I would like to voice my opinion for an ASP.NET Scheduling Component based on the requested feedback from the following post:
http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/thread/b311D-tbdhb.aspx
We are currently researching components for use in a custom developed company internal scheduling tool that will be used by multiple business units. Based on this we have come up with the feedback listed below.
Key Requirements
Scenarios
NOTE: Since we are currently evaluating other controls we do have any real world experience with these, but here are some initial thoughts after looking at the following.
Other Controls
- WebPlanner by TMSSoftware
- Lacks AJAX support (beta with ajax available 4/2007)
- Have focused attention on being lightweight.
- WebSchedule by Infragistics
- Extensible data provider model.
- Runs with enableviewstate='false'.
- Lacks drag and drop across days in a week or month view.
- WebSchedule by ComponentOne
- Lacks drag and drop
- Not sure it supports displaying multiple resource schedules at one time.
Please let me know if you would like additional information from me.
