I am very confused by the new release of 11.2 with regard to the xamTilesControl. This post http://blogs.infragistics.com/blogs/atanas_dyulgerov/archive/2011/11/01/xamtilemanager-new-control-in-the-xaml-line-of-business-product-shipped-with-the-11-2-release.aspx says that the XamTileManager is now replacing the xamTilesControl, however 11.2 also has a xamTilesControl.
Is it your guidenance to stop developing with xamTilesControl and to start using xamTileManager? Or are you going to continue to support the xamTilesControl. I ask because the xamTilesControl is the centerpiece to an application I am working on, and I do not want to work with a control that will soon be obsolete.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Mike Malter
Hello Mike,
I have been looking into your enquiry and in order to clarify things around retiring a control I can suggest you read through this blog post: http://blogs.infragistics.com/blogs/jason_beres/archive/2011/11/10/important-product-changes-and-control-retirements-in-2011-2.aspx .
Even though we will continue supporting the XamTilesControl and fixing any arisen issue for it we do suggest that you transition to it successor the XamTilesManager as the XamTilesControl will be soon obsolete in terms of improving its functionality.
Please let me know if I can elaborate my answer. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Is there going to be a separate thread for XamTileManager under Layout? I have a question about how to apply the theme since the helper control is not available to configure the XamTileManager like in the XamTilesControl.
Thanks.
