Free Book + Sample Project: "Building Blazor Web Apps with Clean Architecture" (Radzen, .NET 10, EF Core, SQL Server)

Radzen.Blazor Components

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a free resource that might be useful to others building apps with Radzen Blazor components: a book called "Building Blazor Web Apps with Clean Architecture" by Benjamin Fadina, along with the full companion source code.

What it's about

The book walks through building a real task-management app (TaskFlow) as a Blazor Web App using Auto render mode, structured around Clean Architecture principles. It covers:

  • Structuring a solution into Domain, Application, Infrastructure, and Web/Web.Client projects, with the dependency rule enforced so no EF Core code or database credentials ever ship to the WebAssembly client

  • Domain modeling with entities like TaskItem and Category, including domain behavior methods (MarkComplete(), IsOverdue())

  • Application-layer DTOs, service interfaces, and implementations

  • EF Core setup with SQL Server: DbContext, Fluent API configurations, repositories, and a DbSeeder

  • Minimal API endpoints (/api/tasks, /api/categories) to support the WebAssembly client

  • Building the actual UI with Radzen Blazor Components — a DataGrid for tasks, a form dialog for editing tasks, and a categories page with inline dialogs built from DialogService.OpenAsync

The full, ready-to-open Visual Studio solution (every project and file described in the book) is on GitHub:
https://github.com/benjaminsqlserver/TaskFlow

It targets .NET 10 + SQL Server (LocalDB by default), and includes setup instructions in the README for restoring, running migrations, and seeding starter data.

Hope this is useful to folks here working with Radzen — happy to answer questions about the architecture or the Radzen-specific parts of the implementation!
