Why does every third party control set rewrite the basics of ASP.Net?
- by Earlz
Of the control sets I've seen for ASP.Net they all exhibit a strange property. They rewrite everything in the ASP.Net control set. For instance both DevExpress and Telerik have their own Panel, Label, and UpdatePanel controls among others.
Why do vendors do this? Is it just to create a form of lock in or is it actually necessary?
