<h1>About Component Owl</h1>
|
||
|
||
<p>ComponentOwl.com has been founded in 2010 as a part of Dextronet.com network.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Our goal is to provide light-weight, flexible and reliable <strong>components and controls for Microsoft .NET</strong>
|
||
that are both user friendly and developer friendly.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Important thing about our controls is that they always use system themes, look, and behavior. We are opposed to controls with custom look and non-standard
|
||
behavior - in our opinion, controls that don’t look and behave as expected are not user friendly. Aero looks great, and so do our controls. That being said,
|
||
you can still customize our controls to suit your special needs, using many properties and owner-drawing options.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Our first product is Better ListView. It is aimed to be the number one replacement for the regular .NET ListView included with Visual Studio. Read the
|
||
<%= link_to "Better ListView story", story_path(featured_product) %>.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>Support and development continuance</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>All components provided are used in our own products. For example, Better ListView is used in
|
||
<%= link_to "task management software", "http://www.dextronet.com/swift-to-do-list-software" %> Swift To-Do List and professional photography processing
|
||
application ImagingShop. This is your guarantee that we will <strong>not</strong> stop developing and supporting our components. It is quite common to find abandoned
|
||
controls and components – and this won’t happen with Component Owl controls!</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>Quality assurance</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>Our quality assurance stands on three main pillars:</p>
|
||
|
||
<ol class="common">
|
||
<li>Unit tests. All code is covered by unit tests whenever possible.</li>
|
||
<li>Rigorous in-house testing with extreme focus on details.</li>
|
||
<li>Usage of our controls in real world. Thousands of users work with Better ListView every day, because it is part of Swift To-Do List
|
||
and other software products developed by us, our partners and customers.</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
|
||
