Hello Infragistics Team,im looking for a new data-access framework (e.g. Entity Framework or NHibernate) for my .Net applications. Do you know any framework which works fine with Infragistics 13.2?Or are there any (performance) tests or experiences you can provide especially for frameworks which are supported by Infragistics?Thanks for your help.
Hello linksaussen,
Thank you for contacting Infragistics!
Currently, we are not tied with any particular data-access framework, as long as our controls are bound to the data type they support. For example, our igGrid support IQuerayable using MVC wrapper. And on the clientside, it may be bound to JSON data or any service which generates JSON data.
If you have any questions, please let me know as well.
Hello Vivian,
Thank you for your information.
Do you have any suggestion for me which data-access framework i should use?
Or do you have any positive experience with a specific framework?
Hello,
You should evaluate what data-access framework meets your specific needs. It isn't possible to know what the best framework for you will be when we don't know what platform you are using or what needs you have within the application.
Let us know if you have any questions with this matter.
Hello Alan,
we develop win forms applications connected to an oracle database. We use C# with framework version 4.0.
Our develop enviroment is visual studio 2013.
At the moment we have no specific or special needs within the application.
For the WinGrid, the data source needs to Implement IList to display data and if you need the grid to be able to respond to updates the data source should implement IBindingList. Any data-access framework should work if it meets this requirement.
thank you for your help.
That's the answer i was looking for.
