MS Office® Style Calendar and Scheduling Controls for ASP.NET
Multiple view types from single day to month and timeline views, side-by-side calendars and complete AJAX callback support.

Built and optimized for ASP.NET 2, the ASPxScheduler Suite includes all the elements you will need to create stunning web applications that mimic the capabilities found in Microsoft Outlook's scheduler. This suite ships with a complete set of timeline presentation formats, including those unavailable with other scheduling component libraries - the horizontal timeline view and side-by-side calendar display.
Additionally, the ASPxScheduler Suite delivers a myriad of features including event recurrence support, appointment drag & drop and resizing, advanced date navigator, built-in editor dialogs and helper buttons allowing you to easily navigate between scheduled appointments.
All the features mentioned above have been built on top of our core ASP.NET library, thus providing lightweight rendering and high responsiveness via AJAX callbacks.
Easy and Straightforward
With the ASPxScheduler, a fully-functional scheduling application is just a couple of mouse clicks away. You simply place the scheduler control onto a web page and configure its data source - and that's it. All browsing and appointment management capabilities are available directly to end-users without any real effort on your end.

DevExpress Core Framework for ASP.NET AJAX Controls
The entire DevExpress ASP.NET Product Line was built on top of a shared framework implementing numerous advanced features like callback-enabled processing, Client-side API, SharePoint Integration, Web Accessibility, cross-browser rendering and much more.
I first heard about DevExpress from a link via the ASP.NET developer web site offering a set of free and trial controls in the DXperience suite. Having wrestled with a competitor's product for a year, I admit I was skeptical. But I was pleasantly surprised. The amount of research and development that goes into your controls is evident. You understand that your target audience are time poor developers, who look towards third party controls to provide productivity. Building functional and attractive web based software can be an awful and expensive experience, compared to Windows Forms. There are a multitude of client and server side pieces you need to orchestrate but always with aesthetics and cross browser compatibility in mind. You have to be careful when choosing 3rd party products. I have wasted hundreds of hours on a competitor's product at 3 times the price, that uses web resource files to churn out the JavaScript and tens of kilobytes of page markup with styles and images that aren't even used on the page but sent back anyway, and whose controls (hierarchical data grid) wont render properly in Fire Fox or IE 6.0 and whose documentation was written by the marketing department and not an engineer who knew how the product interacts with the page. I could go on about my experience with this other product but its not good for my health. With DevExpress it just makes sense to me. I'll often find myself trying out some variation of your examples and saying, wow did I do that? The DevExpress approach is elegant and shows your engineering, rather than marketing background. Client side JavaScript sits, appropriately, in a Scripts directory where it can be easily modified or enhanced. Themes are neatly grouped into self contained directories with standardized Skin names, images and real CSS. This makes it easy to alter CSS classes to suit your overall site which I did by simply commenting out parts of styles that I wanted over-written by a site-wide style sheet. For example, if I didn't like the 'Glass' theme's table font and line spacing, I simply could comment out the 'td' elements style attributes in the Glass theme's CSS so the style is inherited from my global style sheet not specific to any one DevX theme. Easy. I really like the resources available for developers as well, videos, forums and examples that are up to date and practical. A simple version number global replace is all its takes to resolve versioning from the samples if need be. Thank you for the productivity boost I needed to allow me to develop great looking web apps. You've taken the burden of the aesthetics, browser compatibility and plumbing away so I can concentrate on the business problem domain.
