Coolite Studio: Ext Web Controls for ASP.Net
February 18, 2008 by ReyBango
With Microsoft’s .Net development platform increasing in both popularity and features, we’re receiving more inquiries than ever as to how clients can leverage the Ext framework within .Net web applications. While Ext, being a client-side framework, has always worked with ASP.Net applications, the team at Coolite has taken Ext & .Net integration a step further.
Introducing Coolite Studio
Coolite, the same team that brought you the very cool DateJS date parsing library, have really embraced the Ext framework creating a suite of ASP.Net controls name Coolite Studio that are based on Ext and integrate with Visual Studio 2008:
“The suite of web controls were built with a focus on bringing full Visual Studio Design-Time support to the Ext JavaScript Framework. A marriage of server-side and client-side frameworks.”
Tight Integration, Extensive Features, Support
The suite of controls will include the following:
- Powerful integration of the Ext JavaScript Framework.
- Full Design-Time support in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 & 2008 and Visual Web Developer 2005 & 2008.
- Drag-and-drop ease of use.
- Current support for Window, Panel and a many Form Controls including DatePicker, Calendar and HtmlEditor.
- New Controls being added weekly.
- Dual Licensed (LGPL 3.0 and Coolite Commercial License).
- Professional support options available shortly.
Coolite has setup a community forum to help get developers introduced to Coolite Studio and plans to expand their support options in the future.
Coolite Studio is immediately available for download and supports both .Net 2.0 and 3.5.

This is great!
There’s one thing though: Ext JS needs a patch to get the ViewPort to work with ASP.NET forms. Last time I tried it moved elements and the ASP.NET postback model stops working. Ext JS should step up here and release a small fix or config option if possible.
Thanks!

@Mike - Thanks for the feedback. We have a fix for the ViewPost/postback issue and with some luck the control will be available before the end of Feb-2008.

I took a brief look at the site, how might a .NET developer with 4+ years .NET experience and 8+ years programming experience, that over-uses patterns like chain-of-command and believes strongly in Test-Driven Development help out with this project?
