NetAdvantage WebClient – Silverlight

xamWebRibbon - NEW Office 2007 and Windows 7 Scenic Ribbon - Ribbon for Line of Business Silverlight applications allows you to deliver Aero (Windows 7 Scenic) style of ribbon to users of your Silverlight RIAs. Supports such ribbon amenities as:

• Tabs
• Groups collection within each Tab, with variants that mediate resizing behavior in relation to other groups
• Tools collection within each Group (Button, Checkbox, Menu, Segmented Menu, Segmented State Menu, and Radio Button are some of the tools included)
• Tool panels to orient tools horizontally or vertically
• Contextual Tabs, you can toggle their appearance (when appropriate to the user’s action) through a convenient IsVisible property
• Galleries, filled with Gallery items for which you can control the grouping, alignment, placement and selection display mode
• Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) to provide shortcut access to tools
• Application Menu
• Key Tips

xamWebGrid – Enhanced

• Unbound Column: Unlike existing columns, the unbound column doesn’t require being bound to a property of your underlying ItemsSource and this gives you considerable flexibility in what gets displayed.  For example, you can add features like calculated columns to your Silverlight data grid by setting a ValueConverter that converts arbitrary mash-ups of your other properties into the value you want to display in the unbound column.
• Template Column Layout:  Create custom data templates to define a custom layout of the rows in the grid, for instance instead of having the cells layout horizontally across a row you can create a detailed data view in which labels and cells are positioned anyway you want.
• Microsoft Excel-style Filter Menu:  When your data grid has more data than is necessary for its immediate task, your users can use the new Excel-style filtering menu from the column header(s) to reduce how much data that they are looking at.  The following filter conditions are supported:
• Text Filters:  Equals, Not Equals, Starts With, Does Not Start With, Contains, Does Not Contain, Ends With, Does Not End With
• Numeric Filters:  Equals, Not Equals, Greater  Than, Greater Than or Equals, Less Than, Less Than or Equals DateTime Filters:  Equals, Not Equals, Greater Than, Greater Than or Equals, Less Than, Less Than or Equals  Custom Filters
• Conditional Formatting Engine:  New Excel style formatting engine provides you with a variety of rules-based mechanism for applying custom formatting to cells based on their value (for example, when a value is in a certain range or above a critical threshold), so that your users can more easily visualize values, locate important data, identify exceptions and spot trends.  Offers functionality as two color gradient rules, data bar rules and much more.

xamWebComboEditor - NEW!

• New combo box editor in xamWebEditors lets you bind to a flat list of items and have users either enter values into the editable field (these values can be new values not in the list, or constrained to only those values in the list) or select them from a dropdown list.
• Auto-Complete expedites your users on their way to the selection they want with fewer keystrokes.
• Custom Items Filter allows you to alter the default Starts-With filtering condition used by the AllowFiltering behavior (which is on by default) to use another filter such as Contains.
• Can be used in read-only fashion, restricting a user’s selections to only those in the bound list of items when its IsEditable = False.
• Multi-Select capability when AllowMultipleSelection = True lets users make multiple choices from the bound list of items by displaying independently-selectable checkboxes next to each item.
• Custom item display lets you show complex items that may aggregate several underlying values, for example, a university course registration system in which both the course ID, course name, and section ID (for different days and times) are shown which allows you to disambiguate similar courses your user might select.
• Superior performance and the ability to list large numbers of items are achieved by its built-in virtualization.

Control Persistence Framework – NEW!

• Persist and restore control settings to an external source such as a file, database or isolated storage, to save user settings such as column widths and positions in xamWebGrid, the selected group in xamWebOutlookBar, or the position of xamWebDialogWindow.
• You can also persist and restore control settings from Microsoft, third-party, and custom controls.

ZIP Library – NEW!

• Compress and decompress .ZIP files from your Silverlight applications using fully-featured implementations of the DeflateStream class found in the .NET Framework, plus an additional Stream for the ZLib compression algorithm.

Virtual Collection – NEW!

• Simulate collections of very large sizes without having to load every data element.
• Virtual collection component lets you define an anticipated collection size, and all consumers of the collection will perceive it to have this many data elements in it.
• Virtual collection component provides you with buffering, notifying you that blocks of data are being accessed to give you the opportunity to request them from their actual data source (for example, a WCF service), which may occur asynchronously.

UI Automation Support – NEW!

• Support for Microsoft UI Automation (UIA) helps the Silverlight Line of Business UI controls interact with Assistive Technology for accessibility by individuals with disabilities.
• Since UI Automation allows an application or the operating system to access, identify and manipulate an application’s UIElements, then can be used for automated testing.

Infragistics NetAdvantage for Web Client is a true framework, not just a collection of disparate controls. Infragistics labored hard before writing a line of code to devise a mature architecture based on shared assemblies and common object models. This creates what Infragistics refer to as leveraged learning, meaning the effort to learn the first of the interface elements lets you learn the rest much easier. It also makes it easier to create standardized interfaces for your applications and even create your own elements by extending and inheriting visual elements from Infragistics Presentation Layer Framework. Its a primary reason for corporations to standardize all their development teams on NetAdvantage.

Infragistics NetAdvantage for Web Client includes the full ASP.NET source code.

Priority Support: One years worth of priority phone and guaranteed response web-based technical support.

Subscription Service - This service is a convenient way to ensure customers are always using the latest versions of Infragistics components. Subscription Service entitles Program members to automatically receive all major upgrades (full version releases), new products included in the covered Suite, and minor updates (enhancements and service patches) for the period of one year. Because the development team is committed to keeping in step with new technology, the Subscription Service is the best way to ensure your applications are compatible with even the most recent changes in technology.
