A Comprehensive Blazor Rendering Modes Cheat Sheet: Enhancing Your Development Efficiency


Blazor is a framework for building interactive web UIs using C#. It allows developers to create single-page applications (SPAs) with C# instead of Javascript. Blazor offers different rendering modes that determine where and how the UI components are processed:

  • Static: Renders components on the server during build time, resulting in fully pre-rendered HTML. Ideal for simple, non-interactive pages for fast initial load.
  • Interactive Server (Blazor Server): Renders components on the server in response to user interactions. Updates are sent to the client through a WebSocket connection. Good for complex, dynamic UIs with a server-centric architecture.
  • Interactive WebAssembly (Blazor WebAssembly): Renders components on the client-side using WebAssembly. Offers a more responsive experience but requires downloading the WebAssembly runtime first.

Additionally, with .NET 8, Blazor introduces an Auto mode that leverages both server and client rendering. It starts with interactive server-side rendering for the initial load and then switches to client-side WebAssembly for subsequent interactions. This provides a balance between initial load time and interactivity.

Exploring Blazor Rendering Modes

1. Static:

  • Where: Renders components on the server during build time.
  • Benefits:
    • Fastest initial load time as the HTML is pre-rendered.
    • Ideal for simple, non-interactive content like landing pages or blog posts.
  • Drawbacks:
    • Limited interactivity.
    • Updates require a full page refresh.

2. Interactive Server (Blazor Server):

  • Where: Renders components on the server in response to user interactions. Updates are sent to the client through a WebSocket connection.
  • Benefits:
    • Good for complex, dynamic UIs with a server-centric architecture.
    • Easier development as logic resides on the server (C# code).
  • Drawbacks:
    • Can have slightly slower responsiveness compared to client-side rendering due to round trips to the server.
    • Relies on a stable server connection.

3. Interactive WebAssembly (Blazor WebAssembly):

  • Where: Renders components on the client-side using WebAssembly, a compiled version of .NET code that runs in the browser.
  • Benefits:
    • Highly responsive user experience due to client-side processing.
    • Works offline after initial download.
  • Drawbacks:
    • Slower initial load time due to downloading and compiling the WebAssembly bundle.
    • Development can be more complex as some functionalities require additional considerations for client-side execution.

4. Interactive Auto (Introduced in .NET 8):

  • Where: Leverages both server and client rendering for an optimal experience.
  • Benefits:
    • Provides a balance between initial load time and interactivity.
    • Starts with interactive server-side rendering on the first visit.
    • Switches to client-side WebAssembly rendering for subsequent interactions, improving responsiveness.
  • Drawbacks:
    • Requires additional configuration compared to simpler modes.

Introducing the Blazor Rendering Modes Cheat Sheet
Being uncertain about which render modes would effectively function together, my team and I embarked on a thorough examination, testing all possible combinations of render modes, particularly when components are nested. After extensive testing, we’re excited to share the comprehensive results with you

The Chicken

Main jangal main apni family ke saath baitha tha. Mera bada bhai khana dhundne ke liye gaya tha. Mene dekha ki vo bhagte hue aa raha tha. Usne dur se hi chilana shuru kar diye ki vo aa rahe hai yahan se bhago. Ye sab sunte hi hum logo ne bhagna chalu kar diya. Hum logo ne bahut tez bhagna chalu kiya mera dil bahut tez dhadak raha tha, muje pata hai unse bach pana muskil hai.

Kafi dur bhagne ke baad hamare upar ek jaal gir pada, hum log pakad me aa gaye the vo log aaye aur hume utha ke gadi me dal diya. Main bahut chilaya ki hume chod do lekin unhone meri nahi suni. Jo log hume utha ke le ja rahe the vo size me humse bhaut bade aur takatvar the.

Ab hum log ek kamre me the vahan pe hamare jaise bahut sare log the. Hamari puri family ek saath hi thi. Phir vo Aya aur mere maa ko utha ke le gaya. Mene bhut kosis ki use rokne ki lekin main esa kar nahi paya. usne mere chehre pe apni laat raki aur maa ko le gaya. Phir usne meri maa ko ulta lakta diya , aur uske gale ko halka sa cut kar diya. aur maa ko ek box me daal diya usme vo chilati rahi. Thodi der baad usne mere maa ko nikala aur table par leta diya. uske baad usne ek bade chaku se uski skin utarni start kar di meri maa tadap rahi thi lekin unhe koi farak nahi pad raha tha. muje bahut gussa aa rha tha mere aakhon ke aage andhera cha raha tha muje bas apni maa dikh rahi thi. uske badd vahan par kuch aur log aaye usne mere maa ki ek taang kaat ke un logo ko de di. phir usne meri maa ke pet me chaku ghopa aur ek organ bahar nikala aur vo kisi aur ko de diya. meri maa tab tak bhi mari nahi thi vo muje dekh rahi thi aur main apni maa ko. Meri mummy dhire dhire tadap kar mar gai phir unhone uske tukde kar diye aur dusre logon ko de diye . Ek ek karke mere puri family ko mar diya. Phir unhone muje uthaya aur muje marne ki bajaye ek gadi me daal diye.

Jab meri aankh khuli tho main ek kamre me tha mere saath ek aur mere jaise tha lekin vo bahut ajeeb tha. Mene uske pass jaake baat ki, ye kya jagaha hai ? Usne kaha ye zoo hai. Mene ye word phele kabhi nahi Suna tha. Mene usse pucha ye log hame kyun marte hai. Vo zor zor se hasne laga, phir usne kaha usi liye jis liye hum insaan animals ko marte the hamra meat tasty hai.

Vo 150 saal phele hamare planet par aaye the vo humse bahut jyada intelligent aur powerful the. Unke samne hamri intelligence kuch bhi nahi thi. Unhe kabhi Laga hi nahi ki hum ek civilized society hai. Aur unhone hume khana chalu kar diya. Hum unke favourite food hai. Tumhari generation last generation hai jinko language aati hai , humne ladne ki bhi kosis ki aur baat karne ki lekin sab failure tha . ab ye log hume unke saath rakte hai bada karte hai phir paka ke kaha jaate hai. Phir vo zor zor se hansne Laga Hum insano ki fav dish chicken thi ab hum unke chicken hai. The new chicken.

Brahma Vishnu Mahesh

Brahma jaise hi neend se jaagta hai vo apna device ko open karta hai aur dharti ka status check karta hai. vaise toh uthne ke baad sabse phele vo apana device check nahi karta, lekin aaj use bahut utsukta ho rhai hai dharti ke bare me kyuki dharti ko usne 3 din phele banaya hai.

vo dharti ka status dekh ke bahut ghabra jata hai, usne jaise estimate kiya tha dharti vaise kaam nahi kar rahi hai, insaan aapas me ladne lag gaye hai aur vo ese hi ladte rahe toh jiske liye unhe banaya tha vo kaam kabhi bhi pura nahi ho payega. use bilkul bhi samaj nahi aa raha hai ki insaan esa kyu kar rahe hai. kafi soch ne ke baad vo decide karta hai ki dharti ke is version ko destroy karna hoga aur phir se start karna padega. lekin dharti ko khatm karne ka access uske pass nahi hai. vo ready hoke Shiv ke pass chala jata hai.

Shiv brahma ko bahut gusse se dekhta hai, kyuki shiv ko har baar dharti ke ek version ko khtam karke dusra version chalu karna padta hai. aur vo baar baar ye sab karke pareshan ho chuka hai. lekin ye uska kaam hai use karna hi padega. shiv apna device open karta hai aur brahma ko bulata hai kuch dikhane ke liye, vo dekh kar bramha aur bhi ghabra jata hai kyuki abhi is version ko khatam karke phir se start kiya tho kaam time pe khatam nahi ho payega aur uski naukri khatre me aa sakti hai. ab shiv aur brahma ke pass 1 hi option hai unhe visnu ki help leni hi padegi.

Brahma aur shiv dono vishnu ke pass chale jaate hai aur use sari baat bata dete hai. vishnu jo hamesha hi bahut busy rahta hai, aankhe band karta hai aur ek lambi saans leta hai aur dono ko room se bahar jaane ke liye bol deta hai. vishnu dharti ke is version ki history ke baare me analysis karta hai, aur phir dharti me kuch badlaav karta hai aur 1 ghante baad dono ko aane ke liye bolta hai.

jaise hi vo dono room me aate hai visnu unko dharti ka status dekhne ke liye bolta hai, ab dharti par sab sahi hai insaan ek dusre se ladai nahi kar rahe hai sab ek saath milkar vo kaam kar rahe hai jiske liye unhe banaya gaya tha. Brahma aur shiv dono vishnu se puchte hai ki usne ye kaise kiya.

Visnu brahma ki taraf dekh kar bolta hai ki jab tumne insaan ko banaya toh tumne unhe kuch bhi imagine karne ki power de di, jo ki bahut jarui thi. lekin mene kuch cheeze insaan ke imaginations se hata di hai. Dharm, jaati aur desh.

Insaan ne imagine kar liya ki use kisi ne baya hai jo ki sach hai lekin ye sach jaane ki unhe jarurat nahi hai. Unhone alag alag religion bana liye aur apas me ladne lag gaye. aur ek religion me bhi unhone jaati aur race bana li jsike vajha se ek hi religion ke log aapas me ladne lag gaye. phir unhone desh bana liye aur ek desh dusre desh ke ladne lag gaye. lekin sachai ye hai ki ye teeno cheez exist nahi karti ye sirf insaan ke dimag me hai. darthi ke baaki species in teeno chezzo ko nahi maanti.

Vishnu brahma ki taraf dekhta hai aur bolta hai, tumne jo imagination ki power insaan ko di thi vahi inki ladai ka karan hai. lekin mene ye teeno cheeze insaan ke dimag se hata di hai, unki history ko mene badal diya hai. ab insaan ki pass esa kuch bhi nahi hai jise bachane ki liye vo baaki insaan se lade. aur insaan dubara in cheezo ke baare me imagine nahi kar payega mene unhe parmanently block kar diya hai.

bramha visnu ko bolta hai aaj ki party meri taraf se. aur man me sochta hai jab dubra dharti banunga toh phelei hai decide kar lunga ki insaan kya kya imagine kar sakta hai.

Design Goings On

As far as I know

The GNOME 3.8 release kept me pretty busy. In the run up to UI freeze I was focusing on tracking bugs, providing guidance and testing. Then it was marketing time, and I was spending all my time writing the release notes as well as some of the website. (Kudos to the marketing team for a great 3.8 release, btw.)

With 3.8 behind me, I’ve been able to turn back to some good honest design work. I’ve been looking at quite a few aspects of GNOME 3, including Settings and GNOME Shell. However, in this post I am going to focus on some of the application design activities that I have been involved in recently. One of the nice things here is that I have found the opportunity to fill in some gaps and pay some attention to some of the long-lost applications that are in need of design love.

3.8 is out!

As far as I know

gnome-3-8

It’s that time again: 3.8, the latest GNOME release, has just gone out of the door.

This is the strongest release of the 3.x series, in my opinion. We’ve not just got a lot of really nice features, like the new application view, the updated window selector and the new Clocks app. There’s also major technical accomplishments, like Owen’s frame sync work, Jasper’s pointer barriers and Web’s switch to WebKit2. Many of the existing applications have also received some very nice enhancements.

Go read the release notes, if you haven’t already: they’re pretty impressive.

As ever, this release is the result of the hard work and dedication of everyone who contributed, and I know that some people really pushed hard to make this release as good as it is. To all of you: thank you. I continue to be blown away by the dedication of the GNOME community.

I have recently upgraded my ThinkPad T500’s operating system to Ubuntu 12.10 and everything went very smooth except an annoying issue: the suspend functionality was not activated when I closed the laptop lid. Running pm-suspend from the command line, clicking on the Suspend from the GUI, or using the Fn+F4 key combination was working and my laptop was going into the sleep mode but somehow closing the lid was not achieving the same effect.

A quick Google search turned this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/863834 and a simple work around: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/863834/comments/30

So I have decided to implement a similar workaround, but instead of using pm-suspend, I preferred to use dbus-send to invoke the sleep mode (see http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11331634&postcount=6 for more details):

Some Days Without Smartphone

Recently I bought a Sony Xperia J android Smartphone.I bought it and thought that it will make me more productive and will save my lot of time. It was working very I downloaded many apps to make me more productive and I assumed that I am now more productive.  I thought apps like Facebook , Twitter and Instagram Will make me social hero. But recently I analyzed I am more productive without my smartphone.

In a period of three months I have put my smarphone in service center for 3 times. The model that bought sucks a lot. This post is not about arguing how bad Sony Xperia j is it is about some days without smartphone.

I have submitted my phone last Saturday I am not using any phone I am in switch off mode. These days are quite mixed for me, some time it’s good sometime its bad. I think it is not about good or bad it is about what is important for you. For me mental peace is most important so i am quite happy without smartphone.

Now the first thing is that there is no alarm clock to wake me up early in the morning. I have to borrow it from someone else, well!! That is pain in neck; this can be resolved by bringing a new alarm clock. I am ready for the office bit early because I don’t waste my time checking mails, social media notification and Google reader. My morning is now more productive.

After reaching office i check all my mails and Google reader feeds on my office machine. The only thing that I miss is my music now that is again pain in neck. In office I don’t face any distraction in forms of call , sms or social notification. I am not concentrating more on my work. It may be the case of will power that how often you check your mail but for me it was my habit of checking my phone after every half an hour. So, for me it is real peace to not have a phone with me. I am no longer on line on g-talk and facebook so no distraction in forms of pings.

These days I have less work in office so I spend my e hours after lunch in library. There I  miss my phone allot because I not able to make notes on evernote.This is the first time from morning I have missed my phone.

I check all my personal mail, social notification and Wordpress notification only after reaching home. In office I am only doing my official work and this increases my productivity in office. And in night also I am sleeping early. I am no longer gazing on my Smartphone lying on bed. There is no sense of urgency of replying someone or posting comment on Facebook, and there is a peace in my life.

I am enjoying these days without phone and I have learned what are good and bad of Smartphone. If you use you Smartphone wisely then it is useful thing otherwise it is waste of time. Share your thought on comments.
