How can I get a reference to a blazer control in code. I would like to change the control in code.

Answer 1

You have to use @ref on component declaration.

At next step, you have to define a variable with component type.

Now, you can access the component with variable.

<InputText @ref="PersonalNameTextbox" ...

In @code or razor.cs, define a variable:

InputText PersonalNameTextbox;

Example of access the component in afterRender, you can access them:

protected async override Task OnAfterRenderAsync(bool firstRender)
{
    if (firstRender)
        PersonalNameTextbox.Value = "Untitled!";
    ...
}
