Was curious what the opinions of experienced users here is on the approach taken on using the Infragistics controls. Do you guys use ALL the Infragistics controls basically replacing the standard ones in the box. Or... use a more selective approach and only the Infragistic controls when the standard MS controls don't provide the features needed?
Originally I was going to use selective controls like the MdiTabbedManager, UltraToolbars etc, and stick to the stock/MS controls for things like Label and Textboxes. But lately, have been wondering if it doesn't make more sense to just use the Infragistics controls across the board for consistency and future features etc.
Any experiences you can share good or bad on your approaches would be greatly appreciated!
In smaller applications my approach is to use Infragistics controls only when they add value. This "value" could be a specific feature or just the need to include the control in application styling.
In mid-size to large projects I use a an approach like Amiram which means that I write my own controls that either derive from an Infragistics or Inbox Control, or hosts several of them.
Hope that helps
I'm using just Infragistics (Except for tree) in Win. In Web, I'm using MS too.
However, I'm always using my CustomControl that inherits from any control. I always add many extensions.
