UltraControl Query

Update? It's a separate product license. You should contact your Progress sales rep or sales admin personnel.

Okay, thanks for the information.

You can get technically the same Controls (maybe even a more recent release) directly from Infragistics, check http://www.infragistics.com/dotnet/netadvantage/winforms.aspx#Overview. Progress is just rebranding them.

There are some differences:

IG: Subscription price, annual renewed (cheaper in the first year)

OE UltraControls: Buy once, pay maintenance (cheaper from the second year on)

IG: Support via Infragistics Support

OE UltraControls: Support via Progress support (recommended)

IG: Use with any IDE

OE UltraControls: License restricted to usage within OpenEdge

Hi Mike,

I have one last query about the ultra-controls I was wondering if you could assist. Is the ultra controls a separate entity to the openedge application? In terms of if there was a new release of the ultra controls package, would it require a re-install of the openedge software?

Thanks

When you buy the ultra controls from PSC, they are updated with service packs and releases of OE itself.

Progress will update the UltraControls to a more recent version of the Infragistics Controls with service packs and major releases.

10.2A02 provides an update to a service pack of Infragistics, 10.2B will update to a 2009 release (see http://communities.progress.com/pcom/docs/DOC-101182 and http://communities.progress.com/pcom/message/68413#68413).

Thanks guys, much appreciated
