ASP.NET Title Index Control - A part of the ASPxperience Suite
An ASP.NET control providing optimal browsing and data searching when displaying lengthy link lists.
|
ASPxTitleIndex is a unique web control that can be used to organize a catalog - i.e. provide easy access to elements in a lengthy list (on the client side or via AJAX callbacks). This control arranges links into an alphabetically sorted and grouped list by default. If needed, you can group data by any field value. End-users can easily narrow down their search to a particular group by selecting an auto-generated shortcut link or by using the filtering option.
The following is a list of features available to you. To try these features online, please visit our ASPxperience Suite Online Demo Center.
Table of Contents (Index Panel), Filter Box and Data List Settings
- The control can include the following elements: index panel, filter box and data (links divided into groups).
- Index panel can be displayed above data, below it or on both sides.
- Filter box can be displayed above or below the top index panel. You can also align it to the left or right control's edge.
- Each data group can display "Back to top" link. These links have fully customizable content and appearance.
- Caption and description text for the filter box are fully customizable.
- You can make a control more compact and readable by enabling a multi-column data display mode. In this mode, all data is simply split across multiple columns by default. Another option is to activate the categorized view. In this view, groups are arranged one under another. Data links are broken into multiple columns within groups.
- In multi-column display modes, you can specify styles for each column individually.
Data Binding and Management
- Display text and URLs for data are specified separately (can be obtained from different data fields).
- Data items can display hints. Hint text is obtained from the specified data field.
- Data can either be grouped alphabetically or using values from the specified grouping field.
- Unbound mode is available - you can manually customize the item collection and specify display text, description, URL and grouping value for each individual item.
- Links in the index panel can either navigate to the corresponding data group or filter data by the corresponding value.
- Filtering is fully executed on the client side.
AJAX Callback Support
- Data filtering via the index panel can be executed using callbacks.
- If callbacks are used, you can fully customize the loading panel's content.
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'm a "veteran" software developer (20 years in industry) and have programmed many applications in very different technologies, from very old languages like Wang-COBOL, newer ones like Oracle Forms and Reports Developer in client-server mode, through web applications using Microsoft ASP. My first web application was developed using native ASP pages and took me many nights and weeks to find out how to do very basic stuff, like grid paging, column sorting, record editing and all basic stuff that old programers like me used to have easily in other languages and IDEs in the past. I was really disappointed of what I did with basic ASP.NET controls and thought that web developing wasn't for me and that it was a step back in my programming experience, until I found DevExpress controls for ASP.NET. Now, I'm able to develop complete, profesional, very nice and full of functionallities applications, in just few days. I'm on my way again. Programming web applications is fast, easy and fun with DevExpress!!! Thank you Mehul and team for all the tools and the awesome support.
