Navigation and Data Browsing Controls for ASP.NET AJAX
Over 20 ASP.NET components bringing you the capabilities you need on every web site... with consistent API and appearance options.
|
The ASPxperience Suite is our next-generation collection of web development tools designed to bring advanced capabilities including navigation, data layout management and application flow control into web applications. It has been written from ground up to extend your development arsenal with components that natively support the ASP.NET 2 Framework and provide complete out-of-the-box AJAX support.
Controls included into the ASPxperience Suite generate minimum possible HTML code, can load scripts on demand, optimize style usage, provide full client-side API where appropriate. These and even more features are implemented in our shared web development framework which is the base for every web component we produce. Please refer to the Shared Framework Features page for more information on these features as well as reasons why controls from the ASPxperience Suite have no equal in the marketplace.
As of today, the ASPxperience Suite includes almost twenty ASP.NET components. Please use links in the navigation bar to learn more about each included product.
We know that when it comes to web development libraries, you have numerous choices in the marketplace and we also know that each control vendor claims that their library is the best. Fact is that with so many options and so many claims, it can be difficult to tell truth from fiction. Of course, once released, we will offer a trial version so you can fully evaluate this product and like all other Developer Express products, we will warrant it with a 60 day no questions as money back guarantee.
DevExpress Core Framework for ASP.NET AJAX Controls
The entire DevExpress ASP.NET Product Line was built on top of the shared framework implementing numerous advanced features like callback-enabled processing, Client-side API, SharePoint Integration, Web Accessibility, cross-browser rendering and many more.
In general the controls are very advanced. They have a lot of options and I was surprised about two demos actually being based on the same control and still looking very different. At the same time they are very easy to style and implement. Most of them without a lot of code and delivered with the nice styling templates.
I really like the gridview control. The built-in AJAX, paging, filtering, editing support with templates looks very nice. You can do almost everything in the markup without writing any code. This is what a gridview should be.
The menu is also very nice. It does what any menu should do: style easily, be animated and load dynamically. The popup control is also a lot more advanced as the modal popup extender from the ajax control toolkit, but still easy to implement.
The tab control is really one of my favorites. Not any other tab control I found has the option to have other tab panels load with ajax. Either you have a postback or everything is downloaded to the client. Again, just what it has to do and it looks very nice in the glass style…
