Hi everyone,
Is there any information about using Infragistics along with the Mono platform (www.mono-project.com)? I've done some testing and the winforms controls work to some extent, but not all of them. Since we're planning on building a cross platform product, this aspect is of a big concern to my company.
Thanks in advance, -David
As I know, the developers of Mono not recommend to use Windows.Forms. How about to realize Infragistics widgets based on Gtk#?This is of course more complicated than simply "convert" current WinForms controls.It would be great to have a widget similar to the functional Infragistics WinForms controls and with the same set of properties and methodsI think we're not the only organization that is interested in this and willing to buy such a decision. The problem is that at the moment there is no competition in the segment Mono widgets. Gtk-standard widgets are terrible and there are no alternatives at all.
I think money talks, so can we seriously start a fund for Infragistics to spend a quarter and convert this to Mono.
I will head start a fund with $2000. Who else is willing to donate at least $500 and up to $2000?
Drop me your email so when Infragistics is going to be ready, Ill email you

I agree with what setuno said.It is that complex to rebuild WinForms Infragistics DLLs in MOMO?
Seriously... I know there is all this hype about iPhone / Android.
How many clients did you have who already use Windows Form that would want to migrate to Mac? I for one would be willing to pay extra for a Windows Form that supports Mono, and I would even be willing to support a fund raiser for it, that is how much we need it.
Versus how many clients did you have who were using anything from you for iOS or even interested in using you for iOS? Our company is not one of those clients. I bet between all of your Windows Form customers you would make more money from supporting Mono than you would from supporting iOS.
You release a new set of components to target a new market, while leaving your loyal clients in the dust to rot using a Windows Form component that can't be migrated over to Mac. If you do nothing, we will still be stuck for now until a competitor comes around.
Very very unfortunate! I hope you change your mind.
That's a huge shame. You would be opening your apps to a much bigger audience on Mac and Linux than you would on smart phones IMHO.
I would like to see the Ribbon, and basic editors done for starters (combos, labels, groups, tabs etc)
Pleeeeeeeease.... :-)
