FileManager Views
The FileManager provides two inbuilt views for content visualization - Grid and List View.
To switch between the views, use the Toolbar button group.
Grid View
The Grid view is achieved with the Blazor Grid component, and it renders the files in a tabular manner (see example).
List View (Thumbnails)
The List view is achieved with the help of the Blazor ListView component. The content in this view is rendered as a list of thumbnails, representing the files (see example).
Example
FileManager change views using the Toolbar buttons.
@using System.IO
<TelerikFileManager Data="@Data"
@bind-Path="@DirectoryPath"

@code {
public List<FlatFileEntry> Data = new List<FlatFileEntry>();
public string DirectoryPath { get; set; } = string.Empty;
// fetch the FileManager data
protected override async Task OnInitializedAsync()
{
Data = await GetFlatFileEntries();
}
// a model to bind the FileManager. Should usually be in its own separate location.
