 Syncfusion provides **Visual Studio Scaffolding** for the Syncfusion Blazor platform, that allowing you to quickly add code that interacts with data models and reduce the time it takes to develop with data operations in your application. Scaffolding simplifies the creation of Razor and Controller action methods for Syncfusion Blazor DataGrid, Charts, Scheduler, Diagram, Tree Grid, Rich Text Editor, and Document Editor, and PDF Viewer controls.

After the model file has been added, check that the required DBContext and properties are added. Now, build the application, and try scaffolding. If any changes made in the model properties, rebuild the application once before perform scaffolding.

+        When using adaptor types in Blazor scaffolding, it's important to note that we provide default adaptor links for sample purposes only. These default links are designed to help you understand how the adaptors work, but they do not perform CRUD (Add, Edit, Update, Delete) operations. Instead, these default links are placeholders to demonstrate the integration process.
+
+        To help you implement CRUD operations, we will provide sample code that you can use as a reference. This code will guide you through the necessary steps to enable CRUD functionality in your application. You can modify and integrate this sample code to suit your specific requirements.
+
+        However, if you wish to perform CRUD operations, you need to provide a valid link that handles these operations. This link should point to an endpoint or a service that is capable of managing the database operations required by your application. By providing this link, you ensure that your application can interact with the back end service to perform CRUD operations effectively.
 
     For **ServerSide Application**, both Local data and Remote data types will be available.
