This is the first rant on this company’s software but surely not the last. Currently I’m attempting to accomplish a task that in reality should take about 5 minutes using basic controls but instead I’m stuck with Infragistics. This control is so horrid that it takes 2 days to figure out what it is attempting to do in the most illogical fashion and another day to correct that to make some semblance of sense. This will take hours of me navigating through the hundred line switch statements to find a single method which is abstracted into its own method by seemingly competent developers. Its almost as if someone thought “how can I make something so bad that people will remember me forever?” This crap is so bad that Frankenstein would have rallied the villagers to burn it to the ground. The spirits of “Raiders of the Lost Ark” wouldn’t have opened this damn box because the horrors contained inside are too horrible for any THING to bear. I got it, there was no big bang, someone just created this piece of crap and the universe just ran at high speed to get away from it.
This tool is like me asking for a screwdriver and someone handing me raw iron ore and telling me it is a screwdriver. Perhaps after come competent creation it could be but right now its a useless pile of crap that does me no good whatsoever. Anything I use this tool on becomes as unmaintainable as a stripped out screw that had the head cut off. The only way to take it out is to drill it out and put a bigger screw in which takes more time than using the correct tool the first time.
