HI,
We are currently using the Version "6.2.20062.1069"of infragistic. We are plannig to upgrade to Dotnet 3.5, Can you please suggest which is the best version of infragistics we can upgrade?
Thanks,
Kalai.
Hello Kalai,
If you upgrade to Infragistics ASP.NET controls with version 11.1 (the last version that contain our classic controls) you can use our classic toolset with CLR 2.0, 3.5 and 4.0.
In this version assemblies compiled for all these CLR versions are provided with the install package.
The code base for all CLR versions of our controls is nearly the same and the only main difference is the additional features provided by the higher .NET CLR version – support for some new .NET classes and functionalities and usage in newer versions of Visual Studio IDE ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms171868%28VS.100%29.aspx ).
I hope that this information will be useful.
Thanks for your update. we were using Classic ASP.net controls. we cannot rewrite our entire application. Our motto is to upgrade the Dotnet 2.0 to Dotnet 3.5 or Dotnet 4.0. If we upgarde to infragistics version 2011 Volume 1 releasae will it support to the older asp.net controls for Dotnet 3.5 and dotnet 4.0? what is the pros and Cons for upgrading the newer version infragistic between dotnet 3.5 and 4.0? Can you please suggest us?

The best version in your situation may differ based on the controls that you use in the application planned for upgrade.
If you use our classic controls (like “UltraWebGrid”, “UltraWebTab” etc.) and do not want to migrate to our new tools set, then you can consider upgrading to version 11.1 which is currently the last version that include our classic controls.
Since version 11.2 these controls are no longer provided with our install packages and can be considered as retired - http://blogs.infragistics.com/blogs/taz_abdeali/archive/2011/11/17/asp-net-product-changes-in-2011-volume-2.aspx
That is why migration to the new Aikido toolset is strongly recommended - http://samples.infragistics.com/aspnet/
If you need additional information let me know.
