I am in the process of moving from the ajax asp.net controls to the mvc controls.

When I got the first grid hooked up I noticed that the skin for vista was very different from the ajax asp.net controls skin for vista.

Is there some way to migrate the asp.net skins to the mvc controls?

Hello Craig,

The Ajax and MVC skins are different in terms of implementation (CSS rules) which makes the verbatim conversion impossible. However we have made the MVC skins to look as closely as possible as their ajax counterparts. Indeed there are differences but I would not call them major. I have attached a screnshot showing the grids side by side. There most obvious differences are the pager style (RadGrid has a combobox for page size) and the alternating rows of the mvc grid.

Still if you want to have something styled as in RadGrid do let us know. We will help you modify the mvc CSS file to achieve what you want.

Atanas...

I agree for the most part the grid is very close.

Let's have a look at the tab strip for theme "forest"

ajax asp.net

mvc
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/TabStrip?theme=forest

I'm not sure how I could make the mvc looks the same without a lot of work to the out of the box css.

Hello Craig,

Indeed the MVC tabstrip does not support overlapping tabs. This is the main reason why the Forrest skin looks different between the MVC and the ASP.NET Ajax tabstrip.
