Philosophy and Design Goals
Our goal is to reduce the time that it takes you to buildprofessional applications, while increasing the overallquality and functionality that those applications provide.Our controls are thoughtfully architected, rigorouslydeveloped and tested, and fully supported. Ourarchitecture takes full advantage of the .NET Frameworkand allows us to provide a very similar API whether you’redoing Windows Forms, Web applications, Tablet PC, orCOM development. This allows you to reuse yourknowledge and expertise as you move betweenenvironments.
By focusing on what today’s developers need, we’vecreated a set of controls that is easy to use and allowsteams to customize all aspects of presentation layerbehavior and appearance. We understand that today’sdevelopers need to provide users with interfaces with thelook and feel of Microsoft applications – and we’recommitted to continually empowering developers with theability to easily replicate Microsoft’s latest applications inevery detail.
To ensure the life of the applications created with our toolsour Windows Forms and ASP.NET controls are writtencompletely in CLI compliant C# code. By maintainingstability, consistency and fine grained programmability ourobject model allows for access to every level of objecthierarchy. And, with rich event models, we also allowdevelopers to code customized user actions to meet theirneeds. This focus on consistency and compatibility hasallowed us to create tools that are positioned to addressthe presentation layer needs for today and the future.
The Infragistics Presentation LayerFrameworks™
Consistency for the developer, and for the end user, is thekey to increasing productivity. The Infragistics PresentationLayer Frameworks (PLF) provide this unparalleledconsistency as a common substrate upon which allInfragistics elements are built. For the developer thismeans that out of the box, you get XP Themes and Officelook and feel with a single property. This means that ourgrid controls let you edit any data type using editorcontrols which are all built on top of the same architecture.This means that you can build your own custom controlson our award-winning framework, and leverage our
NetAdvantage 2005

infrastructure so that your controls support XP Themes andOffice styles, and you can leverage our logic for hit-testing,painting, transparency, gradients, eventing, and more.
Our architecture extends across both Windows Formsdevelopment (Presentation Layer Framework™), and Webdevelopment (Web Presentation Layer Framework™), so nomatter which environment you work in, you can count on asingle intuitive learning curve, and a consistent experiencefor your users. The end result is less time spent onbuilding the presentation layer, and richer functionalitywhen you’re done.
