@page "/range-selector/manual-intervals"
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts
<h3>Manual Interval Configuration</h3>

<h4>Axis Configuration Best Practices</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Label Clarity:</strong> Use readable fonts (12-14px) and appropriate contrast</li>
<li><strong>Grid Lines:</strong> Keep subtle (rgba with low opacity) to avoid visual clutter</li>
<li><strong>Intervals:</strong> Choose intervals that match your data granularity</li>
<li><strong>Tick Marks:</strong> Use consistent sizing (7-10px height) for visual hierarchy</li>
<li><strong>Format Strings:</strong> Match format to your audience (MMM yyyy vs MM/yyyy)</li>
<li><strong>Performance:</strong> Avoid excessive grid lines/ticks for large datasets</li>

Common Issues and Solutions
Issue: Labels overlapping
- Solution: Increase interval value or reduce label font size
- Consider label rotation for dense data
- Use abbreviated formats (MMM vs MMMM)
Issue: Grid lines not visible
- Solution: Increase grid line width or adjust color
- Check that grid line color has sufficient contrast
- Ensure Width property is set > 0
Issue: Logarithmic axis shows incorrect values
- Solution: Verify LogBase is appropriate for your data
- Ensure data contains only positive values
- Check that ValueType is set to
Logarithmic
Issue: Custom label formatting not applied
- Solution: Verify LabelRender event is properly bound
- Check that event handler returns modified text
- Ensure args.Text is being correctly parsed
Issue: RTL not working
- Solution: Set EnableRtl="true" on SfRangeNavigator
- Verify parent elements don't override direction
- Check browser RTL support

Overview
The Range Selector can bind to various data sources through the DataSource property of RangeNavigatorSeries. Data binding supports:
- Local Data: List, Array, ExpandoObject
- Remote Data: Web API, OData services via SfDataManager
- Data Types: DateTime, Numeric, Logarithmic
- Dynamic Updates: Real-time data refresh
Local Data Sources
List Collection
The most common approach is binding to a List<T> collection:
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts
<SfRangeNavigator @bind-Value="@Range"
ValueType="RangeValueType.DateTime">
<RangeNavigatorSeriesCollection>
<RangeNavigatorSeries DataSource="@StockData"
XName="Date"
YName="Close"
Type="RangeNavigatorType.Area">
</RangeNavigatorSeries>
</RangeNavigatorSeriesCollection>
</SfRangeNavigator>
@code {
public class StockInfo
{
public DateTime Date { get; set; }
public double Close { get; set; }
public double Volume { get; set; }
}
public object Range = new DateTime[]
{
new DateTime(2023, 01, 01),
new DateTime(2023, 12, 31)
};
public List<StockInfo> StockData = new List<StockInfo>
{
new StockInfo { Date = new DateTime(2023, 01, 01), Close = 100, Volume = 1000000 },
new StockInfo { Date = new DateTime(2023, 02, 01), Close = 105, Volume = 1200000 },
new StockInfo { Date = new DateTime(2023, 03, 01), Close = 102, Volume = 1100000 },
new StockInfo { Date = new DateTime(2023, 04, 01), Close = 108, Volume = 1300000 },
new StockInfo { Date = new DateTime(2023, 05, 01), Close = 112, Volume = 1400000 },
new StockInfo { Date = new DateTime(2023, 06, 01), Close = 115, Volume = 1500000 }
};
}Array Data
Bind to arrays for simple data structures:
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts
<SfRangeNavigator @bind-Value="@Range"
ValueType="RangeValueType.Double">
<RangeNavigatorSeriesCollection>
<RangeNavigatorSeries DataSource="@TemperatureData"
XName="Day"
YName="Temp">
</RangeNavigatorSeries>
</RangeNavigatorSeriesCollection>
</SfRangeNavigator>
@code {
public class TemperatureReading
{
public int Day { get; set; }
public double Temp { get; set; }
}
public object Range = new double[] { 1, 30 };
public TemperatureReading[] TemperatureData = new TemperatureReading[]
{
new TemperatureReading { Day = 1, Temp = 72 },
new TemperatureReading { Day = 5, Temp = 75 },
new TemperatureReading { Day = 10, Temp = 78 },
new TemperatureReading { Day = 15, Temp = 82 },
new TemperatureReading { Day = 20, Temp = 80 },
new TemperatureReading { Day = 25, Temp = 77 },
new TemperatureReading { Day = 30, Temp = 73 }
};
}ExpandoObject
Use ExpandoObject for dynamic property names:
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts
@using System.Dynamic
<SfRangeNavigator @bind-Value="@Range"
ValueType="RangeValueType.DateTime">
<RangeNavigatorSeriesCollection>
<RangeNavigatorSeries DataSource="@DynamicData"
XName="timestamp"
YName="value">
</RangeNavigatorSeries>
</RangeNavigatorSeriesCollection>
</SfRangeNavigator>
@code {
public object Range;
public List<ExpandoObject> DynamicData = new List<ExpandoObject>();
protected override void OnInitialized()
{
// Create dynamic data
for (int i = 0; i < 12; i++)
{
dynamic dataPoint = new ExpandoObject();
dataPoint.timestamp = new DateTime(2023, i + 1, 1);
dataPoint.value = 100 + (i * 5);
dataPoint.category = $"Month {i + 1}";
DynamicData.Add(dataPoint);
}
Range = new DateTime[]
{
new DateTime(2023, 01, 01),
new DateTime(2023, 12, 31)
};
}
}Remote Data Binding
Using SfDataManager
Bind to remote data sources using SfDataManager. IMPORTANT: avoid pointing examples directly at public third-party services in shipped or interactive samples. Treat all remote data as untrusted and use a trusted, authenticated backend or a local/mock dataset during development. See the "Security Considerations" section below for mitigation strategies.
Example using a placeholder (replace with your internal API or a validated proxy):
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Data
<!-- Use a trusted API or proxy that validates and sanitizes returned data -->
<SfRangeNavigator @bind-Value="@Range"
ValueType="RangeValueType.DateTime">
<RangeNavigatorSeriesCollection>
<RangeNavigatorSeries XName="OrderDate"
YName="Freight"
Type="RangeNavigatorType.Area">
<SfDataManager Url="/api/proxy/orders"
Adaptor="Adaptors.ODataV4Adaptor">
</SfDataManager>
</RangeNavigatorSeries>
</RangeNavigatorSeriesCollection>
</SfRangeNavigator>
@code {
// Use a safe, internal endpoint or a mocked dataset during development.
// The endpoint should enforce authentication, return only required fields,
// and validate query parameters to prevent abuse.
public DateTime[] Range = new DateTime[]
{
new DateTime(1996, 01, 01),
new DateTime(1998, 12, 31)
};
}Web API Integration
Fetch data from your own Web API:
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts
@inject HttpClient Http
<SfRangeNavigator @bind-Value="@Range"
ValueType="RangeValueType.DateTime">
<RangeNavigatorSeriesCollection>
<RangeNavigatorSeries DataSource="@SalesData"
XName="Date"
YName="Amount">
</RangeNavigatorSeries>
</RangeNavigatorSeriesCollection>
</SfRangeNavigator>
@if (isLoading)

}Observable Collections

@using System.Collections.ObjectModel

<button @onclick="RemoveDataPoint">Remove Last Point</button>
<SfRangeNavigator @bind-Value="@Range"

</RangeNavigatorSeriesCollection>
</SfRangeNavigator>
<p>Data Points: @ObservableData.Count</p>
@code {

public double Y { get; set; }
}
public object Range = new double[] { 0, 10 };
public ObservableCollection<DataPoint> ObservableData = new ObservableCollection<DataPoint>
{
new DataPoint { X = 0, Y = 10 },
new DataPoint { X = 2, Y = 15 },
new DataPoint { X = 4, Y = 12 },
new DataPoint { X = 6, Y = 18 },
new DataPoint { X = 8, Y = 20 },
new DataPoint { X = 10, Y = 17 }
};
private Random random = new Random();
private void AddDataPoint()
{
var lastX = ObservableData.Any() ? ObservableData.Max(d => d.X) : 0;
ObservableData.Add(new DataPoint
{
X = lastX + 2,
Y = 10 + random.Next(0, 20)
});
// Update range
Range = new double[] { 0, lastX + 2 };
}
private void RemoveDataPoint()
{
if (ObservableData.Any())
{
ObservableData.RemoveAt(ObservableData.Count - 1);
}
}
}Data Transformation
Aggregating Data
Transform detailed data into aggregated form:
@code {
public class DailyData
{
public DateTime Date { get; set; }
public decimal Amount { get; set; }
}
public class MonthlyData
{
public DateTime Month { get; set; }
public decimal TotalAmount { get; set; }
}
private List<MonthlyData> AggregateToMonthly(List<DailyData> dailyData)
{
return dailyData
.GroupBy(d => new DateTime(d.Date.Year, d.Date.Month, 1))
.Select(g => new MonthlyData
{
Month = g.Key,
TotalAmount = g.Sum(d => d.Amount)
})
.OrderBy(m => m.Month)
.ToList();
}
}Filtering Data
Pre-filter data before binding:
@code {
private List<StockInfo> GetFilteredData(string symbol, DateTime startDate, DateTime endDate)
{
return AllStockData
.Where(s => s.Symbol == symbol)
.Where(s => s.Date >= startDate && s.Date <= endDate)
.OrderBy(s => s.Date)
.ToList();
}
}Sorting Data
Always ensure data is sorted by X-axis values:
@code {
protected override void OnInitialized()
{
// Sort data by date
StockData = UnsortedData
.OrderBy(d => d.Date)
.ToList();
}
}Security Considerations
When binding to remote data, treat all external content as untrusted. Follow these mitigations to reduce risk when your skill or examples access remote sources:
- Prefer trusted/internal APIs or mocks: Do not point shipped examples or interactive demos at arbitrary public endpoints. Use internal, authenticated APIs or local/mock data for samples.
- Server-side validation & proxy: Query third-party sources from a backend you control. Validate request parameters, filter and transform results to only the fields required, and reject unexpected payloads.
- Whitelist domains and fields: Only allow requests to known domains and only surface necessary properties to the UI.
- Avoid dynamic deserialization: Prefer strongly-typed DTOs; avoid deserializing into
dynamic/ExpandoObjectwhen data origin is untrusted. - Validate schema and types: Enforce JSON schema validation or manual checks (dates, numeric ranges, string lengths) before binding to the chart.
- Sanitize content: Never render untrusted HTML or script coming from remote data into the page or templates.
- Timeouts, rate limits, and auth: Use timeouts, enforce rate limits, and require authentication/authorization on proxy endpoints.
- Logging & monitoring: Log failed validations and unusual payloads; monitor for suspicious activity.
- Fail-safe UI: If validation fails, show an error or fallback to mocked/sample data rather than binding raw external data.
Example server-side pattern (ASP.NET Core minimal proxy):
[HttpGet("/api/proxy/orders")]
public async Task<IActionResult> GetOrders()
{
// Validate and sanitize incoming query parameters here
var client = _httpClientFactory.CreateClient("trusted-data-source");
var resp = await client.GetAsync("/odata/Orders?$select=OrderDate,Freight");
if (!resp.IsSuccessStatusCode) return StatusCode((int)resp.StatusCode);
var payload = await resp.Content.ReadFromJsonAsync<List<OrderDto>>();
// Additional validation on payload (date ranges, sizes)
return Ok(payload);
}After this proxy, point your SfDataManager at /api/proxy/orders so your frontend only receives validated, minimal data.
Best Practices
1. Sort Data
Always sort data by X-axis values in ascending order:
StockData = StockData.OrderBy(s => s.Date).ToList();2. Handle Null Data
Check for null or empty data:
@if (Data != null && Data.Any())
{
<SfRangeNavigator @bind-Value="@Range" ValueType="RangeValueType.DateTime">
<RangeNavigatorSeriesCollection>
<RangeNavigatorSeries DataSource="@Data" XName="Date" YName="Value">
</RangeNavigatorSeries>
</RangeNavigatorSeriesCollection>
</SfRangeNavigator>
}
else
{
<p>No data available.</p>
}3. Match Property Names
Ensure XName and YName match your data properties exactly:
public class SalesData
{
public DateTime OrderDate { get; set; } // Use "OrderDate" in XName
public decimal Revenue { get; set; } // Use "Revenue" in YName
}<RangeNavigatorSeries DataSource="@Sales"
XName="OrderDate" <!-- Match property name -->
YName="Revenue"> <!-- Match property name -->4. Use Appropriate Value Types
Match ValueType to your data:
<!-- DateTime data -->
<SfRangeNavigator ValueType="RangeValueType.DateTime">
<!-- Numeric data -->
<SfRangeNavigator ValueType="RangeValueType.Double">5. Handle Large Datasets
For large datasets, consider data virtualization or grouping:
<SfRangeNavigator EnableGrouping="true"
GroupBy="RangeIntervalType.Months">Complete Example

@page "/data-binding-demo"
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Charts
