  • Basic Form Layout - Uses a DevExpress Blazor Form Layout and arranges DevExpress Blazor Data Editors in a form, with built-in data validation.

Blazor AI Chat

• Vendor-Agnostic AI Chat
  • To improve the overall user experience and align AI Chat with common DevExpress Blazor patterns, DevExpress introduced a set of breaking changes in v26.1. These changes standardize the AI Chat API surface, add integration with agent-based and vendor-agnostic models, and minimize configuration conflicts across components, models, and usage scenarios:
    • DevExpress AI Chat now uses IChatResponseProvider instead of IChatClient.
    • OpenAI Assistant-related APIs have been deprecated/replaced.
    • Inference parameters are now obsolete.
    • MessageSent event is now obsolete.
    • SendMessage method is now obsolete.
    • BlazorChatMessage.Content is now obsolete.
• Message Flow Enhancements
  • DevExpress Blazor AI Chat now includes a more flexible MessageSending event model. New APIs give you precise control over long-running operations and custom message workflows. Use them to preprocess user input, call external services, or append an additional response to the chat:
    • Call AppendMessageAsync to add messages to the chat history without sending them to the AI service (for instance, append system prompts, assistant messages, or supplemental context).
    • Use the SendMessageAsync method to submit user messages to the chat service.
    • Call ShowLoadingIndicatorAsync and HideLoadingIndicatorAsync methods to display the built-in loading indicator during time-consuming operations.
• AIContent API
  • DevExpress Blazor AI Chat exposes individual AIContent items streamed between your application and AI services. You can render rich content using custom templates, submit structured AI requests programmatically, and hide specific messages.
• Improved AI Chat Typing Experience
  • DevExpress Blazor AI Chat allows you to control when input text is synchronized with the chat message buffer. You can update the buffer on every keystroke, when the input box loses focus, or after the user stops typing for a specified interval. Choose the option that best balances responsiveness and processing load for your specific usage scenario. In Interactive WebAssembly and Auto render modes, delayed updates reduce unnecessary state changes when typing and improve chat responsiveness on slower devices or resource-intensive pages.
• Empty Chat Customization
  • DevExpress Blazor AI Chat allows you to customize text displayed before a conversation starts:
    • EmptyMessageAreaText specifies text displayed in the empty message area.
    • InputBoxNullText specifies prompt text in the chat input box when it is empty.

New Blazor Smart Paste

• The DevExpress Blazor Form Layout component now supports Smart Paste - a new AI-powered extension that simplifies copying content from external sources. The extension parses unstructured text (such as email content or free-form notes) and automatically populates form fields with relevant data.

Blazor Pivot Table

• Server Mode Data Sources
  • The DevExpress Blazor Pivot Table v26.1 now supports Server Mode data sources for Blazor Server-based applications. These data sources were designed to simplify integration with large data collections (500,000+records) and maximize performance for these usage scenarios.
  • Server Mode data sources handle data calculations at the database level. This reduces the amount of transferred data, decreases memory consumption, and improves component responsiveness.

Blazor Grid & TreeList

• Border and Gridline Visibility
  • You can now hide column lines (separators between adjacent columns/rows) and component borders when using the DevExpress Blazor Grid and/or TreeList UI components (using the GridlinesVisible property). You can combine available enumeration values as design needs dictate.
• Filter Menu Button - New On-Hover Display Mode
  • DevExpress Blazor Grid and TreeList support on-hover display mode for Filter Menu buttons. When enabled, buttons appear after users hover over column headers. This mode helps produce a more effective user experience and avoid column caption truncation.
• Empty Column Appearance
  • Refined empty column appearance (may appear during resize operations) to better align with standard Blazor Grid/TreeList columns.
• Pager Summary
  • DevExpress Blazor Grid and TreeList UI components include a new PagerSummaryVisible option. Use it to display the current page number, page count, and data row count within the built-in pager.

Blazor TreeList

• Unbound Columns
  • The DevExpress Blazor TreeList component now supports unbound columns. These columns display values that are not stored in the underlying data source. Use unbound columns to display supplementary/computed data without modifying the original data model.

Blazor Data Editors

• Focusable Buttons
  • Blazor Data Editors include a new Focusable option for command buttons. Once activated, buttons are included in a page's tab sequence, and users can interact with them using the keyboard.
• Keyboard and Mouse Wheel Interaction Options
  • Added new options to control whether users can change editor values using arrow keys and the mouse wheel: AllowUpDownArrowKeys and AllowMouseWheel.

  • The DevExpress Blazor Ribbon Tab now supports standard HTML attributes. Use the Attributes property for the tab header and ContentAttributes for the tab content area.
• Data Mapping API Enhancements
  • DevExpress Blazor TreeView, Accordion, and Toolbar data mapping APIs now expose additional properties for node and item settings.
• Accordion - Lazy Loading and Pre-Rendering
  • The RenderMode property defines when DevExpress Blazor Accordion renders content. Use Expanded to render Accordion item content only when the item is expanded and remove it from the DOM when the item is collapsed. This mode increases page load speed and reduces DOM size at the cost of a small rendering delay. Use All to render all Accordion items on page load. This mode improves UI responsiveness, but increases page load time and DOM size. Use OnDemand to render Accordion item content when the item is expanded for the first time and keep it in the DOM after the item is collapsed. This mode balances page load performance, responsiveness, and resource consumption.
• Accordion
  • To improve readability and contrast on colored and image backgrounds, DevExpress enhanced the appearance of the Blazor Accordion.
• Ribbon
  • The Blazor Ribbon now more closely aligns with the Microsoft Office Ribbon design.
• TreeView
  • Updated the design of the Blazor TreeView component.

You can configure resource limits globally or for individual operations. The SecureZipPolicy.TrustBoundaryViolation event allows you to log, monitor, and audit TrustBoundary violations.
• FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) Compliance Enforcement
  • The DevExpress API now detects operating system-level FIPS enforcement and raises an OperatingSystemLevelFipsMode.ComplianceViolationException before document processing begins. The exception includes violation details, resolution recommendations, and is raised early in the workflow to prevent non-compliant cryptographic operations.

Safer Document (DOCx, XLSx...) Processing

• Security Loading Limits
  • Use Options.SecurityLoadingLimits to configure document limits. The SecurityLoadingLimitExceeded event fires when a document exceeds a limit. In the event handler, set e.Handled = true to continue loading operation despite violations (useful for log-only scenarios or staged rollouts).
• Dangerous Content Removal
  • You can automatically remove dangerous content when loading documents using Options.SecurityLoadingOptions. Each option targets a specific threat category and fires a SecurityLoadingOptionsViolation event when matching content is detected. Set e.Handled = false in the event handler to remove detected content.
• Privacy Sanitization
  • v26.1 includes RichEditDocumentServer.Sanitize(WordProcessingSanitizeOptions) for the Word Processing Document API and Workbook.Sanitize(WorkbookSanitizeOptions) for the Spreadsheet API. Call these methods to strip personal data and internal organizational information from documents before you share, publish, or archive documents/files.
• Inspect Document Content Before Sanitization
  • Before sanitization, inspect a document/workbook to identify content types. The new RichEditDocumentServer.Inspect(WordProcessingInspectOptions) and Workbook.Inspect(WorkbookInspectOptions) methods scan a loaded file and return the detected set.

New PDF Processing API

• Form - Rendering Logic Improved
  • v26.1 ships with improved DevExtreme Form rendering logic. The component is no longer re-rendered once Form size changes and items are repositioned (the number of Form columns changes). Editor states, values, and validation statuses now persist across Form layout changes.
• List - Item Text Selection
  • The List component now supports item text selection when swipe actions are disabled (no onItemSwipe handler is defined). Users can easily copy information (such as contact details, notes, or product names) using standard text selection actions.
• Splitter - Enhanced Pane Sizing Logic
  • The DevExtreme Splitter now preserves configured pane sizes and min/max size constraints across layout changes (when panes are displayed, hidden, or resized). This enhancement improves layout predictability and consistency.
• ODataStore/ODataContext - Updated Date Processing Behavior
  • ODataStore and ODataContext data requests now store time zone information from date fields. This ensures that components bound to OData services handle time zone-aware values accurately out of the box, both on the client and in requests to the server.

Accessibility
