Courtesy of component maker Infragistics, NetAdvantage for .NET 2009 Volume 2: Web Client has arrived. Several new ASP.NET toolsets are included in the offering, and as something of a bonus, Silverlight controls are part of the package, too.
Silverlight’s starting to become more and more common online - Microsoft’s baking it into Bing and all other sorts of stuff - so the juxtaposition of it and ASP.NET tends to elevate the web application framework. Think of it as relevance by association.
As for the ASP.NET details, Infragistics stated in a press release, “The new WebHierarchicalDataGrid leverages the power of ASP.NET to deliver the best user experience available in any ASP.NET hierarchical grid. With high performance and flexibility, the new data grid is perfect for line of business applications scenarios featuring multiple child band, pay to play model, animations, load on demand and much more.”
Also, according to the company, “WebEditors, WebMonthCalendar, and WebDataPicker new controls as well as the enhanced controls in this release provide extraordinarily sophisticated functionality as demanded by the application. Each control includes advanced capabilities such as CSS support and one setting global styling.”
It looks like NetAdvantage for .NET will cost around $1,200, or $1,700 for people who prefer to receive priority support.
