⛔ DEPRECATED. This project was moved to a new repository. Visit dashboard-extensions to find an updated version.
The current repository does not support the modular approach for HTML JS Dashboard and will not be updated in the future.
A custom Web Page item displays a single web page or a set of pages. You can use the Web Page as a detail item along with the Master-Filtering feature.

- Handle the Web Dashboard's BeforeRender event to perform client-side customization of the Web Dashboard control before the control and its elements have been rendered.
<!-- For ASP.NET Web Forms -->
<dx:ASPxDashboard ID="ASPxDashboard1" runat="server" DashboardStorageFolder="~/App_Data/Dashboards">
<ClientSideEvents BeforeRender="onBeforeRender" />
</dx:ASPxDashboard>
@* For ASP.NET MVC *@
@Html.DevExpress().Dashboard(settings => {
settings.Name = "Dashboard";
settings.ClientSideEvents.BeforeRender = "onBeforeRender";
}).GetHtml()
- Register the custom item extension to add the Web Page to the Web Dashboard.
function onBeforeRender(sender) {
var dashboardControl = sender.GetDashboardControl();
dashboardControl.registerExtension(new CustomItems.WebPageItemExtension(dashboardControl));
}
The Web Page dashboard item supports the following setting that you can configure in the Web Dashboard UI:
- URL - Specifies a web page URL. You can set a single page as well as a set of pages (e.g., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/{0}). If you add a dimension and specify a placeholder, the data source field returns strings that will be inserted in the position of the {0} placeholder. Thus, the Web Page item joins the specified URL with the current dimension value and displays the page located by this address.
You can use this extension code as a base for your own dashboard item extension development.
