We are planning to purchase third part contr开发者_运维知识库ols for Asp.net and WPF both. we short list Infragistics, Telerik, devexpress. But now have to decide that which one to purchase from these three.

I Google about the disadvantages or week points of these controls but I want some solid reason to select one or reject others.

I want to know the users experience about these controls, which could be helpful for me to take decision.

thanks

I have used (and owned subscriptions to) all three. These days I tend to use DevExpress for Winforms apps and Telerik for ASP.NET, and that is a result of which company had the controls I needed back when I started the projects. Once you have a large app in production you tend to stick with the suite you used. My experience with Infragistics was back in the VB6 days.

My advice would be to get the free trials and then base your decision on these things:

• a) does the suite offer the controls you need?
• b) how amenable to your style do you find the public interfaces of their controls?
• c) how well is the suite documented?
• d) how easy is it to find answers/info on the company's website / online knowledge base / community forum
• e) how active are the community forums, and what is the predominant type of activity there? you want to find people discussing solutions, not workarounds

Overall, I have liked the Telerik customer experience best.

Working in one of these companies :), I can recommend that you try our controls. Only your own experience will tell you which Suite meets your requirements better. If you run into troubles when using our controls, you are always welcome to post your questions to the support center. We will do our best to help you.
