This is the understatement of the year. Just now I was investigating a problem I've been having. Here is the "example" in supplied in the "local help" for the RenderHtmlAtIndex method:
"For example, if Contol will write "hello" at (index==0) and return "first", Control will write "privet" at (index==1) and return "second" Control will return null at (index==2), then the doResponse on client will have following array of strings: ["first","hello","second","privet"]"
... What? Infragistics, please, at least proofread your stuff. This isn't even a sentence, and has a number of spelling and grammar errors. This stuff is hard enough to understand without having to decypher poor English.
Anytime you find a documentation problem in the WinForms API's please use the e-mail link at the bottom of every page and send the issue to our documentation team. They will see that the problem is resolved.
<[Infragistics] Tim Hitchings > wrote in message news:17516@forums.infragistics.com...I've forwarded on your issue with the RenderHtmlAtIndex method to the documentation team for correction. Anytime you find something like this you can click the e-mail link at the bottom of the topic and the topic subject will be captured and you can add your comments.It's unfortunate that the triple slash comments in the API's will contain a large number of poorly written material by our developers for some time. They are great developers but sometimes make mistakes when writing material other than code.Fortunately, we've finally been able to hire an additional person in our documentation department whose sole responsibility will be to review and rewrite the ASP.NET API's. As you can imagine this is a large and daunting task. So, while I can understand how valuable your time is, anytime you come across a problem in the docs, your help in bringing it to our attention will assist us to resolve the most glaring errors as quickly as possible.
