Actions and EventCallback
To communicate changes, we can use EventCallback, as shown in the Two-way binding section. EventCallback<T> differs a bit from what we might be used to in .NET. EventCallback<T> is a class that is specially made for Blazor to be able to have the event callback exposed as a parameter for the component.
In .NET, in general, you can add multiple listeners to an event (multi-cast), but with EventCallback<T>, you will only be able to add one listener (single-cast).
It is worth mentioning that you can use events the way you are used to from .NET in Blazor. However, you probably want to use EventCallback<T> because there are many upsides to using EventCallback over traditional .NET events, as follows:
- .NET events use classes, and
EventCallbackuses structs. This means that in Blazor, we don’t have to perform a null check before callingEventCallbackbecause a struct cannot be null. EventCallbackis asynchronous...
