Hi Team,
we are using Infragistics ultra web grid in our ASP.NET Application. We have a plan to migrate to MVC .For the Intial release,We are going to change some pages of our application in MVC patern, so that we are going to use Ignite UI for the MVC grid. I am getting an error while adding Ignite UI dll to my application , Is there possible to use both ultra web grid and Ignite UI in same application?. Please let us know for the possibility will help us to purchase Ignite UI grid.
Thanks in advance
Venkat
Hello Venkat,
I'm not sure I follow what you've done so far. Ignite UI doesn't have the same sort of licensing that the UltraWebGrid had. Would you be able to provide a small project or something that demonstrates the current state of your application?
Hi Jason.
Thanks for your reply.I have migrated my ASP.NET web application by the above mentioned steps only.
In my WEB application, I have used Ultra Web Grid .After migrating into MVC. For Ignite UI , I have added all dlls for Ignite UI and built my application.
I am getting error in License file. While Adding Ignite UI , the ULTRA WEB GRID License file is being replaced by Ignite UI.
So am getting error for Ultra Web Grid that unknown error occurred in "Properties/LC".
How to resolve this issue ?. Please share your thoughts about this.
You will not be able to use Infragistics WebForms and Ignite UI MVC controls in the same page due to the architectural differences between ASP.NET WebForms and ASP.NET MVC. Most notably, MVC does not have a concept of postbacks and view state which the Infragistics ASP.NET WebForms controls rely on heavily. For more information about this, please see the Incompatibility section of the following MSDN article:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd381619(v=vs.100).aspx
You may be able to do some mixing within the project, you'll have to be careful about how you implement the pages and will want to think more about how you are going to serve data to the controls. The following blog looks to be a good starting point for this approach:
