Does Infragistics plan on providing the souce code for NetAdvantage for WPF like they did with their Winforms libraries?
Thanks.
Hello Mitashki,
Because Infragistics is the first component vendor to offer a full component suite for WPF, currently we do not include source code for NetAdvantage for WPF for competitive reasons.
This will more than likely change in the future. Until then, the nature of the WPF architecture, makes it easy to customize these components through the use of styles.
Thanks very muc, Curtis.
Unfortunately, we are trying to do things by using styles right now that do now want to work. Some of the examples are the control selecting everything whe getting the focus or changing the background to yellow when the user types something. We want to do that through styles for the types so they are applied to all controls.
Traditionally, we found having the source code a very usefull feature when we were working with win forms as that let use know how the controls work.
Because of that it would be convenient to have the source code.
Again, Thanks very much.
Thank you :)
Hello Balticsd,
What you could do in order to download the source code is going to your "My IG" from our web site: www.Infragistics.com and than "My Key and Downloads" and under the appropriate key for the "NetAdvantage for WPF Data Visualization 2011 vol.2" product, there will be a source code listed at the new page.
If you have any other questions with this matter please feel free to ask.
Hi infragistics,
i want the source code too. Becasue is written in your product details!this is the reason why i at least pay this high price, because of the source code!I want to extend the timeline for my needs!
Hi Wade,
It is my understanding that the license agrees to providing access to the source for NetAdvantage for WinForms and not the WPF controls. WPF provides a different model for custom controls. Like Microsoft, Infragistics provides the XAML needed to customize the NetAdvantage for WPF controls. The DefaultStyles file provides ControlTemplates for the NetAdvantage for WPF controls.
Default styles is found in the following location:C:\Program Files\Infragistics\NetAdvantage for WPF 2007 Vol. 2\DefaultStyles
I thought when I purchased the Priority Subscription licenses, the sales literature and site says I have access to the source code. This is a violation of the contract. You really need to make it available to us who pay for the high price licenses.
The thoughts above about being able to debug or track down Infragistic WPF control issues is very valid.
I would like Infragistics to honor the contract it sold me and give me the source code.
Wade
