  • Third party WebControls list

    I would like to share a list of real useful third party webcontrols.

    Why? Because there are so many controls on the market actually and it's hard to find the best one.

    What I would like to see is not an exhaustive list of controls but more what developers use, and sort this list by true ratings based on your experience.

    So if it's working well, I will organise a list like Fabrice did for the tools.

    I would like to start by two types of controls I use a lot.

    - Menu Control
      - ASP.Net menus
    Coalesys
    I like this one, the only issue I have is that it's quite hard to setup.

    - Text Editor 
    Rich Text box
    RichTextbox
    Probably the most complete and easy to use

  • Viewstate(2)

    "After postback, the values will be there still, unless ViewState is explicitly disabled by the user. This is the way all the .NET WebControls work (try setting the text of a control in onload when !IsPostBack and notice how it will retain its value for the lifetime of the page, even though you never explicitly set it again).

    This is cool but what's amazed me in this story is that apparently Martin Cooper is still working on some innovative products, and he's 74 !

    Well done Martin, I would like to be so healthy at this age, but not sure to live so long ;-)

  • Viewstate

    Your answer is in the first part of your post. You create a public property which gets and sets the value inside of the viewstate:

We have now taken over the Ministry of [Dis]-Information, and at least one presidential palace. Check out MSNBC for more info. Just thought I'd give you guys a heads-up.


    Hey man I didn't know you were there. The WE is a bit too much no ? This is not a painting-ball game :-((.
    Very sad to read some bullshit like that !
