Overview
Mercury-UI™ for ASP.NET
A collection of .NET Assembly DLLs and tools that assist you in creating sophisticated web user-interfaces, with a strong emphasis on fluid (resizable) layouts, browser compatibility, site performance and programmability.
Now with ASP.NET 1.x, 2.0 and 3.5 support.
Navigation and Layout
Always the foundation of a good client experience. Mercury-UI includes the following advanced controls to help meet your application design goals:
ASP.NET Development Features
Each control has flexible programming options:
Program the objects in any available .NET language, stand-alone or with the included tools. Navigation controls can load & save state using XML and our own binary state format. Persist state in a file or a memory stream. Navigation controls can fire ASP.NET Postback server events. Layout controls can automatically persist their dynamic UI changes via ASP.NET Postback architecture. Navigation controls can cache their DHTML on the client. Navigation controls can be cached on the server.
ASP.NET 2.0 Features
Support for ASP.NET 2.0 adds the following:
ASP.NET 2.0 Theme support. ASP.NET 2.0 Site Navigation support. ASP.NET 2.0 Callback support (PanelSet).
Cross-Browser Support
Browsers are automatically detected and DHTML is rendered accordingly. See individual control details for more on cross-browser support.
Client-side and Server-side
Mercury-UI for ASP.NET navigation controls include the option to use either client-side and/or server-side technologies, so you can make the best design decision for your project.
If a project is best suited for client-side development, then use the included Studio design-time applications for creating and compiling .js files.
If a project is best suited for server-side programming, then use the included run-time .NET Assembly DLL.
Studio Apps
Each navigation component includes a Studio application that functions as either a stand-alone or VS.NET integrated design program that can be used to visually prototype the object, save state files, or even compile a control's DHTML into external .js files that can be used on any web server or HTML project.
The Studio programs can also assist by generating server-side ASP.NET code that can be pasted into your page.
Tremendous Value
No other solution provides this much versatility in one package. What's more, Mercury-UI uses developer-based licensing which includes royalty-free distribution of the .NET Assembly DLLs.
Each developer who owns a license can re-use Mercury-UI again and again, without any additional costs!
