Appearance Customisation
Each web control that ships within this suite fully supports style properties so that you can customise the appearance of individual elements and manage the overall appearance of a given control. In addition, all controls ship with a number of predefined auto-formats / presets. These presets allow you to specify the control’s appearance and behavior as your business needs dictate.
Binding to Data
The web controls that ship within this suite can be easily populated with data by binding to any standard data source type including: SqlDataSource, ObjectDataSource, XmlDataSource, AccessDataSource, and SiteMapDataSource.
Client-side Events
Our web controls expose a rich set of client-side events. These events are executed on the client side and have been engineered to maximise performance and to provide all key elements needed for the functionality of individual controls.
Template Technology
Templates are fully supported. For each control and each element inside it, you can completely customise the appearance or layout using any HTML or server-side control.
AJAX Support
All core components that ship within the ASPxperience Suite give you the ability to update control content using callbacks - thus eliminating the need to re-load the entire page.
Rich Client-Side Functionality
A comprehensive client-side API is available for our ASP.NET components. This functionality which is then coupled with the ability to handle events on the client side allows you to have full control over the control's behavior on the client side, without the need for post-backs or call-backs.
Cookies Support
Our controls fully support cookies allowing your site's visitors to personalise pages as needed. If cookies are enabled, every possible end-user customisation option is saved and then restored in future sessions.
Cross-Browser Compatibility
Internet Explorer 5.5+, Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox, Netscape 7.2+, Opera 8+, and even Safari from Apple. Our controls are cross-browser compatible and are carefully tested on multiple browsers to ensure utmost compatibility.
Included controls:
The
ASPxCloudControl allows you to introduce a popular web navigation and data analysis UI into your next ASP.NET project. It organizes hyperlinks by automatically arranging them within a specified area and indicating their weight (importance) using different size fonts and different colors.
The
ASPxDataView is a flexible data presentation tool. It arranges records into a specified number of rows and columns. If needed, it automatically splits content across multiple pages and provides end-users with an embedded page navigation UI -
ASPxPager control. Page navigation can be accomplished via postbacks or AJAX callbacks - whichever is more appropriate for your application.
The
ASPxMenu is part of our brand new ASP.NET 2 web development library and offers you an elegant way in which to provide website navigation options to your end-users. This library includes two individual components -
ASPxMenu and
ASPxPopupMenu - to enrich your sites with both static navigation capabilities and context-sensitive action lists. Like other Developer Express web controls, building standard menus for your web app are not the only thing you can deliver with this suite. With integrated template technology, you can easily transform menu items into anything you can imagine - for instance, you can transform a single-item context menu into a popup entry form.
The
ASPxNavBar allows you to introduce cutting edge site navigation capabilities to your ASP.NET 2 solutions with ease and simplicity. Whether you wish to emulate a Windows Style Explorer Bar or an MS Outlook SideBar within your application, the
ASPxNavBar is packed with countless developer friendly features specifically designed to help you build your best - without limits or compromise. In addition to traditional UI presentation elements, the
ASPxNavBar allows you to create highly customised navigation options with its built-in template support - you can use it anywhere and everywhere you need to display list-oriented information to end-users.
The
ASPxNewsControl provides a quick and easy way in which to display news/product headlines within a web page. To accomplish this, it includes two distinct controls: The first is designed for the representation of a single headline – The second is a ready-to-use news/product list control with built-in AJAX paging support.
This component library makes it incredibly easy to display popup windows and hints on your web pages. Simply place an
ASPxPopupControl onto a form and populate it with arbitrary HTML content and choose where to display it. Need to display this window when end-users hover or click an HTML element? Then you only need to specify that element's ID and choose the end-user action - the rest is done automatically. We even offer you multiple options so you can properly align your window relative to that element and add arbitrary offset to its position. Of course, you can also show any number of windows at any pixel position you choose. And if multiple windows have been invoked, they will behave just like ordinary windows you are used to - end-users will be able to move them, switch the active window, etc.
The
ASPxSiteMapControl adds an advanced site map generation engine to your development arsenal. It gives you what you would expect from a site map control and much more. As you would expect, it lets you read an XML site map and visualise it using numerous automatic link arrangement options. It offers you advanced style customisation mechamisms and even node templates so you can display anything you like within a site map node - from page descriptions to images.
The
ASPxTabControl includes two components, allowing you to build tabbed interfaces within your web sites. You can either use the ASPxTabControl component to only display tabs or use the
ASPxPageControl to associate specific page content with each tab. Both controls have been built to generate minimal HTML code, work on the client-side without hassles, be fast and fully support AJAX for on-demand page loading via callbacks.
ASPxTitleIndex is a unique web control that can be used to organise 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.
