Using Infragistics in iOS development
posted

Hi I've never before used your products, but I always wanted to do so,I'm currently a .NET developer (web, desktop & Silverlight). I'm going to work in iOS also. I've been searching some 3rd party components for iOS development and your products are attracting me because of their nice view & highly customizable structure. I'm going to create business intelligence applications (dashboards) containing charts/gauges and data grids, and I think your products worth the money spent, but I have a question regarding my development approach. As you know, iOS development can be done both natively (using objective-C in Mac) or using cross-platform tools (PhoneGAP or  Xamarain for instance). Which approach is supported by your tools? Can I develop using HTML/JS/CSS (PhoneGAP) and still use your controls? Or anyone wishing to use your controls should develop only in native mode?

Also I want to know how much can I customize your controls? Do you give any CSS/skin like style (something like Telerik) or you provide another mechanism.

Best regards

    Please check out the free Sample Browser in the Apple App Store  

    We don't have a css approach to styling, instead we have created a protocol/interface that provides all the necessary hooks on a per control basis. You can take a look at our Theming samples in the samples browser, mentioned above, to get a better idea. Also if you have specific styling concerns, don’t hesitate to ask.  

    Summary:   Native developing on a MAC and using either Objective-C or C# programming languages is required.  

    Let me know if you have any questions regarding this matter.  Thanks again!
