I'm merely noting this for updates to the doc based on the product unit's feedback here and to keep an 👁️ on this issue. Note that the milestone is 8.0-MQ, which means that this will likely be reached after 7.0 releases (planned for November).

Hi there. Thanks for a prompt postback. The reason I posed that question is the lack of documentation on how to add a dynamic fields in C# code. Should it be something like
RenderFragment columns = b => { b.OpenComponent(1, typeof(TemplateColumn<MyItemType>)); b.AddMarkupContent(1,"<p>YOYOY</p>"); b.CloseComponent(); }; ?
Any brief example would be helpful. Sincerely

@guardrex we're trying to bring the QuickGrid productization work to 8.0-preview2. As soon as that's done, I'll ping you here to finish the documentation work for it.

[mkArtakMSFT]

@guardrex the change just got merged to preview2. Feel free to publish your docs when preview2 ships.

@mkArtakMSFT ... We still don't have the 8.0 docs in the doc version selector. I can address the content now for the preview 2 release, but nobody will ever see it until "8.0" is activated for view. @Rick-Anderson ... About when does that happen each year? I don't pay too much attention to when it happens ... I 🎷🎶 jam along until it just ✨ Magically Appears™ ✨😄.

Also, @mkArtakMSFT ... The ask here is for updated docs on features of QuickGrid ...

no info about adding the dynamic column from the C# code

... not just about it rolling into the framework for 8.0. It looks like from the blog post at https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/asp-net-core-updates-in-dotnet-8-preview-1/ that new features weren't added for preview 1.

Which of these should I pursue ...

1. Merely update the language to indicate that the package is in the framework for 8.0.
2. Do that ☝️ and look at PU PRs and document its new features for 8.0.

@mkArtakMSFT ... We still don't have the 8.0 docs in the doc version selector.

Publish some 8.0 content and if it's not activated I'll get that fixed. It's supposed to be active but I'm skeptical as I don't see in on the live site, but it's visible on the internal build site.

I put some up three weeks ago in a Blazor Hybrid doc ...

Internal work item URL

Hopefully this will be fixed in a few days. I gave them your 8.0 content to test. BTW, you can see the 8.0 content by hacking the URL like I did, but then you can't select other versions.

@guardrex production is working now. I think I'll open another work item to make it say pre-release

Thanks ... it indicates it after "8.0" is selected ...

It wasn't until I opened a new issue. Glad it's fixed.

This @guardrex !
You're right, we haven't added new features yet.

[guardrex]

Thanks @mkArtakMSFT ... I'll take care of it by EOD.

@guardrex should this be closed now?

Yes, I'll track on QuickGrid feature updates separately on my docs tracking issue. The coverage on it being in the framework is live now at ...
