When will NA be ready for Visual Studio 2008?

Vulgrin, I know what you mean when you say "...BUT, that doesn't mean that it shouldn't have been by now, or that I want to be the ones doing the Q.A. for them." I've been trying to use various releases of the Infragistics controls with VS2008 since Beta 2. There are many, many design time issues that become painfully appearent right from the start of using Infragistics controls with VS2008. It seems to me that these issues should have been caught the Q.A. dept. a long, long time ago. While I have seen slight improvements with the 2007 vol 3 release and VS2008 RTM I certainly would not call Infragistics controls compatible with VS2008; far from it in fact. I too am very disappointed at how Infragistics has dropped the ball on the VS2008 RTM release. I sincerely hope they can bring a fully compatible release of their controls to market very quickly. -Thad http://forums.infragistics.com/forums/p/679/12769.aspx#12769
Vulgrin,

Lets hope it is covered within current subscribers for upgrade. Also let me join the voices of other subscribers of this marvellous suite... please, please, with cherry on top release the 2008 supported version when you can :-)
I think a committed delivery day will go a long way to restoring the confidence of your subscriber base here, so we can at least do some planning. :-)
Thanks in advance, and keep up the great work.
I guess I have been lucky so far. I have been creating a new project in 2008 and using the 2007 V3 controls in it and haven't run into any problems that I couldn't deal with such as changes being made to a WebGrid not being saved when closing out of quick design mode. Which controls have you had the most trouble with so I'll know what to avoid?
Also, if you wouldn't mind drop me an email to zjones at arinc dot com after you've done your review of the other control tool sets. I would be interested to know what you end up going with. I'll be honest and say I have been reading more about DevExpress suite of tools. I am a HUGE fan of CodeRush and Refactor! Pro.
I agree that, if you have a bunch of established projects, then upgrading all the time would be an issue. But in my case I have a client that is having us build a new version of an application, and we're using the latest technology release of the .NET platform, including VS.Net because we don't want to START from behind and have to upgrade later.
I also completely agree that I want it to be thoroughly tested - BUT, that doesn't meant that it shouldn't have been by now, or that I want to be the ones doing the Q.A. for them. Let's be clear, these are not little bugs that happen only in very special circumstances. The ones I've run into are the equivalent of having to turn the car off and back on while driving 55 on the highway every half-hour or so.
But, no matter, we're looking at other control suites now. To each their own.
