Hello,
I'm a long time Infragistics user, but new to the jQuery controls. I see lots of examples in html/javascript and lots of examples using MVC. We're trying to decide on an architecture for a large project so I want to pick a specific paradigm going forward. Can you give some reasons why I should choose one over the other, or what benefits/drawbacks each has?
Thanks.

MVC is awesome pattern. ASP.NET MVC run on server side and it's almost independ from client side. The View in MVC, which contain HTML, JavaScript and CSS code is depended from the type of clients. Our controls are cross browser (support various browsers) and mobile clients, so you don't have to worry about that. And new ASP.NET MVC 4 support mobile clients out of the box.

Thanks for the info. I like using MVC and would tend to lead towards that type of architecture, but I was more interested in whether using ASP.NET MVC has any drawbacks to the types of clients I could support (e.g. mobile clients, various browsers, etc).
You can also refer to the following article that compares MVC and the standard ASP.net Web Form:
http://weblogs.asp.net/shijuvarghese/archive/2008/07/09/asp-net-mvc-vs-asp-net-web-form.aspx
And these talking points of MVC here:

Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.

Thanks for using our controls.
Infragistics jQuery controls are builded on the top of jQuery and jQuery UI. There are MVC wrappers (or helpers), which wrap the Infragistics jQuery controls options, methods and events . If you use ASP.NET MVC, you can plug this "wrappers" in your project and write in .NET style (e.g. use VS Intellisense). The MVC wrappers render JavaScript code.
If you build ASP.NET MVC project, you should use these wrappers.
