What's New in v2010 vol 1

DevExpress MVC Extensions (Beta)

Main Benefits

DXperience v2010 vol 1 includes a Beta version of DevExpress MVC Extensions. These are native MVC controls that use .NET Framework 3.5 plus jQuery and produce no ViewState.

• Five New Native MVC Controls
  DevExpress MVC Extensions include a data grid, menu, navigation bar, tab control and round panel.
• Integrated jQuery
  Our MVC Extensions take full advantage of the jQuery library.
• Supports MVC 2.0 and VS2010
  Our MVC extensions support ASP.NET MVC 2.0 which you can use in either Visual Studio 2008 or Visual Studio 2010.
• Semantic Rendering
  Three of the DevExpress MVC Extensions - Pager, Menu and NavBar use semantic rendering combined with advanced CSS styles, which results in a dramatic decrease of HTML output, improved performance and a reduction in the server’s workload.
• Shared Functionality with Existing DevExpress ASP.NET Controls
  DevExpress MVC Extensions offer many of the same features and functionality as those found in our WebForms controls without producing any ViewState.
• Built on .NET Framework 3.5
  DevExpress MVC Extensions assembly code and demos are created using .NET Framework 3.5. As such, we use many Framework 3.5 technologies such as auto-properties, lambda expressions, LINQ, etc.

DevExpress MVC Extensions are available free of charge to those who have an active (non-expired) DXperience Universal, Enterprise, and ASP.NET Subscription.
