Developer Express recently added an ASP.NET MVC Web Application Demo up on their website showing how you can leverage their current ASP.NET Webform Server Controls in an ASP.NET MVC Website.
I think we can all agree that using ASP.NET Webform Server Controls in an ASP.NET MVC Website is less than ideal, but I can understand the attractiveness of retrofitting them in an ASP.NET MVC Website for those developers who have invested a lot of time and money in their webform server controls.
The MVC Mail Demo uses the following Developer Express Webform Controls:
- Grid View (ASPxGridView)
- Combo Box (ASPxComboBox)
- Html Editor (ASPxHtmlEditor)
- Menu (ASPxMenu)
- Navigation bar (ASPxNavBar)
- Page control (ASPxPageControl)
- Text box (ASPxTextBox)
- Memo (ASPxMemo)
- Label (ASPxLabel)
- HyperLink (ASPxHyperLink)
- Popup control (ASPxPopupControl)
- Button (ASPxButton)
- Upload control (ASPxUploadControl)
You can check out the demo as well as download the source code here.
