[DUG] Good component packs

[David Brennan]

Is there a searchable DUG archive still? This question has been asked a few
times before so you might be able to find some good answers there.

I think Developer Express provide excellent components - so long as you
aren't fussed about the cost (which really isn't that much if you are a
professional developer). They are also very modular and extendable if you
are an advanced enough developer to get into that sort of thing. We use most
of their controls except ExpressBars (which worked poorly back at version 5
when we evaluated, we use Toolbar2000+TBX instead) and some others that we
haven't yet found a use for (eg the outlook style page navigator, vertical
grids, etc).

People seem to be saying more and more good things about TMS but I haven't
played with their stuff in ages. What I do remember about their architecture
and internal coding is pretty neutral.

I personally would stay away from Woll2Woll because my memory of them is
that their architecture was poor (compare with the modular DevExpress grid
architecture for comparison) and their code was awful (spaghetti code).
However it was many years ago that I last used their stuff so perhaps my
criticism are no longer warranted.

Cheers,
David.

Afternoon all o/

Other then TmsSoftware and Jedi - whats some other decent packs worth 
looking at, mainly visual component packs but anything else out there to 
make life easier and not re-invent the wheel.

Cheers
