How does FineUI implement responsive UI? - asp.net-mvc

I am using FineUI MVC asp.net control lib, and they start to support responsive in V5.0. I am curious about their implementation so checked with their support team, they replied me with "pixel-based elegant design using javascript" instead of my imaged css media query. Not sure if anyone is using this library, or if there is any hint to help me figure out their implementation? Thank you in advance.

Best UI tool to use with breeze?

Can anyone recommend a UI toolset, commercial or open source, that works well with breeze.js?
I have tried kendo with knockout-kendo.js, but it doesn't play well.
thanks
I am using slickgrid after trying datatables ,jqxGrid and KOGrid.
If you are not using Durandal then I would suggest KOGrid. It does not render well when using Durandal. If you do not intend to use Durandal then I would suggest slickgrid... the performance is just sensational. Both of these are full featured grids but slickgrid has been around longer.

VCL for Web skins/themes?

Has anyone created a skin/theme wrapper for Intraweb/VCL for Web ?
The default look of the grids etc are very dated..
Any info appreciated.
CSS is the best way to make your web pages look fancy.
You might want to check out the Intraweb components TMS offers. Grid example is here.
Ok this is an old question anyway i give my answer. I use these CGDEVTOOLS Intraweb components, they make an app look modern and they have an handful of features that extend Intraweb, expecially on the ajax side. They are very good, but use them only if you are serious about Intraweb. It could be strange to start sudying Intraweb in 2018.

asp.net mvc and fckeditor

would like to use fckeditor or similar for building/editing webpages on the fly
but there are a few other old questions where there are issues
am looking for any recent experiences/alternatives ?
thanks
http://tinymce.moxiecode.com is not bad
I had a pretty easy time integrating fckeditor in my asp.net mvc app. The fact that mvc and regular webforms co-exist seamlessly made including the free fckupload utility a snap. I highly reccomend it.
Depends on the functionality you need. If it's a simple one like the one used here at StackOverflow, there's a Markdown Editor.

Telerik controls in ASP.NET MVC

Telerik claims their controls work with ASP.NET MVC now. Has anyone already used the controls in a MVC project?
My company uses the Telerik ASP.NET controls in a large application and it works out quite well. That's why we think about using them in a MVC project.
EDIT 1:
telerik has a new go at ASP.NET MVC this looks much better then their first go at it. But it was to late for my project. http://www.telerik.com/products/aspnet-mvc.aspx
You could check out the demo application (a forums application) they built using ASP.NET MVC, announced here. Source code is available.
The demo is a simple- and stylish -
forums application. It uses 9 of the
RadControls, including RadGrid,
RadEditor, RadChart, RadTreeView and
RadUpload, to build a forum site that
has basic thread/post navigation,
formatted forum posting, user
authentication (with support for
custom avatars), and a site activity
"Statistics" view. Everything you need
to have a fully functional MVC forums
app. The source is available for
immediate download, so I encourage
anyone interested in learning more
about MVC or the RadControls in MVC to
grab the bites and study the example.
You may have already seen it, but Telerik has a blog post about how to use their controls with MVC and some of the limitations. I don't actually use their controls so I can't speak to whether the limitations are really a problem. It does appear that there is a a little more "manual lifting", so to speak, when using the controls with MVC but that there are workarounds to get most of them to work properly.
I'm hoping that they will eventually release MVC versions of their controls. I'm holding off evaluating them until that happens, but if you're already using them I'd certainly look to see how easy they would be to use with MVC. Perhaps you could update your question with an answer if you give it a try and let the rest of us know how it went.
I have been using the Telerik controls for about 6 months. I have been using the Grid and Window controls on MVC 2. Like most commercial products there are issues we have been fortunate to work them out. Once you get past the initial learning curve the controls are time savers. You can't beat the price for the amount of functionality you get.
My biggest issue is that they seem a bit sluggish responding on their forums. Maybe I'm just asking lame questions. I've been lobbying management to pay the $ for the supported version. Considering the amount of time we spend digging around to solve some of the more complicated problems I think it would be worth it.
I've just had a look at their grid and wrote a small POC project with it and must say I'm quite impressed. I'm not sure about their previous MVC controls iterations, but the current one can be a real time saver. It also fits very nicely into ASP.NET MVC ajax applications since there is a rich client-side API. Having jquery DataTables on the client side results in an even better user experience (because it is much faster), but also requires more error-prone javascript code.
As an alternative, you can check for MDBootstrap (it´s a front-end framework built on top of Bootstrap). There you will find an article with free ASP.NET MVC templates.

Anyone know whether there is a 5-star rating control for asp.net mvc?

I require a star rating control (which allows partial rating like 4.5) for my application built on asp.net mvc.
Any pointers in this direction will be helpful?
Rogie, over at Komodomedia, has spent far too long on this topic writing 3 articles on the topic.
Just in case anyone got lost in the link-soup this is the latest.
It's not MVC specific, but it is cross browser and allows you to get the value back via postback or ajax.
Meanwhile I found this link with example in asp.net.
http://beckelman.net/post/2008/08/30/Survey-Using-jQuery-Star-Rating-Widget.aspx
This is pretty helpful.
Thanks everyone for the help.
I know its not a control, but I found it very easy to implement.
I just implemented this on one of my sites using MVC and it worked beautifully.
http://www.mikesdotnetting.com/Article/114/jQuery-Star-Rating-with-ASP.NET-MVC
This one is my favorite Rating plug-in for JQuery:
http://rateit.codeplex.com/
it comes with good examples:
http://www.radioactivethinking.com/rateit/example/example.htm
There are a couple in the jQuery plug-in list that will be able to do what you require. However there is no specific control for MVC yet.
I tried looking at the links given as response however was not that happy and I developed my own star rating system here and have wrote an article of how I have done it. Hope this will be helpful

Thanks
I know this is an old post but I like to answer it for everybody who will find this post through search engines.
This article explains how to implement a star rating system for MVC.
I have implemented it and it works like a charm.
