Which technology do you recommend for responsive partial-page updates: WebForms or MVC?
I am using Infragistics ASP.NET on WebForms now. But I experience endless problems making pages responsive without full page postbacks. E.g. partial page updates with complex controls like WebDataGrid and WebExplorerBar.
In WebForms, I experience slow performance with UpdatePanels. Or, I experience perplexing page lifecycle errors when rendering controls to HTML in AJAX WebMethod calls.
Will MVC address any of these challenges? Which do you recommend?
Hello Ray,
I would recommend using IgniteUI for MVC instead of Ultimate UI for ASP.NET Web Forms for these requirements. Additionally, the IgniteUI for MVC controls are newer and provide more features.
More information regarding adding controls to an MVC project could be found in the following topic of our documentation.
A list of all controls, which Ignite UI for jQuery provides could be found here.
Please let me know if you need any further information regarding this matter.
Regards, Monika Kirkova, Infragistics
Do you have a video or setup steps for a new ASP.NET MVC project? (E.g. how to create a new MVC project and add scripts, css, references, and a control to that new project.) I saw one on YouTube but it is ten years old and no longer relevant to 2022.
Excellent. Thank you!
