As you evaluate vendors, you might want to check out their free news groups
(if they have none, that is a big problem by itself). For fun, check out
Infragistics news groups. If you look at them for more than 3 seconds you'll
notice (1) there is a HUGE number of questions (I wonder why??? IMHO: poor
documentation, unintuitive object models - which is perhaps their biggest
problem, expensive tech support plans); and (2) a general lack of helpful
responses.
Sorry if this seems like a flame job against them - but I spent weeks to
actually implement. I was successful eventually - so I do know what it
takes. In hind site, now that I know what it actually takes, and then
switching to one of their competitors which had mature products that were
well documented and had intuitive object models, I'll never use Infragistics
again. Yes - it was for Web controls which I understand you are not yet
interested in - but the suite you are interested in is from the same
company... something worth considering if you value your time.
-Okay I'm Done! Good Luck.

Thanks for all the replies so far.
I should have mentioned that I am doing Windows programming, so I'm not
too worried about the web components. Right now I'm leaning towards
DevExpress, the lack of documentation for Infragistics (something I
have read over and over) is a big turnoff.
Anyone have experience with Janus? I can't seem to find too many
comments on them.
Thanks again,
Yohaas
