Our goal is to reduce the time that it takes you to build professional applications, while increasing the overall quality and functionality that those applications provide.  Our controls are thoughtfully architected, rigorously developed and tested, and fully supported.  Our architecture allow us to provide a very similar API whether you’re doing Windows Forms, Web applications or Tablet PC development, to allow you to reuse your knowledge and expertise as you move between environments.

Developer Needs

Our controls give you out-of-the-box Office look, feel, and functionality, while allowing you to fully customize all aspects of the controls behavior and appearance.  Developers recognize the value of robust, tested, and supported controls which they can simply drop into their application to achieve a significant productivity enhancement.  But today the developer is faced with additional challenges—specifically, how to cope with rapid changes in technology. Today’s developer often must continue to work on COM projects while also developing in Windows Forms and ASP.NET, and preparing for Visual Studio 2005.  NetAdvantage provides a singular, complete toolset to build on; a complete framework to simplify and facilitate the move from one environment to the next.

In the end, the developer must continue to provide the user with interfaces that are familiar and intuitive to use. In practical terms, this means providing users with the latest look and feel of Microsoft applications. Infragistics is committed to keeping in step with your needs and NetAdvantage is designed to let you easily replicate the look and functionality of the most recent versions of Microsoft applications in every detail. Today, you can provide Office 2000, XP, 2003, XP themes, Microsoft CRM, Exchange 2003, Tablet PC applications (ink-enabled input) and much more!

Architected for Tomorrow

The Infragistics NetAdvantage toolset was architected from the ground up to let you deliver tomorrow's requirements with the technology of today. We take full advantage of the power of the Microsoft .NET Framework in designing our tools.  Our Windows Forms and ASP.NET controls are written completely in CLI compliant C#.  And, we maintain unprecedented stability, consistency, and fine grained programmability. Our object models let you address every level of the object hierarchy. Our rich event models let you code to the precise user action, and keyboard, mouse, and selection strategies can be customized to your specific needs.

Leveraged Learning

Because all our controls are built on our patented Presentation Layer Framework, there is a single intuitive learning curve for developers that carries over from Windows Forms to Web development. You’ll find a consistent development experience that will lead to a consistent user interface and end-user experience. With RAD designers and great property sheets, you can take control of the look and feel with very little coding required. The consistency of our object models is so great that once you’ve learned one control, you have acquired 60% of the knowledge needed to use any control.

More than Just Products

Developers certainly need great tools, but we provide more than just code. We provide high quality on-line help, reference implementations, a knowledge base, personalized support portal, use case samples, and full technical support.  With Infragistics, your questions get answered.
For the most demanding development scenarios, our Subscription & Priority Support, and Subscription editions include all C# source code for our Windows Forms and ASP.NET tools and designers. Access to the source code lets you drill into our controls, and dissect our architecture. Whether you use it to ensure the integrity of your project, as a learning tool, or as a base to make custom changes, our C# source code completes the NetAdvantage offering.

Section 508 Compliance

On August 7, 1998, the President signed into law the Workforce Investment Act of 1998. Subsection 508 requires that when federal departments and agencies develop, procure, maintain, or use Electronic and Information Technology (EIT), they ensure that the EIT allows federal employees and members of the public with disabilities to have access to and use of information and data.

If you are currently developing applications for a United States Federal agency, Infragistics makes it easy to comply with application accessibility requirements;  our Section 508 Compliant controls include:

  • WebMenu
  • WebTree
  • WebGrid
  • WebChart
  • WinExplorerBar
  • WinGrid
  • WinTab, TabStrip, TabbedMDIManager 
  • WinToolBars
  • WinEditors
  • WinTree
  • WinForms - Button & Label
  • WinSchedule

We’re committed to Section 508 compliance, and with each new release, we add compliance to more controls.

Putting a Face on Your Applications

It is estimated that 25% - 40% of all development is presentation layer development. It is the "face" of your applications, and often how users judge your work. Our goal is to streamline this aspect of development, allowing you to build professional looking applications in a fraction of the time. Incorporate our grids, charts, schedules, calendars, toolbars, Explorer/Outlook bars, trees, menus, tabs, editors, and more into all of your .NET application development. We can help you deliver your presentation layer development on time, on budget, and with exactly the look and feel your users expect.
