Oqtane with Syncfusion on .net6 and 3.03

[DrtyByt]

Has anyone tried and/or been able to get Syncfusion to work with Oqtane in .net6 with 3.03?
I followed the blog that was on blazorhelpwebsite (great info source and guide). But I am having an issue. I can get the module to work, but it has no formatting. Looks like the css file isn't being used. I asked on the blazorhelpwebsite, but there was one response, but they don't have time to really look into it.
I'll try some other stuff to see if I can get it to work, but i'm pretty much grasping at straws at this point.

@DrtyByt check out https://github.com/ADefWebserver/Oqtane.SyncfusionHelpDesk from @ADefWebserver (Michael Washington)

Yeah, all those samples worked in previous versions of Oqtane. Unfortunately, I don't have the bandwidth to look at this.

@sbwalker - Any reason why these projects would no longer work?

@DrtyByt the error message says that Oqtane "Could not load file or assembly 'Radzen.Blazor, Version=2.18.8.0" - have you verified that the Radzen.Blazor.dll is in the Oqtane.Server\bin\Debug\net6.0 folder? @ADefWebserver as part of the migration from .NET 5 to .NET 6 the /bin folder location has changed from net5.0 to net6.0 - which is important if you are running Oqtane within Visual Studio.

@sbwalker - Thanks for that. I did update the Oqtane Module Creator tutorial to use that folder

@sbwalker - I update the Radzen and Syncfusion blogs posts too.

@DrtyByt this issue is resolved in #2045. You can also resolve it in the current version by registering your resources in your module using the Declaration = ResourceDeclaration.Global attribute:

    public class HostResources : IHostResources
    {
        public List<Resource> Resources => new List<Resource>()
        {
            new Resource {
                ResourceType = ResourceType.Stylesheet,
                Declaration = ResourceDeclaration.Global,
                Url = "_content/Radzen.Blazor/css/default.css" }
        };
    }

That being said, I do not believe that the IHostResources approach is the recommended way to register static resources - it was more of a temporary solution while a more robust solution was being developed for Oqtane. The problem with IHostResources is that it registers the assets globally ie. it includes the stylesheet and JavaScript references on every page for every site within your multi-tenant installation - which is generally not a good idea. Declaring the resources locally in a module is much better as it means they are lazy loaded as needed. An example of a local declaration is in your Index.razor file:

@code {
    public override SecurityAccessLevel SecurityAccessLevel => SecurityAccessLevel.Anonymous;

    public override List<Resource> Resources => new List<Resource>()
    {
        new Resource { ResourceType = ResourceType.Stylesheet, Url = "_content/Radzen.Blazor/css/default.css" }
    };

Thansk @sbwalker, I've been out of it for about a week as my kids brought home a nasty bug (not covid). Pretty much back to normal now. I'll try out the update to the razor pages themselves instead of doing the global declaration and see if that works, if not I'll swap over to the global declarataion. I'll let you know what I find. Thanks for putting in the fix as well!

[DrtyByt]

That worked perfectly. I've registered it into the Index.razor instead of IHost and no issues. Thanks @sbwalker

@DrtyByt are you still using syncfusion with oqtane? I've also tried to get the example working and cannot, two problems faced that seem insurmountable. I could do with some help and can pay if necessary.

[sbwalker]

@markagama the IHostResources interface was deprecated in Version 4.0. Please see this blog post: https://www.oqtane.org/blog/!/61/css-js-resources

[markagama]

thx, it appears that the example I followed is quite out of date. I'll make this change and see what happens.

[allschu]

This still works perfectly in version 5.2.1. :-)

Has anyone been able to get Syncfusion SfToast to work with Oqtane? It seems that SfToast content cannot be shown in oqtane module.I tested SfToast with oqtane 5.21,Syncfusion.Blazor is 26.1.35.
any help you provide is greatly appreciated.
