Api
Hello,
Two years ago, when I was using Ext.NET mvc I was struggling with bad documentation and poor api. By poor api I mean some methods didnt work at all or I couldnt find good example how to make them to work. Time passed and now Iam thinking again about using again ext.net in mvc views hoping that something changed in API. I have done few simple tests and results arent good.
There is a still problem with documentation and poor api. For example I downloaded latest ext.net by nuget open up example website called ExtNet/Index.cshtml. Tried to set tooltip to button, so I used property SetToolTip which have 2 overloads one with string, next with QTipCfg. Used both but they seem not to work. I went for web to find answers and yes I found that everybody uses method called ToolTip to set tooltip, this one actualy works. I though why give programmer a method that dosent work? I thought maybe I missed something? Somethng important in documentation? I went for http://docs.ext.net/. Both methods SetToolTip and ToolTip does the same, but only the 2nd one works.
I have more examples like that, my question is that: Is it me who uses ext.net in wrong way, misses some clue points in docs or is it library under mvc ?
Regards,
Jakub
