I am window form guy and now have to deploy some web application. I am still consifering either choose mvc or webforms. I am not very familar wit html/css/ajax staff. SOmehow i heard mvc is a "new way to go" but i am a bit worry about time to learn all this stuff and just go with standard webforms to use my controls which are available inside toolbox also with devexpress controls. I am wonder if mvc doesnt have controls drag-drop available how to handle such things like grid to populate from database and other staff? How mvc developers handling with it without controls? Can you advice me a bit? I hear something that ajax could provide me with controls.

ASP.NET is more natural for a Windows-Forms developer because it's controls-based – Yair Nevet May 24 '15 at 17:24
