Infragistics silverlight control's design support & reusability into wpf
posted

Hi,

    Could you confirm the following at the earliest pls. I need to finalize the evaluation of your controls.

1. Designer Support/Design time support, is it provided to both Visual Studio and ExpressionBlend. In case of Visual Studio, in which version it is allowed. As far Designer support in Visual studio, the expected behaviour is to atleast drag and drop the control into XAML and get prop window and edit the properties. Please explain

2. Can we use Silverlight control provided by you into WPF application, and consume its events and methods?

regards,
SatishJ

    Hi Satish,

    About design support IG SL components have the same behavior like MS SL components.

    In VS 2008 SL designer is collapsed. It is possible to expand it and only look at the application layout with controls inside it without interactive editing. It is also possible to drag controls from toolbox to editor in XAML view to add it in application layout.

    In MS Expression Blend design support for IG SL controls is a very good.

    Kind Regards!

    Hi Satish,

    To your questions:

    1. Yes, our controls support the basic Designers capabilities:
    -Drag and drop from the Visual Studio toolbox - note that in VS2008 there is no properties editor
    -Dragn and drop from the Asset Library in Blend and setting properties from the corresponding Property Group

    2. We have separate set of WPF controls, you can't use the Silverlight ones

     

    Hope that helps,
