Check out this video interview with Cody Skidmore. Cody has created an ASP.NET MVC website that uses DevExpress ASP.NET controls. In the video, you'll see:
- Cody's ASP.NET MVC logging website
- What DevExpress controls Cody used
- Thoughts on ASP.NET MVC
Background
A few months ago, Cody asked me with great interest about DevExpress plans to support the upcoming ASP.NET MVC framework. At the time, we hadn't solidified our thoughts, but now we've announced that we'll support ASP.NET MVC in a future release.
However, Cody did some experimenting and figured out that with a few tweaks that you can get some DevExpress ASP.NET controls to work with ASP.NET MVC right away. So he build a website for his company, ARMTech Insurance. And he's been kind enough to share his website, project source code, thoughts and time to show you what's possible with Developer Express controls.
How?
Since DevExpress ASP.NET controls support callbacks, it wasn't difficult for Cody to get the controls working within ASP.NET MVC framework. Watch the video screencast to learn more.
ASP.NET MVC?
The Microsoft ASP.NET MVC framework is different than ASP.NET Web Forms. To learn more, watch some of the tutorial videos on the Microsoft ASP.NET MVC website.
