Visual WebGui ASP.NET Control Wrapper tutorials

I would like to share the new How To tutorials published on VisualWebGui.com showing how to use 3rd party asp.net controls within Visual WebGui projects. The articles demonstrate and walk through the wrapping process of a few common controls created by companies like Infragistics, ComponentOne and Telerik into Visual WebGui which allows you to leverage those controls.

Visual WebGui allows simple & fast development & deployment of Web/Cloud applications while providing full flexibility & extensibility of other ASP.NET components.

How To Wrap ASP.NET Controls (Walkthrough) – ComponentOne C1Calendar
How To Wrap ASP.NET Controls (Walkthrough) – Infragistics UltraWebGrid

Additionally, Visual WebGui allowed focusing on usability since the Visual WebGui themes took care of the rest.

Prior to upgrading the site to Visual WebGui the user experience was lacking, including repeating unnecessary page refreshes. "With VWG I was able to create a fully ajax’ed site quickly without worrying about the typical issues," founder John Ruf.
