DevExpress ASP.NET Web Forms Controls are a collection of server‑side UI components designed specifically for ASP.NET Web Forms applications. They extend the Web Forms programming model with advanced data presentation, data entry, navigation, and reporting capabilities. The controls rely on the ASP.NET postback and event‑driven lifecycle, enabling developers to build feature‑rich web interfaces while keeping most UI logic on the server side.
