Telerik

I have been working on a project outside of Healthwise lately
and the product that we are building needed
some UI enhancements.  I looked to Telerik to
provide them.  At work, we have a subscription to the Infragistics
Net Advantage control suite
in the and the developers really don’t care to use
them.  We have found them to be troublesome to install, difficult to work with
in the designer view and a real pain to add licensing in the applications.

For iReqwire, we wanted a simple solution and
a lot of bang for the buck.  I believe we got it in the Telerik
Rad Navigation
package.  I am using the menu and tab controls and have found
them a pleasure to code with and deploy.  In fact, after licensing the demos,
I simply re-installed new DLLs and the new versions are licensed to me as a developer. 
I can put them in any applications that I want.  There are no license files to
accompany the binaries.

Now that Free Text Box will be charging
for commercial use, I may be looking to the Telerik Control Suite, which offers an
editor as well.

I will recommend these controls for work.
