How do I properly configure InteractiveWebAssembly in a .NET 8 Blazor Web App?
The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.
Want to use over 200+ MCP servers inside your coding tools like Cursor?
I created a project using the .NET 8 Blazor Web App template
I want to use InteractiveWebAssembly in the Counter.razor page. I made the following changes in Program.cs:
CSHARPbuilder.Services.AddRazorComponents() .AddInteractiveServerComponents() .AddInteractiveWebAssemblyComponents();
and also modified the routing configuration:
CSHARPapp.MapRazorComponents<App>() .AddInteractiveServerRenderMode() .AddInteractiveWebAssemblyRenderMode();
In addition, I changed the directive in Counter.razor from @rendermode InteractiveServer to @rendermode InteractiveWebAssembly
However, the counter has stopped working and the debugger never hits the IncrementCount() method.
What modifications am I missing to properly enable InteractiveWebAssembly in my project?

It sounds like you’ve done the necessary changes in Program.cs and in your Counter.razor (changing the @rendermode), but you likely missed the client‐side bootstrapping that ends up loading the interactive WebAssembly runtime.
For interactive WASM components to work you also need to update your host page (for example, _Host.cshtml in a hosted app or index.html in a standalone WASM app) so that the browser downloads and initializes the WASM runtime. In other words, you must include the WebAssembly bootstrap script (and any related configuration) that you normally wouldn’t need for interactive server components. Without it, user actions (like clicking the button to call IncrementCount) won’t be handled.
Double‑check that your host page includes the necessary script reference such as:
HTML<script src="_framework/blazor.webassembly.js"></script>
This script is responsible for bootstrapping the WebAssembly runtime and wiring up the interactive WASM components. Once you add that (or otherwise update your host page as required by the interactive WASM documentation), the event callbacks (like IncrementCount) should start working.
So, yes, besides modifying Program.cs and the @rendermode directive in Counter.razor, you must also update your host page configuration for interactive WebAssembly support.

The default template does not include WebAssembly functionality.
To enable WASM, any code that runs in the browser must be placed in a separate project.
Here’s the recommended project structure for enabling WASM interactivity:
You can set this up easily using the --interactivity WebAssembly option when generating the project (or the corresponding switches in your IDE):
BASHdotnet new blazor -o WasmTest2 --interactivity WebAssembly
Note: It's bit confusing, because --interactivity WebAssembly means "also with wasm", not "wasm only". For wasm only there is separated dontet new blazorwasm template.
