I was wondering what third party control libraries everyone uses?
I'm quite partial to ComponentArts (ASP.NET) and Infragistics libraries, what would your must haves for .Net development be?

Please don't touch ComponentArt, they're horrid.
Well, they're great if you like controls that eschew specs and are hard to integrate with a website when you want full control over the markup. -
We use Infragistics, and some /n software
-
We use components of Xceed Software. They have a powerful Grid control, a UI library, input validators, charts, docking windows, compression/ZIP, advanced FTP, ...

Telerik for asp.net here

-
Infragistics is fine; sometimes: DevXpress,
ComponentOne, IPWorks for ASP .NET Projects; Leadtools for multimedia apps.
Look at http://componentsource.com/index.html for more, or this for even more. -
We use 3rd party CAN network drivers from Vector, and LIN network drivers from Volcano.

Hm, I was just thinking about buying the ComponentArt package!!!
You say don't touch them, but you give no alternative?
Probably because there isn't one available?
I've looked at many controls, and never saw anything like ComponentArt, they look AWESOME...
So... is there an alternative to componentart???
If not, I will have to buy them, even if that means losing full control over the markup like you say...

These guys?
Besides, most of the ComponentArt controls can be recreated with even more control over generated markup with a little knowledge of ECMAScript, the DOM, and XHTML.
