Infragistics NetAdvantage 2004 is a quality product. I have had no problems using the controls in a Managed C++ application. The controls are powerful and flexible enough for the requirements of my project. The documentation is adequate but could be better. Most controls are easy enough to get started with; without much learning curve. Its Toolbar Manager control is one of the best implementation of the MS Office 2003 toolbar UI. I like its Appearance object and its embeddable editors architecture.

Truly the best. I've been a Infragistics customer for almost 2 years now. I am 100% satisfied and continue to look forward to the new controls and features to come. My only complaint is that the help file is designed to be like Microsoft's VS.NET help file (which I find to be a complete waste as it doesn't offer any real useful information unless you dig deep through its vague and bulky content), but their examples and source are great! Their knowledgebase is top of the line, and their support team is just as good as Microsofts. They make developing much easier and I feel it's definitely worth the buy.

Well I hated to give them a three, but I find it necessary. The controls are awesome. The scheduling components were my primary reason for purchase and they're great. The grid is great, even the editor controls are a step above the .net stock controls. so why the 3 stars? Documentation, or the lack thereof. Everything you see on the Infragistics site (help files and the incomplete "full anual" that's available to demo clients) is all that is available to even those that purchase the product (which I did, assuming there would be more for the retail customer). I even bought the subscription, because it sounded like a good idea. I guess my biggest problem with the controls was the lack of info on the UltraCalendarInfo object, which seems to be central to the entire scheduling component. But the help file is short and vague. No tutorial and barely any sample code. There is a serious need for a full and complete manual on the suite. I won't renew my subscription when it expires. And in hindsight I wish that i would have done a tad more research and possibly purchased the Janus controls. Their documentation is great and you can Print the schedule as you see it, as well as set up scheduling for multi users - both of which are lacking in Infragistics. So If you wanna throw almost $500 into a great grid, then this is the product for you. Otherwise you might want to look elsewhere until Infragistics figures out how to document their products.

This product is absolutely excellent! Thanks :)

Pretty incredible deal for .NET developers. You get the web forms controls as well as the windows controls. The web grid does expand/collapse and group by almost as seamlessly as the windows grid. One word of caution regarding the web grid control - if you enable view state on any dataset that has more than a few rows the view state will be HUGE. This causes sluggish response whenever you do a postback (group-by operation, etc.). So I turned off view state and had much quicker response getting the data from the database on every postback. However you will loose the ability to do some things such as group-by if you disable view state.
