HI,
I am working on an assignment where I am upgrading our .Net 1.1 web applciation to be compatible to IE9. I am currently experiencing some concerns with the Ultrawebgrid that has been implemented. Now, I have searched your forums to find that the javascript errors that I get is definitely due to incompatibility with IE9.
Please suggest what would I need to do inorder to upgrade the IG Controls without having to upgrade .Net framework version.
Thanks in advance!!
Hi wsndev,
Thank you for posting in our forum.
According to the supported environments page - http://es.infragistics.com/support/supported-environments.aspx .Net Framework 1.1 supports NetAdvantage 2007 vol 1 and earlier. So in order to be able to use later NetAdvantage version, you would have to upgrade your .Net framework, too.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me.
Thanks for replying Nikolay!
I was wondering if upgrading the solution to .Net 2.0 Framework will suffice. In which case, which Infragistics version should I upgrade the controls to? Also, will .Net 2.0 framework be supported by Infragistics going forward, considering the upcoming release of IE10?
HI Nikolay,
I am back again. Well, we upgraded our .Net 1.1 application to .Net 2.0 so that we could the Infragistics controls that would support framework 2.0 and IE9 compatibility. However, after upgrading the Infragistics dlls, I am facing some problems.
1. I have a bunch of Validation (Internet Explorer 6): Element '' is not supported errors.These elements are all related to infragistics control related items.
2. File '<image_name>.gif' was not found. These images are again infragistics control related. I get a bunch of these as well.
To upgrade the dlls, all I did was replace the old references from the project and add the new ones. Furthermore, I also updated the page register tags to point to the new dlls.
Please let me know if there is anything I am missing out on.
Thanks,
I would need some more information about your issue. What NetAdvantage version are you currently using? And which particular controls and elements are causing this errors? It would also be helpful if you could attach a sample project, demonstrating these validation issues. About your second question – it’s possible that you need some new images after the upgrade. I suggest that you replace the ig_res folder in your project with the new one.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks for replying Nikolay,
Turns out the first issue was regarding Visual Studio's compiler validation configuration. I had to supress the Validation option for IE6. The application runs fine now.
I will replace the ig_res folder as per your suggestion and see how it goes.

Thank you for your reply.
Please feel free to continue sending us updates regarding this matter.
Hi Nikolay/Peter
The other issue is also resolved now. Replacing the ig_res folder did help. Thanks for your suggestion.
One other thing, I noticed that the WebUI.IltraWebNavigator control do not have the 'Title' property for Items anymore in v10.2 which it sis in v6.3. Now in our code we are using that property in a lot of places and was wondering what should I change to achieve the same.
For instance:
This is what we use in the client script.
igmenu_getItemById(itemId).Element.firstChild.firstChild.children[1].title
and now the title is always empty since I had to remove it from the design as the application was throwing a runtime error. Also, I cant see the 'tooltip' property in when i do
igmenu_getItemById(itemId).Element.firstChild.firstChild.children[1].tooltip.
Any suggestion.
Hello appliednetworksolutions,
You could use the "Tooltip" property instead. For better browser support I would suggest you to upgrade your controls to the latest version which is vol. 12.1.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Hi Nikolay We are having a similar situation in regarding the "title" property of the nodes. We have got an application created in 2008-2009 with infragistic and it began to fail with the new browser releases. We were suggested to apply the latest release of infragistic, but now the application is not compiling because the property "title" is not available anymore. It is all over the place in the code and we do not want to modify that logic as we do not have the time and budget for doing it. We have noticed that the "title" is used in part of the code for comparing data as well. Why this property has been removed. Why infragistic did not declare it as deprecated and still available? infragistic should have thought that there must be existing clients using it hence the patches releases do not force the developers to recode.
It is possible to enable this property again?
Any suggestion or advice?
Hello wsndev,
I suggest you to upgrade to the last service release - it is 10.2.20102.2248.
Hi
I figured out a way to resolve the prior concern. It's merely the way the elements are structured in v10.2 and I had to get the right element in the hierarchy to accomplish the tooltip/title property.
Now that 95% of the controls are working fine and the applciation is overall stable, I was wondering how do I get the v10.2 IE9 compatibility update release. Please let me know how to go about it.
