Software Review: DXperience, Part II—ASPxperience Suite For ASP.NET From DevExpress - Page 2

Part of: The RAM Review

ASPxHiddenField is a component that lets you store and manipulate a set of values which should be available on both the server and client sides. It serves as a dictionary that can maintain an unlimited number of elements represented by key/value pairs. It can also store values of different types.

ASPxLoadingPanel is a control which can be used to display a "Loading..." text and image. It then notifies users that a callback is processing, and is meant to prevent the end user from clicking away before the callback has been completed. It can be displayed in the center of the page or can relate to any container.

DXperienceASPxMenu Suite offers you an elegant way in which to provide Web site navigation options to your end users. This library includes two individual components—ASPxMenu and ASPxPopupMenu—giving you both static navigation capabilities and context-sensitive action lists.

ASPxNavBar gives you the ability to emulate a Windows Style Explorer Bar or an MS Outlook SideBar within your application. In addition to traditional UI presentation elements, this allows you to create customized navigation options with its built-in template support so you can use it anywhere and everywhere you need to display list-oriented information to end users.

ASPxNewsControl will allow you to display news headlines on Web pages. This is actually an ASPxDataView that uses an ASPxHeadling control as a template for items. It supports both data-bound and unbound modes, giving you the ability to supply entries from external sources as well as manually populate the collection.

ASPxObjectContainer gives you the ability to embed flash movies, videos, soundtracks, and image files into your Web pages. In most cases, all you need to do is simply specify the target media file.

ASPxPager is a standalone control that lets you implement custom paging algorithms. This is basically a control that shows the page you are on, the total number of pages, and navigation controls to move through the pages.

ASPxPanel is a container area for other controls. This will let you group a set of controls together and be able to handle them as a group to hide or show them programmatically.
