Advice from fellow Csla developers : )

[Chicagoan2016]

We have an ASP.NET webforms application that needs some modal forms.
What third party controls fellow developers here recommend?
We have looked at Telerik and DevExpress and it appears that for this particular purpose DevExpress is 'better'.

Kind Regards

I know folks from both orgs, and afaik they are both good orgs with good people working for them, so I'd suggest going with the one that provides the best feature match and price point.

Thank you @rockfordlhotka, It looks like the price is the same : ).

I haven't used Telerk, nor have I used DX's asp.net controls, but we do use their wpf, winforms & maui controls, and I find them to be very good.

[Chicagoan2016]

Thanks. If I understand correctly you have used DX controls for WPF, Winforms etc.?

Yes, we use DX's controls for other UI technologies

I've used Telerik for the past decade across all platforms (Desktop, Blazor, Web and Reporting) and have found their controls to be excellent and reliable. Their customer support is also outstanding, with support tickets being responded to typically within a day. Works great with CSLA.

Thank you @Greg90277.
Our web forms application has some modal forms. In the past we have thrown some javascript there.
We were wondering if there is slightly better way of doing it using third party controls. I asked Telerik folks and looks like they have their 'version' of ajax update panel or they recommend sticking with good old javascript.

Haven't hear from DevExpress yet.

I have always used the Window component – here’s the Ajax controls version (although you probably already saw this): https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/window/examples/modalpopup/defaultcs.aspx Hope it helps!
