NetAdvantage for .NET, NetAdvantage for ASP.NET, NetAdvantage for Windows Forms Recognized for Excellence with 2008 Readers' Choice Award from Visual Studio Magazine

Princeton, N.J. & Elstree, United Kingdom — August 1, 2008 — Infragistics, the world leader in presentation layer development tools, today announced that three of its component toolsets have been honored with a Readers' Choice Award from Visual Studio Magazine. NetAdvantage for .NET won the Component Suites for .NET (Desktop and Web) category, NetAdvantage for ASP.NET led the UI Components (Web Forms) category and NetAdvantage for Windows Forms ranked number one in the UI Components (Desktop) category. The 2008 winners, which will appear in an upcoming issue, are chosen by Visual Studio Magazine's readers and honor excellent software products in 22 categories.

"These awards are especially noteworthy because it is the people who use these products day in and day out, the developers in the trenches, who select the products they consider the best in their respective categories," said editor in chief Patrick Meader. "We respect the work of all the vendors who help make the Visual Studio third-party marketplace so robust and dynamic. Their efforts save countless hours and untold amounts of money for professional developers everywhere."

"It is an honor that our industry peers and customers deemed these Infragistics products worthy of Readers Choice Awards," said Dean Guida, president and CEO of Infragistics. "Through continued product enhancements that bring greater functionalities and capabilities to our component toolsets, we empower developers to build modern application UIs that deliver rich user experiences across multiple platforms."

Visual Studio Magazine presented awards in three categories:

• Readers Choice Awards, given to products that received the most readers' votes
• Readers Choice Merit Awards, given to products receiving a high number of votes that also show real value to Visual Studio Magazine readers
• Editors Choice Award, given to products that show special merit or innovation, but don't fit comfortably into the standard categories

The awards are based on the responses of 539 Visual Studio Magazine subscribers. An email invitation was sent to 23,000 randomly selected subscribers and responses were collected from April 28 - May 2, 2008. The ballot, which was compiled by the editors of Visual Studio Magazine, included more than 400 products.
