Is there a way to use DevExpress UI components in Web Forms that were generated using GeneXus programming language?
It possible... .
But I never try, the way to integrate any external WebComponent it's complicated, also depend on several questions:
Which Gx Version do you use?
What component/form do you want use?
Tell me a little more, please.
Thanks,

I need to design a website customization interface with drag & drop features list, and would like to build it using the meteor js framework and I'm new to this. Any suggestions or recommendations?
Thanks
You can definitely do this sort of thing in Meteor. Another good starting point:

Does anyone know of a well-supported ASP.NET wrapper for jquery (much like the way Coolite works for ExtJS)? I have a lot of ASP.NET web forms experience and really don't like writing javascript. I've found working with raw jquery in the web forms model to be difficult (especially when dealing with animations and handling postbacks).
If not, I'll probably just dedicate myself to Coolite!
jQuery already ships with ASP.Net MVC these days. Have you looked into that? Not sure that it "wraps" the jQuery API per se vs. being used under the hood (I'm not sure, I don't use it).
I am looking at integrating DevExpress to a webapp Im doing in asp.net C#.
Finding it difficult to get a good article or book on how to begin. any where to find these?
Here's a list of thing I used to get familiar with DX controlls:
As Aseem Gautam's answer web casts gives good overall prospective
To get more detailed picture you can look through few sample apps
DX documentation, knowledge base
And finally you could ask for assistance the DevXpress support team
you can find some demonstration here :

Professional DevExpress ASP.NET Controls by Wrox
http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/WroxTitle/Professional-DevExpress-ASP-NET-Controls.productCd-0470500832.html
Best is to watch the online webcasts.

View the online videos at the Developer Express site.
I would recommend the devexpress site as the best source. They even have online demos that will help a lot.
I want to make my website look spiffy. Should I use jQuery, or what is better suited to be paired with ASP.net?
jQuery works very well with .NET.
I would highly recommend jQuery UI.

JQuery compliments .NET quite nicely. Here is a good blog article that should get you started.
I've can say this with confidence - you can use jQuery with .NET with no issues. I do this all the time.
Absolutely. I don't know that it will necessarily make it spiffy as you asked, but it'll certainly ease your programming work.
AJAX will help with the "spiffiness".
You want really spiffy? Look at Silverlight!
Yes, you can definitely use JQuery for ASP.NET apps. Check out an introductory article on how to get started - Getting Started with JQuery
jQuery works as well with ASP.NET as with any other server platform, because it's just a set of client-side scripts. When you consider its daily usage (such as assigning Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat to jQuery calendar) the final code won't look as short and elegant as advertised. The server controls of ASP.NET AJAX have their own bonuses. In short: if you use ASP.NET and not going to change the platform try standard ASP.NET AJAX facility (possibly with AJAX Control Toolkit). Otherwise starting with jQuery can be much better investment.
I have very basic knowledge of Javascript and now I am looking forward to learn Ext JS and implement in in my ASP.NET application.
If anyone can guide me on how to start and which book I should follow, I'd be thankful.
Nor sure if it is the quickest approach, but all I did (as well as another developer that was working with me) was review the ExtJS documentation and samples gallery (and viewing their source).
One big issue to watch out for when using ExtJS with ASP.NET is that when using BorderLayout you will go crazy trying to figure out why Postbacks no longer work. There is a workaround though.
Another ASP.NET gotcha is that if you use ExtJS to talk with ASP.NET web services (or WCF) you have to do some special things to get it to work (adorn your webmethod with special attributes, or add some things to web.config, etc).
Those were the only two gotchas I can recall, other than just learning and getting the hang of ExtJS itself.
