Atlas Control Toolkit released

Please install the latest version of Atlas mozl CTP: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx first? Familyid = B01DC501-B3C1-4EC0-93F0-7DAC68D2F787 & displaylang = en

Then download and install Atlas Control Toolkit: http://download.microsoft.com/download/ B /8/1/B8176A86-5D85-41B8-819B-19A9ACF1CE8C/AtlasControlToolkit.exe

This is the home page of the control package, there are demo of these controls, installation instructions and so on: http://atlas.asp.net/atlastoolkit/

The toolkit consists of the following three parts:

1. A control package contains many Atlas server side controls and corresponding Source code To extend existing ASP. NET controls and generate powerful client functions. These controls are not only a good resource for learning and development, but also can be immediately used in the development of existing websites, without the need to write any client Code . It includes the following controls: Note: The following controls are updated in the "Atlas" Control Toolkit Update Release (version 1.0.60504.0), and the evaluation on execution efficiency is inaccurate.
   1. Cascading dropdown: You need to use updatepanel to update the cascade dropdownlist.
   2. Collapsible panel: Client-side foldable panel.
   3. Confirm button: Click the button to bring up the confirmation dialog box.
   4. Drag panel: A detachable panel.
   5. Hover menu: Supports suspended menus. For example, move the cursor over a row in the gridview and the floating menu of edit and delete is displayed. It requires the help of updatepanel, which is extremely inefficient.
   6. Popup Control: When an event occurs, a control is displayed on the page. It can be used for development such as Date Picker. Using updatepanel is also inefficient.
   7. Reorder list: A list that can be re-ordered by dragging on the client. It requires the help of updatepanel, which is extremely inefficient. The client pauses and flashes seriously.
   8. Textbox watermark: When you click a label, the label is switched to textbox for users to enter information. The visual effect is great. You must use updatepanel.
   9. Toggle button: Replace the checkbox with a pair of images, which has rich visual effects. However, because updatepanel is required, the efficiency is not very high and there is a significant delay.
3. A Web site that contains the installation instructions and the demo of the preceding controls. The content is the same as the main page content of the Toolkit mentioned above.
5. A project template of Visual Studio 2005 is used to develop custom Atlas server side controls.

Note that all the controls provided above are server-side controls. Basically, you do not need to write client JavaScript code and Atlas script. Therefore, it is much less difficult to use. Like the traditional ASP. NET Server-side controls, you only need to drag them to the page and set properties. At the same time, it brings about the performance overhead of the server side and the increased development difficulty. At the same time, most of the above controls need to be assisted by updatepanel, unnecessary server communication also greatly affects the user experience of the client. Whether it is correct or not. Please make your own judgment. The above section is my personal opinion and is for your reference only.
