i using asp.net 4.0 , mvc 2.0 web application. project requiremrnt have use server side control in application not possibl in noraml case. ideally want use adrotator control , datalist control. i saw few samples , references in codepleax mvc controllib howwver found less useful. can tell how utilize theese controls in asp.net application along mvc. note: please provide functionalities related adrotator , datalist controls not equivalent functionalities thanks in advace. mvc pages not use normal .net solution makes use of normal .net components impossible. a normal .net page use event driven solution call different methods service side mvc use actions , view completly different way handle things. also, mvc not use viewstate normal .net controlls require. found article discussing mixing of normal .net , mvc.

WPF - Why doesn't Microsoft supply a decent set of most-used controls ? -

-

i've been playing wpf months now, , quite it. 1 of things don't why ms doesn't put little more effort in helping developers supplying basic controls, , need off chest :)

for example, figure applications somewhere need let edit properties - configuration or whatever. used types in proprety-grid editor ?

  • text
  • numbers (byte, float/double, int, etc)
  • colors

....etc.

so why isn't there simple control edit numbers ? generic numericupdown control allows type in numbers (no text, no pasting invalid input) or spin them up/down according given rules (decimal, floating point, min/maxvalue) ? why isn't there generic colorpicker, people same user-experience in every application ? why isn't there standard implementation of searchtextbox, breadcrumb-control, or these other standard control types users have gotten accustomed last 10 years ?

(..but @ least did have time implement a generic splashscreen - because knows greatly increases user-productivity....)

the well-known ideal give people same user-experience on different applications. if of controls easy make - preferred have 1 version on different applications.

i see people on internet trying same stuff on , on again. okay, ms started wpf toolkit project on codeplex tries implement controls, did half-heartedly , dead (last update of roadmap dates mar 21 2009).

the result of lot of people starting wpf-project end spending lot of time on trying figure out how create generic controls , frustrated.

wasn't mantra "developers, developers, developers!" ..?

/rant

because ridiculously easy make these in wpf. wpf , silverlight microsoft's focus on core framework makes many tasks (such stylable controls) dead simple. tools more important prebuilt controls. focusing on next thing rather better winforms.
