Part of: The RAM Review

XtraBars Suite not only gives you the ability to create traditional toolbar menus but you can use it to create the Microsoft Office 2007 Ribbon Style menu as well. Along with that, you also get the ability to create windows that can be docked, tabbed MDI interfaces, and pop-up menus like you have in Visual Studio. You can even create alert windows like you have in office to let you know you have mail.

XtraLayout Control brings you a forms design feature set that is intended to bring consistency to an otherwise mundane task; that of arranging controls on a form correctly with regard to positioning of labels and form resolution. There is even runtime layout customization ability so that your end-users can reorder controls via drag and drop.

XtraGauges Suite ships with over 150 built-in presets and is made to be easy to use.

There is the ability for auto-arrangement where the container will determine the best possible configuration.

XtraNavBar provides you the controls to create more stunning interfaces, simplify navigation, and incorporate some of the newest look and feel in to your projects. With this control you will have everything you need to mimic the look and feel of Microsoft Office, Visual Studio.net all the way to Windows XP without having to write a lot of code.

XtraPivotGrid Suite will give you all the tools you need for data mining and multi-dimensional analysis. Now you can have full feature pivot table capabilities of a Microsoft Excel product without having to go out of process to get your results. This means that Microsoft Analysis Services (OLAP) data sources are fully supported right within your application.
