Why one consolidated toolset?
Consolidating on a single presentation layer toolset allows you to create consistent user interfaces across all enterprise applications - Windows Forms, ASP.NET, and Tablet PC.
Standardizing on the Infragistics NetAdvantage toolset will reduce your R&D cost, maintenance costs and end user training costs.
Development teams will experience greater leveraged learning from one project to the next when your enterprise has a strategy in place as part of its application development lifecycle for developing the presentation layer.
Today's professional developer must meet the demands of producing Windows Forms and ASP.NET applications with the latest Microsoft looks and feels. In NetAdvantage 2006, Infragistics offers a full range of best-of-breed presentation layer elements for Windows Forms, ASP.NET, and Tablet PC in one package. Since the NetAdvantage toolset natively works with Visual Studio 2005, 2003, and 2002, purchasing NetAdvantage with Subscription provides an excellent path to move your existing applications to Visual Studio 2005 while protecting your current investment in the .NET Framework.
The value of including Source Code in the NetAdvantage Subscription and Enterprise Editions
Including Source code was something Infragistics' customers asked for, and felt would add great value to the NetAdvantage offering. It gives developers three major benefits. First, by owning the source code they can insure the integrity of their projects. Second, it's a wonderful debugging asset. And third, they can learn a great deal about writing and structuring .NET code by looking at the source code. Also, Infragistics has some of the world's best architects and developers, and their code and structure should be a great learning tool to developers moving into the object-oriented world of .NET.
A comprehensive framework solution, not just a collection of components
Infragistics NetAdvantage 2006 is a true framework, not just a collection of disparate controls. Infragistics labored hard before writing a line of code to devise a mature architecture based on shared assemblies and common object models. This creates what we refer to as leveraged learning, meaning the effort to learn the first of our interface elements lets you learn the rest much easier. It also makes it easier to create standardized interfaces for your applications and even create your own elements by extending and inheriting visual elements from our Presentation Layer Framework. It's a primary reason for corporations to standardize all their development teams on NetAdvantage 2006.
