Infragistics 2020.2 Install ToolBar in VS 2019 for .net framework project
but it DOES NOT for .NET Core 5
Hello Irakli,
My team and I have done an initial review of this post, and I am under the impression that by the “Infragistics ToolBar” you are referring to the toolbox support in Visual Studio. In order for the Infragistics for Windows Forms controls to show in the toolbox when using a .NET 5 project, you need to first include the NuGet package for the particular control(s) you are trying to use, as our support for .NET 5 is done through NuGet. For more information on setting up the Infragistics NuGet feed and which controls exist under which packages, I would recommend taking a look at the following documentation:
NuGet Feeds: https://es.infragistics.com/help/winforms/nuget-feeds
NuGet Packages: https://es.infragistics.com/help/winforms/nuget-packages
With the above said, and while adding the NuGet packages to your project will allow you to see the controls in the toolbox, at the time of writing this there is no Visual Studio designer support for Infragistics for Windows Forms 2020.2 and so adding the controls will cause them to show up in the component tray. You can still interact with them through the component tray and the properties window, but they will not render in the designer. Support for the .NET 5 designers is coming in 2021.
Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns on this matter.
Should we wait for 21.1 Version or it will be fixed in the service release?
What about HIDPI Support for WinForm Components?
And Update modern styling?
We are targeting version 21.1 for the Windows Forms .NET 5 designer support, but at this point it is difficult to say if the tools will show in the toolbox without first installing the NuGet package to the application.
Regarding the high DPI support, this already exists for many controls in the Infragistics for Windows Forms toolset, although it is in a preview state. You can read about our DPI Scaling support here: https://es.infragistics.com/help/winforms/dpi-scaling-support.
Regarding a modern styling update, this is not yet implemented, but there is an ongoing product idea and discussion around this here: https://es.infragistics.com/community/ideas/i/ultimate-ui-for-windows-forms/support-of-office-2016-theming. This was posted quite awhile ago, and so the discussion is more around Office 2019 theming than the Office 2016 theme suggests. I would recommend voting on this product idea or commenting on it, as this will place you in direct communication with our product management teams who plan and prioritize upcoming features and development based on community feedback.
Hello Joshua & Gilles,
We have added designer support for many of the Infragistics for Windows Forms controls for .NET 5 in version 21.1. Designer support for .NET 6 came in version 21.2. We do not yet support .NET 7, but we are planning to release support for that soon.
You can read about the designer support implementations at the following links:
.NET 5: https://es.infragistics.com/help/winforms/whats-new-in-2021-volume-1.NET 6: https://es.infragistics.com/help/winforms/whats-new-in-2021-volume-2
I share the same expectation? With either .NET 5 / 6 / 7
With either VS.NET 2019 (16.x) / 2022 (17.x) / 2022 supporting .NET 7 (17.4.x)
Has .NET 5 designer support been added?
