Will Infragistics NetAdvantage ASP.NET classic controls support IE9 during the beta? This is going to be an important update to IE9 and I need to make sure our apps are ready when it's released, not afterwards.
Cheers, Rob.
Hi, Any updates on this from Infragistics?
Thanks
Deathly silence is always worrying. However, I'm going to be optimistic today and assume that's because nobody from Infragistics has already read the post.
I tried my website with the beta version of IE9 and lots of it didn't work. I'm using the classic ASP.NET controls but 2009 Vol 1. Have been putting off upgrading to latest version on the assumption that if it's working , don't fix it ;-)
IE 9 support plans announced...

It does look like IE9 will have an IE8 compatability mode like before:

But it will still be a real shame if NetAdvantage based websites cannot take advantage of the increased compatability and faster JavaScript engine just because Infragistics can't be bothered or, worse, don't have the technical skills or resources to make it compatible.
One of the selling points for using 3rd party controls is that you should not have to be concerned with continually releasing and re-factoring one's web sites.
If this is the case, then they should have stopped selling the classic controls months ago. They run the risk of upsetting a lot of new customers.
To be honest, I think this might be the final straw re: my use of NetAdvantage. It's just been too bumpy a ride over the years and I haven't got time to re-work some of my older sites with the new controls.
Lack of complete Chrome support is also starting to annoy as Chrome take up is increasing every day. IMO it's beyond an "also ran" browser especially as JavaScript is just so speedy.
That soon! Come on Infragisitics... we need a definitive answer to this? If the answer is "No" then you owe it to your loyal customers.
Does IE9 have an IE8 compatability option that would dampen the problem until we can find another control vendor?
Is there any update on this issue? Are the classic controls going to be supported on IE9? The buzz is that it will be released as early as 2/10/11.
