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.

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.
I think this question was asked for several times already, but since mvc is a new technology, I hope there is something new for it.
is there something good for mvc, to do reports ?
If You need charts, use javascript. Something like HighCharts.
If you want to use rdlcs, using mvc, it's still possible to generate them and serve as pdfs available to download. Something like this I guess.
I am developing a commercial MVC2 app that requires a grid that has callback update in some form to support 10,000+ rows. It should also support relatively rich content (icons, multiline descriptions etc). Although it requires the usual paging/scrolling/sorting features it does not need support for grouping. So nothing that special.
The commercial grids I looked at were Component Art and Telerik which both look pretty good but may be a little OTT for what I need. They are also $800 and $999 respectively (1 developer).
I've also looked at jqGrid and the grid from MvcContrib. These appear ok but for a commercial app I am concerned that these may be risky options - though could be wrong there.
I'd really appreciate any views/exprience on either the above grids or perhaps you can suggest a better option/approach.
FYI I am using EF4 and C#.
I have quite a bit of experience with jqGrid, the grids from DevExpress and telerik, as well as ExtJS. By far, my favorite of the bunch is jqGrid. I'm not concerned with lack of support or the project going away. They had just recently introduced a redesigned grid for use with MVC: http://www.trirand.com/blog/?p=639
telerik and DevExpress are both excellent in their own way. A friend of mine has had issues with the eventing model of the telerik grid, and I've experienced quite a bit of 'html bloat' from the DevExpress grid. telerik has great support for doing things like reordering columns on the client side, while the DevExpress grid requires a call back to do this.
ExtJS is wonderful, but I really feel that it is a very heavy JavaScript grid. Performance in IE can be dreadful with the ExtJS grid. It generally performs well if you do not have a lot of columns, or do not try and put more than one grid on a page. You'll want to definitely avoid putting the ExtJS grids into Tab controls, as all sorts of issues arise when the grid is rendered to a non visible element.
We've actually just recently decided to switch all of the grids used in our reporting system over to telerik's Silverlight grids, which perform beautifully compared to their JavaScript counterparts.
Hope this helps, and good luck.
Honestly, you can develop your own with MVC rather easily giving you all that you need. Though I suppose if you need something quick that works, the MvcContrib grid is great.
give a look to the datagrid of the MVC Controls Toolkit. It appears quite flexible. It allows editing, deletions, insertions and paging. Moreover it is really easy to move the changes to a DB in the controller. Look at it here.
There is a DevExpress grid much the same as Telerik which again might be over the top for you. However you can buy the grid on it's own rather than the whole suite although it may not be worth doing that since the grid is almost half the price of the suite.
My last shot at components for ASP.NET MC was not succesfull. Its so much harder to have a controll for MVC then for old school ASP.NET.
the routing the controll expects has to mapp nicely to the routing of your application
things get much harder when you have more then 1 grid on the page
if the controll has to work for non-Javascript enabled clients your choices are even more limited
if the back button of the browser needs to be working your choice is even more limited
In my case it turned out that it was much better to use plain html and jquery to realise paging, sorting and filtering for a table. I would draw the line if your site is more a public website (like mine) or an application that has a web frontend.
We use the ExtJS grid in out ASP.NET MVC project.

I recently research about this and the winning was jQgrid for performance is the Best!
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.
Okay this question is coming from someone who has never written any code beyond CSS, HTML and some php...
Pretty much I'm using Word all day and constantly needing to refer to just a couple of sites and resources on the web.
I would like to create a little add-in to go in the Ribbon in Word.
I have the full VB 2008 Proffesional edition.
Pretty much all I'd like it to do atm is have a new tab with a few easy to access buttons which link to specific URL's, although the ideal would be that pushing these links would also automatically log me into the websites at the same time.
Possible?
From this I'll hopefully be able to work off as I learn more...
Yes, it is possible, check VSTO.
You can definitly do this as a word add-in (the auto-login part may be tricky...).
Here are some ressources:

However, there are easier ways to do this. I would rather create a toolbar in my Windows taskpane.
