NetAdvantage ASP.Net vs Ignite UI
posted

I see that almost everything is same between NetAdvantage for ASP.Net and Ignite UI, then why should I use Ignite UI? Basically, I am looking for comparision between Ignite UI and Ingragistics or Netadvantage for ASP.Net.

    Hello HHH,

    I'm not aware of such comparison whitepaper, so I'll try to summarize my thoughts on the subject.

    NetAdvantage for ASP.NET product is tightly coupled with Microsoft ASP.NET technology. This means that you can use it only if you're building ASP.NET projects.

    Ignite UI is pure client side solution written in JavaScript. You can use it in combination with every server side technology. We provide integration with ASP.NET MVC technology out of the box via Ignite UI MVC Wrappers(Helpers).

    Here are the pros and cons of both technologies:

     

    NetAdvantage for ASP.NET Pros

    -Visual Designer

    -Server Side Events

    -Visual Studio Integration

    -Rapid Development

    NetAdvantage for ASP.NET Cons

    -Available only for ASP.NET projects

    -It cannot be used without server-side technology

     

    Ignite UI Pros

    -Pure Client-Side technology (It can be used without server side technology)

    -Can be used in combination with wide variety of server side technologies

    -HTML 5 compliant

    -Uses Ajax for server side communication

    -Supports ASP.NET MVC

    Ignite UI Cons

    -No Visual Designer support

    -Requires JavaScript knowledge
