We were using another UI component library in the past and were quite happy with it. Came across Ignite UI when we needed a powerful data grid for one of our projects. Ignite UI was the best solution for virtualization, paging, and column-level operations. Their support is also top notch. We've had a number of requests since we started and they have all been dealt with or resolved super fast.
The framework support is excellent. I can use the same high-performance data grids and charts in Angular, React, Web Components, Blazor or any other popular framework. There are all the features I needed – from basic to advanced. I particularly liked the fast Angular data grid.
The grid is very powerful: fast rendering, excellent filtering, sorting, grouping, and looks clean out of the box. Myteam really appreciates how feature-rich it is.
The Grid handles huge datasets with smooth scrolling and includes features like filtering, grouping, inline editing, and Excel export right out of the box.
The drag-and-drop components speed up UI creation dramatically, while the generated code is clean and portable. I can easily switch frameworks. Also, I love that there’s no vendor lock-in.
During our research we found Reveal and they promised fast deployment, extreme security measures, and significantly lower price tag. It turned out they were right. It took about a month to deploy and the cost saving was astronomical.
The reusable components are framework-agnostic, which means I can design once and use them across Angular, React, Blazor or Web Components. This makes our development stack more flexible, especially when projects have different requirements.
The Pivot Grid is brilliant. I just drop it onto the canvas, bind it to a data source, and App Builder automatically creates a pivot view for me.
The library of over 65 reusable UI controls and prebuilt themes means you spend less time styling and more time designing flows and interactions. Built-in data binding, Master-Detail views and GitHub integration make it robust as well
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions and Answers for Infragistics Ultimate
Why should I migrate from WPF or Windows Forms to the web?
The high cost of maintaining desktop applications and the growing requirement to support a wide range of devices are some of the most common business drivers forcing enterprises to migrate from the desktop to the web. Legacy desktop frameworks like WPF and Windows Forms limit reach, scalability, and long-term maintainability. However, transitioning to the web enables:
- Cross-platform access
- Easier updates and deployment
- Modern UX expectations
- Better alignment with future .NET investments
With Infragistics, you can leverage modern web frameworks that allow you to modernize and extend the lifespan of your apps without rewriting everything from scratch.
Do I need to rewrite my entire application to move to the web?
No. Using our tools, we allow you to modernize your app through two approaches:
With Ignite UI for Blazor that enables you to:
- Reuse existing .NET business logic
- Gradually replace desktop UI layers
- Modernize screens and workflows over time
Or use the low-code App Builder which enables faster UI creation without deep front-end expertise. The platform empowers you though a WYSIWYG app-building experience, reusable components, design system, AI capabilities, production-ready code generation for Angular, React, Blazor, and Web Components in a click.
What is the difference between Ignite UI for Blazor and App Builder?
Ignite UI for Blazor is a comprehensive UI library, delivering feature-rich components for building high-performance, enterprise web applications for Blazor.
App Builder is a low-code tool that lets teams visually design UIs, generate production-ready web code in a click, and leverage AI capabilities for faster automation. App Builder integrates the controls from Ignite UI for Blazor, which would make the transition and product implementation even more simplified.
Many teams use both: App Builder for rapid layout and Ignite UI for advanced customization.
Can I reuse my existing .NET code when migrating?
Yes. One of the biggest advantages of Blazor is the ability to reuse.NET business logic, validation rules, and data access layers. This significantly reduces risk and effort compared to migrating to non-.NET web stacks.
How close can the web UI match my existing desktop application?
Very close both visually and functionally. Ignite UI for Blazor provides:
- Rich grids and data-heavy components
- High-performance rendering
- Enterprise-grade UX patterns
This makes it possible to replicate complex desktop experiences while improving usability and accessibility. Most desktop-style UI patterns translate to the web, especially for data-heavy applications.
Is Blazor suitable for large, enterprise applications?
Yes. Blazor is widely used for enterprise-scale applications and Ignite UI for Blazor is built specifically for complex data scenarios, high-performance requirements, and future-proofed Blazor applications. It is well-suited for teams modernizing mission-critical desktop systems.
Do I need deep web or JavaScript expertise to migrate?
No. Both Ignite UI for Blazor and App Builder are designed for .NET developers. You can build modern web experiences using C# and Razor, App Builder as your intuitive, drag-and-drop visual design tool, and minimal JavaScript knowledge.
This lowers the learning curve for desktop developers.
How long does a typical desktop-to-web migration take?
Timelines vary based on application size and complexity, but teams often start with a pilot module or screen, deliver a working web version in weeks, continue migrating features incrementally.
Using App Builder can significantly accelerate early phases as the tool removes the need for hand-coding and designing/building everything from scratch.
Can I deploy Blazor apps on-premises or in the cloud?
Yes. Any Blazor app built with Ignite UI can be easily deployed on-premises, in private clouds, or on public cloud environments. Deployment flexibility supports a wide range of enterprise requirements.
What role does App Builder play in the migration process?
App Builder helps teams:
- Rapidly prototype modern UIs
- Align designers and developers
- Leverage AI capabilities for image, data source, views, controls generation, and more
- Generate clean, production-ready Blazor code
- Allow for instant code inspection and app preview
It’s especially useful for speeding up migration without sacrificing quality.
Is this approach future-proof for .NET applications?
Yes. Blazor is a strategic part of the .NET ecosystem and Ignite UI for Blazor is continuously updated with the goal to keep up with .NET releases, comply with modern web standards, support enterprise UI needs. This ensures your migrated applications remain supported long-term.
