PowerWEB LiveControls for ASP.NET - Features

The PowerWEB LiveControls for ASP.NET is a suite of 21 Web Controls that have the capability to trigger server-side ASP.NET events without posting back the whole page. They mimic many standard Microsoft controls and execute code-behind just like any control. In the code-behind events, user can manipulate other LiveControls, standard controls, or return any data back to the client, all without a refresh or disruption to the user experience.

Features include:

• Single development license with royalty-free distribution.
• The ability to raise server-side callbacks, which appear as familiar events, without reloading the page.
• ViewState management is optimized to increase performance while reducing bandwidth and providing maximum flexibility in your application design
• Superior Windows-like effects without writing Java applets, Flash, or JavaScript. 100% DHTML is generated by the controls, with no plug-in or ActiveX control required.
• From within a callback, the ability to manipulate most page elements and update them on the client without reloading the page.
• Higher-performance applications because round-trip data and rendering is minimized.
• Compatible with all released versions of the .NET Framework (1.0, 1.1, 2.0).
• Compatible with Visual Studio .NET 2002, 2003 and 2005.
• Compatible with IE 5.0+, IE 5 Mac, Mozilla 1.3+ (FireFox, Netscape 6+), Mozilla 1.3+ Mac (FireFox, Netscape 6+), Galeon, Konqueror and Opera 5+.
• Graceful degradation to standard ASP.NET postbacks in non-supported browsers.
• Simplification of code maintenance made possible by eliminating the need for JavaScript debugging.
• A single-file DLL that provides all included Web Controls and scripting resources.
• LiveGrid, LiveListBox, and LiveDropDownList controls that automatically update the client when DataBind() is used on the server.
• A LiveTimer control that polls the server at any time interval (great for showing a progress bar).
• A LiveSound control that can play an audio file by calling the Play() method from server-side.
• A LiveMessageBox control to display alert, confirm, or response MessageBoxes from server-side callbacks.
• A LiveTextBox control to raise server-side callbacks, even capturing keystrokes as they occur.
• A LiveButton control to raise a server-side Click event from which you can update most controls without a refresh.
• A LiveCallback control to hook client events to server-side callbacks.
• Controls that operate in a blocking or non-blocking manner on the client.
• Additional mouse, key, and click events raised as server-side callbacks.
