WEB UI components any suggestions?
-
I've been screwing around with the Infragistics web ui component library for 2 months now and it's just not working out. I'm a fan of their winform components but the web ones are not suitable at all. I'm going to look again at Telerik now that they've sorted out their licensing to make it reasonable for "shrink wrap" application vendors like ourselves and I'm going to take a hard look at ATLAS again, but I would love to hear any suggestions on any other components you guys might be particularly fond of. What I want is AJAX enabled components that are modern and sophisticated looking and easy to code to with business objects, not utilizing Microsoft's data adapter methods. I.E. I'm not binding to a DataView or the like but business object collections and objects that implement IList etc. In particular I'm loooking for a nice grid component, navigation components i.e. toolbars and menus, a date *and* time input component and a nice combo / list box that is AJAX enabled to handle paging of very large amounts of data. I have an existing .net business object library and a winform app that goes with it that is released and well seasoned at this point, what I need to do is replicate the interface in asp.net. Any and all suggestions welcome at this point as I'm starting over from scratch, I'd even be willing to look at any completely off the wall idea. I seem to recall someone posting a link to an unusual development framework that was all AJAX from the ground up.

John - have no idea if this suits your needs, but Google posted some AJAX web UI stuffs a while back; it's all Java based stuff, but then you didn't specify it had to be .NET either ... Here's the URL: Web Tool-kit[^]

Not sure of a particular vendor to point you to, but as far as your business objects go, check out the ObjectDataSource control that's standard in 2.0. It supposedly makes it easier to connect your domain objects to the ui controls.

Yeah I've been all over it. You have to have written your business object library to conform to it in the first place. I've got an existing library with well over 100 objects and collections in it that is being used in released winform app and I'm not going to touch them. That's not really the issue at this point though, I just need stable components I can work with that will be standards compliant and not cause me to become an unpaid member of the vendors debugging and quality control department.

I've just started working with the Developer Express[^] web components. They look really good so far. The grid mimics the Winforms version and looks excellent. You can bind to all sorts of things (collections etc.), they are all AJAX enabled and so on. Might be worth a look. Cheers, Drew.

DevXPress looks cool. Thanks! I already have Infragistics and I am in a similar dilemma as John. My solution was to write a grid control myself but devx grid has many of the features and it works correctly too:).

I've been using ComponentArt[^]. It works great. The ajax stuff they have is pretty awesome.
Free your mind...

Could you keep me informed of what you find? You seem to have a much deeper grasp of them than I do and I'd be curious to hear your comments. I'm totally frosted with Infragistics though. Over something totally petty to. I cannot even get their products to run and they don't seem willing to help me out...
