    What the Kendo UI MVC Server Wrappers Are and Why You Should Be Using Them - Part 1

    Most ASP.NET Developers rely on one or more control suites to augment their web applications.

Kendo UI is a powerful cross platform suite of controls that is based on HTML, JavaScript and CSS. This makes the suite completely interoperable across all major web development frameworks, including ASP.NET. And with the MVC Server wrappers and extensions Kendo UI and ASP.NET MVC work even better together!
