ASP.NET Core Components - HTML5/JavaScript VS ASP.NET MVC

[Naga]

Telerik Team,

 

We are working on the ASP.NET Core web application development and planning to use Kendo UI ASP.NET Core Components. Currently I am evaluating the ASP.NET Core Components for usage in our application. While going thru the demos, I have observed that the ASP.NET Core Components comes in two versions: ASP.NET MVC and HTML/JavaScript. After looking at the demos, I understand that the HTML/JavaScript version involves writing lot of HTML/JavaScript code, where was the ASP.NET MVC version code is compact. I would like to know what are the pros and cons of one over the other. Please provide any document or URL which gives the differences between these two versions and which one will be the better option to use in ASP.NET Core web application. Thanks in advance.

 

Regards,

Naga

Hi Rumen,

 

Thanks a lot for providing the links. They helped me to understand the differences between two versions. After going thru the links, I understand that the HTML5/JavaScript version involves client-side scripting (JavaScript) where as the ASP.NET MVC version allows us to integrate the .NET code with the widgets. I would like to know your recommendation whether to use the HTML5/JavaScript or ASP.NET MVC version for ASP.NET Core web application. We will have most of the business logic written in C# in the application.

Hello Naga,

If your project will be developed mainly in C# and you have stronger server-side skills than you can choose the server-side Kendo UI wrappers for ASP.NET Core, e.g. Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core.

Hi Rumen,

 

Thanks again. Are the Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core components the HTML5 compliant? As per my understanding, the HTML5/JavaScript version involves writing more JavaScript code compared to the ASP.NET Core components. Is it true? Which version is faster for applications development? Are there any added advantages of using the HTML5/JavaScript components over the ASP.NET Core version?

Hello Naga,

Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core and Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC are server wrappers of Kendo UI. These ASP.NET wrappers offer HTML5 rendering out-of-the-box, powered by Kendo UI http://www.telerik.com/aspnet-core-ui#50-jquery-based-ui-widgets-with-asp.net-core-server-wrappers.

You can find a list of pros and cons of the wrappers versus the widgets here.
