Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC (CTP) extend the ASP.NET MVC framework by delivering a server-based framework that integrates with client-side modules based on popular JavaScript library, jQuery. Built from the ground up on the Microsoft ASP.NET MVC framework, these new UI extensions facilitate development of reusable AJAX scripting components and deliver WebForms-like productivity without sacrificing the patterns, practices, and guidance of ASP.NET MVC.
This first CTP of the Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC lays the foundation for the new UI extension framework and offers an opening look at a number of UI components that leverage and build upon jQueryUI, including Accordion, Slider, Tab, DatePicker, MessageBox and Progress Bar. The jQueryUI wrappers are a preview of what’s possible with the Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC framework, and later this year the Extensions will be enriched with new Telerik components such as Grids, Menus and more.
