I recently strong armed my boss into purchasing a license for Radzen Pro and have been using it for the past few weeks.
A few things I’ve noticed is that it seems the extension is lagging behind the standalone studio. Do you have a roadmap in regard to which areas are in dev and how far along parity is coming along?
One of the things that keep being an annoyance is that there is no Theme option when selecting colors.
In Visual Studio 2026 we are missing the Custom / Theme switch which allow for defining a custom color, or preferably in my opinion, selecting a color from the theme.
On the note of themes, are they automatically kept updated in the same way for the Visual Studio extension as in the Standalone Studio? I don’t think I’ve ever been notified of the Extension wanting to update my theme to keep it up-to-date, but the standalone studio does so after every update give or take.
Another annoyance is that I’ve not found a way to set how the default behaviour of opening razor pages work in VS. Radzen does not respect the Split Orientation set in XAML Designer → General. The Radzen options are barebones at best:
It would be nice if I could set if I wanted the split to be horizontal or vertical and have the designer window be at the top/bottom, left/right. At present, opening a razor page always start with clicking to swap from horizontal to vertical, and then swapping the designer and code.
We will add this option in one of the upcoming releases of Radzen Blazor for Visual Studio.
They should be. We would investigate if it works as expected. It tracks only premium themes though as they are not embedded in the Radzen.Blazor package and do not update automatically with it.
Indeed such an option is not currently available. We will implement it in one of the future versions.
