Product Information

Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC extend the ASP.NET MVC platform by delivering reusable UI controls built specifically for MVC. A server-based framework integrates with client-side modules built on the popular JavaScript library, jQuery, to deliver productivity enhancing controls for MVC that do not violate the patterns, practices, and guidance of the platform. The Telerik Extensions restore developer productivity to ASP.NET MVC and make it possible to build clean rendering web applications without writing all code by hand.

Please Note: These controls are available free from Telerik for internal use or for open source applications licenced under the GPL V2.0. However, if you require priority support or are building closed-source commercial products for redistribution with these controls, you should purchase the commercial edition.

Features

Pure ASP.NET MVC Components

Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC is built from the ground up to fully embrace the principles of the ASP.NET MVC framework - lightweight rendering, clean HTML, clear separation of concerns, easy testability- while helping make you more productive building MVC views. You remain in control of your views while not being forced to write all HTML, CSS, and JavaScript by hand.

Completely Open Source

The Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC are licensed under the widely adopted GPLv2. In fact, the complete source for the Extensions is available on CodePlex. For those that need dedicated support or need to use the Extensions in an environment where open source software is hard to get approved, Telerik provides a commercial license that includes Telerik’s legendary support.

Exceptional Performance

Discover unprecedented ASP.NET performance with the lightweight, semantically rendered, reusable Telerik Extensions built for ASP.NET MVC. No ViewState. No PostBacks. No Page Lifecycle. Additional performance gains are delivered through the Extensions’ Web Asset Managers, which enable you to optimise the delivery of CSS and JavaScript to your pages. Quickly combine, cache, and compress resources to reduce page requests and size, improving page load time performance.

Based on jQuery

The Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC client-side code is based on the open source and Microsoft-supported jQuery JavaScript library. By using jQuery, the Telerik Extensions minimize their client-side footprint and draw on the power of jQuery for advanced visual effects. jQuery integration also provides an easy and reliable way to work with control HTML elements.

Multiple ViewEngine Support

The Telerik Extensions are built from the ground-up to support ASP.NET MVC, which means they work with any ASP.NET MVC ViewEngine. In addition to the default ASPX ViewEngine, you can use other ViewEngines that supports ASP.NET MVC, such as Spark or NHaml, without changing any code. The fluent .NET API used to configure the UI Extensions is 100% resusable between ViewEngines.

Alternative to ASP.NET WebForms

Just as Microsoft makes clear with the ASP.NET MVC framework, the Telerik Extensions for MVC are an option, not a replacement for the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX. The Telerik Extensions for MVC are designed for developers that have decided to use MVC and want a more productive way to create rich views with .NET.

Wide Cross-Browser Support

Telerik delivers the same broad cross-browser compatability to the MVC Extensions found in the AJAX UI components: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Opera and Google Chrome. Telerik also continues to be diligent in leading the industry to deliver support for new browsers and browser versions as they are announced.

Rich CSS Skinning

The Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC ship with a rich library of professionally-designed skins that are crafted to look identical to the skins for the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX. You can build styled, rich web applications with the look-and-feel of Windows Vista, Office 2007, Outlook, or any of the 13 common skin themes. All skins are fully cross-browser compatible and tested, and all skins use optimized styling techniques, like CSS sprites and primitives, to ensure maximum performance.

Library of Learning Resources

Jumpstart your Telerik MVC development with an abundance of support and learning resources, like online documentation, video tutorials and online examples, available at no extra charge. All Telerik video resources can be accessed via the official Telerik TV video portal.
