hi,

(we are an C# ASP.NET shop)

 

We spent a week or so looking into using the standard Box API with our C# ASP.NET application and concluded that it was to difficult to work with.

 

Will the new BOX Elements tool easily integrate with C# ASP.NET applications ... or are we spinning our wheels again?

    Box Elements will eventually encompass a few specific things under its brand umbrella.

     

    What launched today were specifically JavaScript (React) based UI Elements aka components. So they are mostly designed for using on the client side and not server for building UI. And being client centric, you can use it with any backend language/framework, since all it needs is a token to work. Rest is HTML/JS/CSS. Your ASP.NET application will spit out an HTML page, which can include script/link tags to the UI Element libraries https://developer.box.com/docs/box-ui-elements.

     

    Next thing thats on the roadmap will be a reference app, likely to be called Box App Element(s). It will be using node.js and our node SDK (https://github.com/box/box-node-sdk). On the client it will still leverage the Box UI Elements.

    perfect and thanks for the detailed reply ... that puts my Q to rest. With Box being an enterprise focused company ... please don't underestimate how pervasive .NET is within the Fortune 500 community and leave out .NET support & examples. Thanks and I'll give Elements a spin.

    ... looking forward to Relay!
