Maybe I am going crazy, but I have been reading about presets and using the quick design editor on Infragistics controls. I can't find the "Quick Design" option anywhere in VS 2010. Was there something I should have installed separately? I have the ASP.NET components installed and version 2011.2 of Infragistics.
Hello jstarbet,
The WebMonthView has both the "Quick Design" link and the "Choose a Preset" option in its smart tag. I have attached a screenshot of this.
The WebNumericEditor, WebMaskEditor, and WebDataGrid allow you to choose a StyleSetName from the properties window. You can import stylesets, or use one of the styles provided with AppStylist. You can set this from the designer by right-clicking on the control, choosing "Properties", and clicking on the dropdown next to "StyleSetName".
The newer controls, like WebDataGrid, use "stylesets" instead of "presets". I will send this feedback on to the Product Guidance team so that the documentation can be updated.
Let me know if you have further questions.

Below is a snippet from your documentation:
Every visible NetAdvantage ASP.NET element has the ability to have a Preset applied to it. Presets give you a fast, simple way to apply a range of formatting and behavior options across the elements of your interface, and across applications. It is ideal for corporate development environments that need to maintain a consistent look-and-feel among many different developers.
I don't see it on any of the elements that I have checked (e.g. webdatagrid, maskeditor, numericeditor, monthview, etc.) What am I missing?
The "Quick Design" option is not added to Visual Studio itself. Rather, it is available through the "Smart Tag" of some ASP.NET controls. I have attached a screenshot of the Gauge's smart tag, as an example control. You can also choose a preset through the Smart Tag.
