Detailed Product Description

Pattern-Based Architecture

Having an architecture founded on recurring design patterns keeps your eye on the big picture. Ramp up to speed quickly by learning how a pattern applies to one control, and then reusing that knowledge for every other control exemplifying that pattern.

These patterns are epitomized separately by the xamDataGrid^™ (pronounced "zamDataGrid") with its ability to manage, organize and crystallize hierarchical data for users, and the xamCarouselPanel^™ (pronounced "zamCarouselPanel") with its signature flair for presenting a sequence that uses motion, visual effects and transparency to add value. The NetAdvantage for WPF controls show in their variety how these patterns can be composed to solve scenarios that need to impress, empower, and inform users in different ways.

ThemePacks

NetAdvantage for WPF ships with 15 ThemePacks, designed by the Infragistics Visual Design Group, making it easy for you to give the controls a clean and modern look with a single property setting.

• Windows Themes including Luna (Windows XP), Aero (Windows Vista) and Royale (Windows Media Center Edition)
