This book will show how to use Ext.NET 2 to create sophisticated and highly
interactive web applications whether you use ASP.NET Web Forms or ASP.NET
MVC. The chapters will go through setting up and exploring various controls
that Ext.NET provides. It will look at the sophisticated AJAX and data-handling
options available while also providing tips and guidance for creating reusable and
maintainable components.
The list of components that Ext.NET covers and the variety of ways in which you
can use them are immense. It would be beyond the scope of this book to detail all
of them, so this book will cover the most common and/or interesting ones, but
importantly it will also empower you with the ability to learn and explore the rest
in your own time.
To build a rich internet application, you need to integrate a powerful client side JavaScript framework with a server side framework. Ext.NET achieves this by integrating Sencha’s Ext JS framework with the power of ASP.NET. The result – a sophisticated framework offering a vast array of controls, layout, and powerful AJAX and server bindings, which can be used to build rich, highly usable web applications.
"Ext.NET Web Application Development" shows you how to build rich applications using Ext.NET. Examples guide you through Ext.NET’s various components using both ASP.NET Web Forms and MVC examples. You will also see how Ext.NET handles data binding and server integration. You will also learn how to create reusable components and put them together in great looking applications.
This book guides you through the various Ext.NET components and capabilities to enable you to create highly usable Ext.NET components and web applications.
You will learn about various UI components and numerous layout options through examples. You will see how the AJAX architecture enables you to create powerful data-oriented applications easily. This book will also teach you how to create reusable custom components to suit your needs.
