Q: 

Open Source ASP.NET Controls Library

We are looking for a ASP.NET Rich Controls Library. We don't have much budget to spend. We are looking for a decent choice which give a rich feeling to our application, works and reliable.

What are the best available options on ASP.NET Controls Library which are free and has good support online?

Thanks.

Have you looked at the ASP.NET Ajax control toolkit yet?

@Robert yes but we are looking for more rich controls like telerik

I believe he meant more of a control set similar to Telerik's or DevExpress's premium lines.
Chris Marisic  2010-03-02 21:00:33
They do not exist AFAIK. Telerik is the gold standard, IMO.
Robert Harvey  2010-03-02 21:01:24
I found some good rich controls which are cheap ... visualwebgui.com and obout.com. visualwebgui is open source.
Ramiz Uddin  2010-03-02 21:03:55
@Ramiz: Visual Webgui is something different. It is the Gizmox platform that attempts to emulate winforms and VB6 in a web browser. Not the same thing at all.

If you want to redistribute the controls in an application, the license for `obout` is $700+. You might as well go with Telerik.
Robert Harvey  2010-03-02 21:14:35
This is the simplest definition of Visual WebGUI. Thanks @Robert.

A: 

You can find a boatload of controls here that are open source:

http://sourceforge.net/

Hard to just give you a library wihtout knowing your requirements.

I'm glad you didn't say google.com :)
Ramiz Uddin  2010-03-02 21:04:49
Could you please be more specific? It is a huge site where should I locate them?
