Infragistics over the years has positioned itself as a leader in the development of the presentation layer technologies. By creating high quality, reusable presentation layer tools for Windows Forms, ASP.NET, Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Tablet PC, and Java Environments, they are able to provide their customers with the ability to accelerate the development process by reducing development time.
The NetAdvantage For WPF is compatible with Visual Studio 2008 and CLR 3/0/3.5. It works with Microsoft Windows XP and Vista. Infragistics products are subscription-based, which gives you updates and upgrades for the period of the license, usually one year. So when you see the terminology "2008, Volume 1", this means it is the first release for this version of the product for that year. The license is also developer-based which means that the developer can install it on more than one machine, but they are the only one who has the right to use the license.
First off, what is WPF? It is a graphical subsystem in the .NET Framework 3.0 and is directly related to XAML. It provides a programming model for building applications and provides a clear separation between the user interface and the business logic. A WPF application can be deployed as a desktop app or hosted in a Web browser.
Now what is NetAdvantage For WPF? It is a toolkit for creating WPF applications. It contains an extensive set of controls and components that have been designed to provide you with the ability to create modern user interfaces for your applications. It will give you the ability to create cinematic graphics, rich styling, animation, and integrated UI virtualizations.
While it is beyond the scope of this review to go through each and every feature, I will try to provide some highlights to what is new with this product. You can check out the Infragistics site to explore a more complete list of controls and components.
