There are lots of controls packed with .NET which we can use
in building our ASP.NET website. At times we will have requirements where we
should build our own components or use a third party component. The one I am
going to discuss in this article is a Rating system developed by Imar
Spaanjaars and it is free to use. Thanks to Imar!
Rating systems can be used to rate an item based on the
users' opinion about the item. The item can be a commercial product on a
shopping site, an article on a tutorial site, etc. where the other users judge
the item's value based on the others' view. We can build a simple rating system
using a RadioButton control that is packed with .NET. But still, the usability
and manifestation will not be that pleasing. The Rating control developed by
Imar fulfills all our expectation and shines as one of the best in terms of the
flexibility it has given to a developer and also in terms of the usage by an
end user. Get the source code from the reference section of this article and
use it.
