Welcome to Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core
Thank you for choosing Progress® Telerik® UI for ASP.NET Core!
UI for ASP.NET Core is a set of server-side wrappers (HTML and Tag helpers) that allow you to use the Kendo UI widgets in .NET Core. From a client-side point of view, the vanilla HTML/JavaScript Kendo UI widgets and their ASP.NET Core helpers represent the same functionalities and provide the same capabilities.
The Telerik UI ASP.NET Core HTML and Tag helpers:
- Allow you to configure a Kendo UI widget through the C# or VB.NET code—for example, to set its value, data source, and so on.
- Render the HTML and JavaScript that are needed to initialize a Kendo UI widget whose options propagate to the client-side through its initialization script.
Widgets vs. Helpers
The Kendo UI widgets:
- Allow for a complete server-platform independence.
- Provide full control over the placement of the initialization scripts.
- Support the integration with the MVVM, AngularJS, and Single-Page Application development patterns.
- Support Visual Studio IntelliSense for the client-side API.
The UI for ASP.NET Core helpers:
- Allow you to create widgets with no HTML and JavaScript coding.
- Provide for server-side data binding and, in some cases, server-side rendering.
- Allow you to use the
ToDataSourceResult()extension method for binding Kendo UI widgets to server-side collections and for performing data operations (paging, sorting, filtering, and grouping). - Provide integration with some ASP.NET Core features such as security trimming and editor templates.
- Support unobtrusive validation based on Data Annotation attributes.
- Enable a simple implementation of CRUD operations.
- Support Visual Studio IntelliSense for the server-side configuration syntax.
- Enable Visual Studio Extensions for automatic creation of new Telerik UI ASP.NET Core applications and for automatic updating of the Telerik UI version.
- Enable you to use scaffolding to generate widget declarations and related controller action methods.
