I tried using DevExpress controls in one of my projects for my smart and elegant interface. When I use regular html or asp controls, one of my pages is about 400K client side. Using devexpress makes this page about 1.2 MB in size, which is almost 4 times the previous version, and I used only 3 round panels and date editing.
This project was intended for use in my country, where the speed of people browsing is usually 8-16 Kbps (kilograms of BIT per second, of course :(). Therefore, using devexpress on this page makes it really difficult for users to download this page.
I heard that using jquery you can create a user interface that is almost the same as DevExpress Controls, but it will generate much less client code.
Is it possible? If so, which jQuery plugin should I use?
