Aikido™ Framework - NEW !
NetAdvantage for ASP.NET 2008 Volume 1 is the first release presenting our new Web User Interface Framework™: the Aikido Framework. Applying the lessons learned from years of user interface control development, Infragistics has laid the groundwork for the next generation of Web 2.0 applications that are rich and responsive. The Aikido Framework is an architecture built into NetAdvantage for ASP.NET that supports the creation of lightweight, cross browser, XHTML and CSS-based AJAX controls. Currently based on the Microsoft® ASP.NET AJAX Extensions 1.0 and ASP.NET 2.0, it will have the durability to remain aligned with new ASP.NET 3.5 programming paradigms as they arise.

Design goals we have delivered through the Aikido Framework in NetAdvantage for ASP.NET controls that empower your user interface development include:

• High-Performance - Lightweight markup and optimized code improve performance.
• Standards Conformance - CSS, Section 508 for Web Accessibility, and XHTML compliant.
• Major Browser Support - IE, Firefox, Opera and Safari.
• Simplified Object Model - Reductions in the object model to make them easier to understand and employ.
• AJAX-Enabled - Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX Extensions 1.0 foundation encourages development teams to leverage native AJAX capabilities.

WebSplitter™ - New ASP.NET Splitter Bar
Key features found in this ASP.NET splitter bar control include:

• Orientation - Orient your splitter bar horizontally or vertically on the page.
• Resizing Behavior - You can make the content pane resize in real time as the user clicks and drags the splitter bar, or on slower clients you can defer resizing until the user completes the mouse drag and releases the splitter bar.
• Expand / Collapse - Display buttons on the splitter bar that allows users to expand or collapse the content panes they represent to either side of the splitter.
• Content Panes - Place any content inside your content pane templates: user controls, ASP.NET controls, literal markup content, or anything else that your user interface requires.

WebDialogWindow™ - New ASP.NET Dialog Control
A few of the other key features of this ASP.NET dialog control include:

• Modes - The WebDialogWindow allows you to set whether the dialog behaves as a modal or modeless (non-modal) dialog would allowing you to better control the flow of your application.
• Header - The WebDialogWindow displays a customizable header area into which you can place caption text, several buttons including such stand-by's as the close, minimize and maximize buttons seen in desktop applications.
• Resizing - Just like a resizable dialog on the desktop, you can enable your end user to resize the WebDialogWindow at run-time.
• Location - Cause the WebDialogWindow to display at the starting location in the page where you want it to appear.
• Window State - WebDialogWindow takes care of remembering whether the user has minimized, restored or maximized its appearance.

WebImageViewer™ - New ASP.NET Sliding Image Control
Key features you will find in this image view control for ASP.NET include:

• Image Orientation - The list of images can be oriented horizontally (across) or vertically (up/down).
• Smooth Scrolling Animation - Custom configurable animation behavior determines how images are animated when scrolled, and you can scroll through the images one page at a time, one image at a time, or use a continuous smooth scrolling effect.
• Data Binding - The WebImageViewer can be data bound to a custom data model that has the file path to use for accessing the images, their target URLs for when they are clicked, and the tool tip text that should be displayed on mouse over.
• Navigation - When you need visually-appealing, image-driven navigation in your Web application, you can use the WebImageViewer to expose resources to your end users. The resource content of your Target URLs can appear in the same page, within a named frame, or into a new window.
