Infragistics is shipping a toolset that extends Microsoft’s Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) for graphical presentation.

Called NetAdvantage for WPF 2007 Volume 1, the toolset provides editable DataGrid-style controls for developers. Leveraging WPF capabilities such as vector-based graphics, animation and stylization, NetAdvantage for WPF helps developers build a new breed of user interfaces, Infragistics said.

DataGrid functionality in NetAdvantage, offered through the toolset’s xamDataGrid control, supports traditional grid UI features such as inline data editing, hierarchical data display and sorting and grouping of data.

Other capabilities in NetAdvantage include xamData Presenter, featuring tools to build user interfaces. These tools include xamDataCarousel, xamCarouselListBox and xamCarouselPanel, providing UI layout capabilities not previously possible prior to WPF, Infragistics said. Designers can build innovative UI patterns with layout controls and developers can choose the control based on the complexity of their needs, Infragistics said.

Downloadable here, NetAdvantage for WPF is available for an introductory price of $395 or $895 with priority support. It is sold on an annual subscription basis.

MSDN subscribers can get a free WPF xamDataGrid with one year of online support.
