Hi All;



I'm trying to finalize my tools before starting the app. The App. will be partly Windows and partly ASP.Net sharing data.



I like to get some thoughts and experiences from SF team and those how have chosen one v.s. the other and why?



a) SF comes with a limited number of Windows components that are nicely tied with SF framework and also takes advantage of SF theme system. This helps building a uniform application, but the components are limited, especially when it comes to the ASP.Net part (I mean for grid and new Web gadgets that IG offer).



b) Infragistics (IG), offer a very nice and complete components, with a powerful "Application Stylist" design for Windows and web. This gives you a wide range of designs, BUT you loose the SF themes (like the navigation tool bar, application header and etc.) and also we loose some of the SF integrations that are already in SF components.



Due to my lack of experience (being new to SF and IG), I really would like from those who have gone through this road to share their suggestions.



Thank you in advance!

Hey Ben,

Just kidding. Welcome to the SF/Infragistics family! Like Paul and now yourself I have also had to find the optimal development (some of them very expensive) solutions utilizing SF.

It would be nice to have 3^rd party thread to share experiences.

Hi Michael;



Thanks! I posted this thread to get some feedback from those who use IG with SF. Trent was kind enough to share his. I like to know how the IG ASP.net components work with SF, especially the components that are AJAX enabled and they are data aware.



If you could please your experience with IG, I greatly appreciate it!

Paul,

What can I say; he has been off of his medications this spring.  I will let you know when he renews his meds. On second thought I have noticed that the controls were much more colorful last fall.  

Who said, "Doctor Shopping?" 

 

 

Speaking of Trent, where is he? On Vacation again...?



Can't wait to meet up with you guys!

Lol

I'm sure Trent always gives the best advise possible and that things do change over time (like dosage's) 

It really is very very confusing trying to figure out first of all if you should use a 3rd party product and second of all which one to use etc. As Ben pointed he was reading conflicting information from the same source and seemed confused. Trust me I was trying to help not start trouble  

P

Sorry, did I hear that Trent has left to work at Infragistics and Steve is on medication because of that now?

LOL
