A project template is great because it creates the core pieces for a full working web application. This allows you to get up and running in minutes.
Last year, we created a responsive project template for our classic ASP.NET web controls. We learned from your excellent feedback that you want more responsive templates for our other web controls too.
Good news, a new responsive project template is now available for our DevExtreme-based ASP.NET Core controls!
The new template is part of the upcoming v19.1 release and you can skip to the end if you're ready to download it. But first, take a look at the template's powerful features.
Visual Studio
This new project template is only for Visual Studio users. You'll find it in the Visual Studio "File → New" dialog. If you're using the new Visual Studio 2019 wizard then you can search for our new template by typing 'DevExtreme':
Responsive
The template makes use of several DevExtreme ASP.NET Core Controls.
We used our existing DevExtreme Angular Template as a foundation because it provides great responsive features.
The navigation layout uses our Drawer component and supports multiple responsive breakpoints. Thus, your apps will look and behave great on any screen:
Now let's take a look at the template's other great features.
Best Practices
We built this project template with the latest technologies and best practices. That's why our new project template is:
- Built on top of the mainstream ASP.NET Core 2.1 with support for Razor Pages.
- Built using our excellent DevExtreme ASP.NET Core Controls.
- Provides a pre-configured
bundleconfig.jsonfile so the scripts and styles are automatically bundled and minified. - Fully compatible with our helpful design-time Web API and Razor scaffolding wizards.
- Thanks to the new DevExtreme Color Swatches feature, the template is styled with a custom dual-color Material UI theme:
Rest assured, if Microsoft releases an ASP.NET Core update then we'll keep pace and update our project template as well.
Test It Now (and provide feedback)
Test-drive the project template on your local machine. If you're a current DXperience customer then download the v19.1 release from the Client Center.
Then let us know your experience with the new project template.
