With winforms 23.1, I have a .Net 8.0 project. The contrls add to the toolbox but are grayed out. What might I be doing wrong?ThanksAbbott
Hello Abbott,
The reason why this issue occurs is that for .NET Core we do not provide our controls via the DLLs, instead they are provided by NuGet packages.
In order for the Infragistics Windows Forms controls to show in the toolbox and to be able to use and interact with them in the designer when using a .NET 8 project, you need to first include the NuGet package for the particular control(s) you are trying to use, as our support for .NET Core is done through NuGet. For more information on setting up the Infragistics NuGet feed and which controls exist under which packages, I would recommend taking a look at the following documentation:
NuGet Feeds: https://ko.infragistics.com/help/winforms/nuget-feeds
NuGet Packages: https://ko.infragistics.com/help/winforms/nuget-packages
Once the controls are added through the NuGet they will appear in the toolbox and would be able to interact in the form designer.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks. That worked, except I don't see the linear guage.
To use the linear gauge you would need to install the following package:
Infragistics.WinForms.Gauges
Please let me know if you need any further assistance.
I did a full winfforms install and added all the nuget packages.Here's what I can seeStuff.zip
The reason you are not able to find the Linear Gauge as a standalone control that you can place in your form is that we have two chart controls the UltraChart and the UltraDataChart. UltraChart which is the old control and almost retired that has its different chart types as separated controls in the toolbox and the ultraDataChart which is a new control and comparatively more efficient. We have dlls available for both the controls but for the NuGet we have packages for only the UltraDataChart.
Please note that there is no direct conversion between the UltraChart and the UltraDataChart. Their APIs are completely different, for more information regarding the UltraChart please visit the following documentation page: https://ko.infragistics.com/help/winforms/datachart-datachart
