ASP.NET Rating Control

WebRating™ provides a lightweight, ASP.NET AJAX rating control for your collaborative, socially oriented Web 2.0 applications where you need to collect feedback from your users on products, services and other points of interest. Users assign a qualitative rating (e.g., how much they favor a particular sports team winning a tournament) that can be averaged with the ratings of other users, so you can harvest crowd opinion to separate the wisdom of the crowd from the background noise.

Key Features at a Glance

• Custom Appearance – WebRating can display stars (e.g., five-star ratings) or other custom images you supply (e.g., that restaurant rated 3.5 sterling silver place-settings out of 4).
• Average and Total Vote – WebRating can store and display the current user’s average rating, as well as their vote count, and can synchronously or asynchronously postback if you need to persist these values on the back-end.
• Precision Ratings – WebRating can allow users to vote with whole-precision (whole stars only), half-precision (whole- and half-star ratings are okay) and exact precision (depending on mouse position when the vote is registered, any fractional value is allowed).
• Continuous Selection – WebRating selects the rating value your user last clicked on, and styles their selection with color filling up to that value.
• Editor Provider – WebRating works well as an editor provider within WebDataGrid™ so you can incorporate user ratings in your grid data.
• HTML 5 Support – WebRating renders in HTML 5 today, within any browsers which support this emerging W3C standard. If the user's browser doesn't support HTML 5, it can fallback gracefully.
