Introduction
CHAN is a lightweight ASP.Net Control and Utility library for the construction of IIS hosted web sites.
Its primary focii are:
- Giving the developer back the control that WYSIWYG tools took away: tight control over HTML, CSS and Javascript.
- Retaining ASP.Net-like features, including code-behind, tag-based controls, namespacing and postback processing.
Chan currently runs on .Net 2.0 and in order to build a Chan site (with codebehind) you will need the Microsoft .Net 2.0 SDK. Chan is currently untested against .Net 3.0/3.5 and the newer 3.5/2008 SDK. Chan may also be compatible with Mono, or be retoolable as such, but whilst this is a desirable goal it is not a primary focus of the project for the time being.
