Infragistics vs DevExpress - opinions please
-
All, I am looking to buy a component suite, mainly to get a good data grid. Performance is a must. It looks like Infragistics and DevExpress are the most popular ones. Any opinions on which one to choose? Thanks in advance, Roel
My honest opinion...stay away from both, especially if all you need is a data grid control. The Infragistics controls have an excellent visual look to them and are very customizable using themes, but the programming model is awkward at best and not very well documented. DevExpress controls, on the other hand, are a much better programming model and better documented, but have subtle visual problems. If all you need is a data grid, check out SandGrid[^] from Divelements. I have used several of the Divelements controls and find that they are very easy to program to, have a very clean look, and are pretty well documented.

You should really download the evaluation editions and try them out yourself. This is the only way to find out which one best meets your needs.
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

I keep reading here and there that Infragistics controls, especially the grid, do not perform well. Anybody has any experience with or comments on that? Roel
Perform well in what sense? Most of the data grid controls have performance issues as the size of the underlying data increases. To help these problems, they all have some sort of "virtual" mode where only the data that is being displayed is loaded, and each load pulls in smaller "chunks" of the data.

You should also look at Syncfusion component suite:)
