Hi All,

Does anybody know what kind of problem I may be facing by using some .NET controls from DBI?

I am interested in using some controls from the Component Toolbox from http://www.dbi-tech.com/product_Page_Component_Toolbox_NET.asp

Question like would I be able handle features like translation in those DBI controls?

Thanks!

Honestly we have not used DBI since the VFP days with their Component Toolbox and their ActiveX controls.  We have spent more time with Infragistics, DevExpress, Telerik, etc.  However, I would not think that you would have any issues with their .NET controls since they will more than likely support native .NET binding which would allow you to wrap a BO in a BusinessBindingSource (BBS) and then bind it to their control.  You are the first person that has mentioned the DBI controls so I do not have any first hand experience with them as of yet in .NET.

Hi Trent,

Thanks for the info.  I have used DBI ActiveX controls in all my VFP applications for a long time, and upgrading to the .NET controls from them is a good deal.

I basically like to use the ExplorerBar which I have used in VFP in activex version.  I was a bit worry about how to synch the themes in a SF application with controls not based on SF classes.  I will take the chance to upgrade and then post my experience here.
