What 3rd Party Controls are .Net Developers using [closed]

Answer 1

Whatever you do, do not use ComponentArt....horrible tools, full of bugs, terrible support.

Answer 2

The client I'm working now is also using the SyncFusion Essential Suite. We've mostly used the Excel and Word IO libraries, of which I'm prettuy satisfied. They also provide a number of ASP.NET Ajax controls, among which a very extensive DataGrid. This offers quite a lot of features but unfortunately doesn's perform that well. All in all, the pricing is a little bit cheaper than the Telerik components, that's why the client decided for it in the end.

Answer 3

DevExpress stuff, all the way. A great side-effect of grabbing one of the bigger DevEx subscriptions is that you get CodeRush and Refactor! thrown in, too :D

The DevEx grid, in particular, is second-to-none.

Answer 4

I'm using Xceed's DataGrid and quite a few different components from DevComponents.

Also, Xceed has a phenomenal set of Documentation and Code Samples.

Answer 5

DevExpress gets my vote as well my and my development team have been using the Enterprise package for the past 3 years and it's met our expectations. One thing we love about DevExpress is that they have EXCELLENT support and constantly updating their suite.

Answer 6

I have done only Winforms and have used Infragistics, devexpress and januscontrols so far.

I can suggest you to use devexpress.
Fastest in runtime execution, good community, good online support

Infragistics are very heavy controls, lots of properties, difficult to use
And support forum, knowledgebase and their homepage-member-area are VERY horrible.

januscontrols are lightweight and easy to use, but not so powerful as the others.
runtime execution not so good like devexpress
