Built-in controls

DotVVM ships with about 25 built-in controls that cover most frequent scenarios. Some of them are just wrappers for standard HTML elements (inputs and various form elements), some offer complex functionalities (rendering tables with data).

The built-in controls are universal and do not include any styles or themes. They render simple HTML that can be easily styled by CSS.
