AsyncControls - Features

AsyncControls™ Suite - The Syntax of Web 2.0™

Features

AsyncControls Suite requires NO javascript knowledge. This allows you to develop in an environment free from javascript pains, but still take full advantage of the speed and abilities of AsyncControls.
AsyncControls JS framework footprint is ultra-small, approx. 15 KB (total download size of all the JS files is only 27 KB).
Search Engine friendly, AsyncControls will recognize the web crawler as a browser with no javascript support and fallback to normal server controls. SEO safe.
Bring the speed of instant callbacks to your web application with minimal code changes, and over 30 AsyncControls to help you.
Validation is smarter than ever. AsyncValidators use a technique called strict validation to restrict validation to only controls within the same container (ex. Same user control or panel)
Intelligent client side JS was designed to post only the necessary form fields back to the server.
AsyncControls deploy as fast as standard ASP.NET controls.
AsyncControls allows you to easily pinpoint code conflicts. No changes in the way you debug your code; its buisness as usual.
All the abilities of regular ASP.NET controls plus more.
Built with speed in mind, we optimize intial page load not just AsyncCallbacks. For example, we use a JS include system that only has pages include the JS that they need, not just everything all the time.
Everything you expect from premiere ASP controls, but a whole lot more.
Enhanced for low bandwidth environments. AsyncControls produce instant callbacks, which allow server responses to be as fast as the action that invoked it.
Standard ASP.NET controls have several limitations with repeaters. Example, radio buttons not supported, very difficult to manipulate header/footer controls from code behind, no built-in support for DHTML effect. AsyncControls address these issues and more.
AsyncControls provide automatic fallback abilities for select control types.
Support for major browsers across multiple platforms.
Easily transition regular ASP.NET websites within seconds rather than days.
AsyncControls don't mask ASP.NET postbacks like the others. Most other frameworks use AJAX to send the same bandwidth hogging viewstate and hidden fields. We totally eliminate them; enabling peak client and server side performance.
AsyncControls were designed to leverage the original ASP.NET control methodologies, while providing significant enhancements.
Page viewstates are nearly eliminated, which means less bandwidth and increased performance.
Page loading and callbacks have been fully optimized.
AsyncRepeaters provide you with built-in sorting, paging and DHTML effects.
DOM events have been implemented for their respective controls. Events include mouse out/over, key up/down, etc.
