Introducing Ext.NET 2.2

The official Ext.NET Pro 2.2 release, integrating Ext JS 4.2 is now available.

Please feel free to download directly from the Ext.NET download page, or using NuGet.

We also created a couple of videos demonstrating how to install Ext.NET into a WebForms project using NuGet. The same basic process applies to installing Ext.NET.MVC into an ASP.NET MVC project.


Ext.NET One on One

What is ONEONONE?

A new service offering is now included with all new Five Pack and Twenty Pack Premium Support Subscription purchases.

One on One is a flexible block of Ext.NET related consulting time to be spent as you see fit. The consulting time will be provided by Ext.NET staff on the core Development and/or Technical Support teams.


SignalR with Ext.NET

SignalR promises a great evolution of real-time interactivity in web applications. It is also something that can be used with Ext.NET.

In this post we briefly look at what SignalR is and how it works. We then look at how Ext.NET can be used with SignalR by modifying a stock ticker example provided by the SignalR project. Lastly we look at some remaining things to be aware of if looking into using SignalR right now.


Introduction to Ext.NET Events

Listeners, DirectEvents, DirectMethods and MessageBus

Understanding the differences between Ext.NET event types and when to choose a certain type is an important concept to learn. Your project requirements will help determine which event type to use given a particular scenario.

In this series of four articles on the subject we will discuss client side and server side events, how they are triggered, how to handle each, and potential use cases for each.

This first post will investigate usage of client side Listeners.


Ext.NET 2 Now Available

ext.net2

After over more than year and a half of development, the official Ext.NET 2 release is now available for download.

Ext.NET 2 integrates the Sencha ExtJS 4 library making it even easier for ASP.NET developers, both Web Forms and MVC (more on that below), to build the next generation of HTML5 enabled web applications.


New Book: Ext.NET Web Application Development

The book Ext.NET Web Application Development has just recently been published by Packt Publishing.

A guide to building Rich Internet Applications with Ext.NET using ASP.NET Web Forms and ASP.NET MVC

The technical editors were the entire Ext.NET team (@Daniil, @Vladimir & @geoffrey.mcgill) so it could not get any better! As a result, this book will have many tips and techniques not yet mentioned elsewhere.

As far as we are aware, this is the first book on Ext.NET, so it was an honour to be asked to write it.



Echo. X-ray. Tango.

We are happy to announce the launch of the new Ext.NET website and download of the new Ext.NET Version 1.0 release candidate.

With the v1.0 release, we’ve integrated the latest Sencha Ext JS release, added 40 new controls, and have now broken the 100+ control mark (plus dozens of plugins). Never before have ASP.NET developers had access to such a powerful and cohesive suite of web controls for building rich ajax enabled web applications.
