A Toolkit/Component Suite by Infragistics

NetAdvantage for Web Client ASP.NET controls can quickly and easily be assembled into AJAX-enabled Web applications that provide superior responsiveness and that produce a great user experience. Its hierarchical (master-detail) WebGrid is the flagship control for any data presentation, packed as it is with powerful features like sorting, grouping, moving columns, filtering rows and more. You can even create highly-customizable charts and gauges (for dashboards) with a sophisticated 2D/3D rendering engine and programmable scene graph that can crystallize the informational value from voluminous data for your users. Object-oriented class libraries streamline the publishing of polished documents supported by grids, charts and your own content in several ubiquitous file formats such as Adobe PDF, Microsoft XPS and XLS (Excel workbook).

With the latest release of the Aikido Framework, it powers lightweight UI components that are innately AJAX-enabled and employ industry standards like XHTML and CSS for widest browser acceptance. The new best-of-breed Aikido controls include a sliding trackbar or "slider" control, an animated image gallery, collapsible splitter bar and desktop-style dialog window just to name a few. AJAX innovations extend to the innovative WARP (WebAsyncRefreshPanel) container that holds your controls, and imbues them with asynchronous refresh and events triggered by out-of-band callbacks, thereby conserving your network bandwidth and replenishing your user interface without the overhead of a full postback.

Through the Application Styling Framework, you can apply consistent themes of your own creation, or choose from a diverse selection of professionally-designed style sets. Whether it is a specially branded color motif for your Web site that you are trying to match, or the look of popular desktop environments like MacOS (“Aqua”), Windows XP (“Luna”) or Office 2007, the application styling support built into every one of these ASP.NET controls can administer your graphics assets, scale them out across your application, and leverage CSS to create the appearance you want in cross-browser environments.

These ASP.NET controls also conform to the Section 508 requirements in the United States for Web Accessibility by users with disabilities, which are often a requirement for certain U.S. government-related procurements and projects. Their comprehensive Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) is made available online for you to review.

Included with every purchase of NetAdvantage for Web Client is a 12-month subscription that provides you with code-level technical support, C# source code for our controls and designers, regular updates, and multiple feature-packed volume releases each year. Additionally, you are entitled to receive Silverlight 2 Line of Business controls as part of your subscription when released in 2009, opening a new world of rich, relevant and interactive user interfaces to your Web Client applications.
