Recently, I came across a set of Internet Explorer Web Controls from Microsoft. These look to me to be older controls from the pre-standards era of Microsoft's asp.net development. I'm curious as to whether or not these controls work well with modern browsers, or if they're basically IE only. I know it says it will render to "downlevel" browser, but it seems to indicate that "any browser other than IE" is a downlevel browser.

Are there a modern set of controls from MS?

I wouldn't recommend using these - they aren't supported by Microsoft anymore and all the samples are on GotDotNet, which has been shutdown.

You'd have better luck developing with a more recent version of the .NET Framework.

THe four control provided (MultiPage, TabStrip, Toolbar, and TreeView) could be done using something like JQuery UI.

  • There are any number of ways to make things look pretty on the client. JQuery UI doesn't create server controls. – Erik Funkenbusch Aug 29 '10 at 01:01
  • However, your answer got me to thinking that you could certainly encapsulate jquery ui in server side controls. This lead me to find DJ JQuery which does just that. Very nice. – Erik Funkenbusch Aug 29 '10 at 01:15

TreeView doesn't work properly in Chrome.

(the tree displays fine, but expand/collapse actions don't work)
