NetAdvantage code samples?

I purchased Infragistics NetAdvantage 2006 Volume 1 CLR 2.0 and was mildly
shocked to see no sample apps included that showed the code/settings
required to replicate the UI components shown in the screenshot galleries on
their website.

Did I miss something?

Yeah.....I dropped a couple of questions on their newsgroup
servers.......b ut I'm not holding my breath.

It seems unethical to charge someone about $700 for the tools then another
$800-$1500 for training on how to use them. But, it looks like exactly what
they do. Had I known there were no code source examples included, I never
would have bought NetAdvantage to begin with.

Unfortunately, I believe that the lack actual code samples is meant to
"entice" people into spending more money to be trained in the use of the
tools. Why else would you not show simple examples (in code) of how each
tool is used?

It would seem to me that happy customers (ones that can buy and immediately
use) your toolset would be an asset and may send more customers your way.
But, if you don't provide code samples, and the customer has to pay out the
nose to learn how to use what s/he has just bought......wel l that's just
plain stupid - not to mention bad marketing.

Admittedly, I am new to .Net. I have resisted it for quite some time. It
is not as RAD as VB6 was. The toolsets given to use by 3rd party vendors
are not as user-friendly nor do they allow the customization of the UI as
much as the toolsets for VB6 did.

Microsoft has screwed us with this .Net crap. RAD is DEAD. Innovation in
software (which mostly came from school kids and part-time programmers) is
all but gone. (How many new and exciting .Net apps have you seen lately?)

Fewer college entrants are taking classes to become programmers year after
year. Soon, outsourcing will be the only option for many companies.

Why? IMHO, programming used to be fun. .Net is not. Part-time programmers
came up with new apps for fun and profit continually in VB. Not with .Net.

Anyway....I don't want this to become an "I hate .Net" rant. I do, but that
is beside the point.

I have never purchased a suite of tools for more than $100 that did not come
with source code examples that showed the components in use.

I am surprised that a company like Infragistics would pull such a scam on
it's customers.

Of course, the source code for examples of all of the controls could be here
somewhere. But, if it was, wouldn't there be a link to it in the
NetAdvantage start menu folders....or even in the Help files that accompany
the tools?

This is why people hate software and PCs. Perfectly brilliant people write
massively powerful things that nobody can use quickly and simply.

Great job guys!

A simple yes or no would have sufficed.

I just visited their web site and found the samples with 4 mouse clicks.

Obviously, you did not download this package and take a look for yourself.
If you had, you would have noted that is not a collection of code
illustrating the use of the NetAdvantage components. It is a .Net Web app.

It does not offer simple examples of each component. It does not offer
examples of the Winforms components at all. It does not show example code
in VB.Net as well as C#.

I say again....you lied.

Jim,
Are you asking if I have looked into using Microsoft Access 2003 to write
an application that looks professional enough to distribute?
Yes however, where does that last part of your sentence come from, I did not
see it earlier in your messages in this messagethread. That is than not
discussing, that is in my opinion setting the truth to your hand. (Others
use other words for that).

You are living in 2006 now, you can in my opinion not anymore distribute a
package as it was with Dbase2.

The customer is grown up, therefore keep RAD for inside an organisation and
give the client the quality you can make using the Visual Studio Net tools.

That the tool is as well sufficient for organisations which do in house
applications and have therefore a lot of handy RAD tools makes it only
better.

Just my thought,

Cor

Into this tab I drag lots of commonly used chunks of code. I am then able to drag them back into my projects whereever needed. This works kind of like the clipboard ring, however the samples do not get removed at a restart etc, but instead always remain available. They are also...

I got the code below from the .NET SDK. I am still new to C# and I don't understand how the code works. And by that I mean I don't understand how the program knows to execute it. I can find no entry point besides main. I cannot find an event that calls the code. It is a simple GDI+ application. I just don't see how it ever executes. I need nothing about the code itself, just how the thing "turns on." I don't ever see OnPaint called...

Hello, I would like to build a website using ASP.NET. I would like website visitors to be able to download code that I would like to make available to them and that would be residing on my personal server. Are there any code samples or books that someone can recommend so that I can implement this. I would prefer VB.NET code, but I am willing to convert from C# if necessary.

(4) When I tried to phone Customer Services/Sales, they were closed;

Can anyone show me the AC code for the whole 40000 samples which means continuosly analyse every 600 samples up to the 40000th samples, so that the result would be stored in an array. i need this for pitch tracking.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
