I have a long experience of using a whole host of different tools from Telerik and, I have to say, I love them.

But I need an alternative. Why? Well, I want to start an Open Source project. The project will have a number of elements including an MVC frontend. Sadly, Telerik's licencing specifically prohibits the use of their components in Open Source Projects.

I'm going to need a number of components but most notably a Grid. Can anyone suggest a usable and worthwhile component set that I would be able to use in an Open Source project.

Any suggestions accepted.

  1. Jquery UI (https://jqueryui.com/) is good but you should search for good components (thousands of ones can be found!). For example JqGrid for grid : http://jqgrid.com/ and . The main advantage is Jquery based if you are in love with Jquery. Also Visual Studio has it in its default project template.

  2. Sencha ExtJs is great but a little different approach (it is completely JavaScript based and not JQuery based but it is a comprehnsive platform). Its control gallery is fantastic. specially for grid. check this : http://www.sencha.com/products/extjs/examples/

  3. Kendo UI (latest telerik project) : I am not sure about KendoUI license but it think its JavaScript components are open source (although their MVC extensions are not free). check it at : http://www.kendoui.com
