Hats off to Janus

We love the Janus controls.  We had to extend their CalendarCombo to handle 'our' default date in sql server, which is 1/1/1800.  Overall, our enhancement to their control for our requirement works well.

We have a strange behavior we are seeing so I sent an email to Janus asking if they could help.  The strange behavior is 100% because of our version of their control (we inherit their control) and I explained that to them.

Well, not only did they suggest a fix, they extended their control to now handle 'other' default values other than Null.  So, I can throw away all of our 1/1/1800 code. Man, these guys are awesome.  Thanks Janus!

Take a peek at what they offer:

  • Are the Janus controls just for Internet Explorer? I generally browse with Mozilla and the Janusys site renders really poorly in it (the controls don't even display).



    If you take browser compatibility out of the equation, web application design becomes much more straight forward -- but much less universal.

  • They create mostly winforms controls.



    Their support is great indeed, I can only second Greg :)



  • I think they have a grid out now for ASP.NET. I'd buy there products 10x over; thats how good they are and how awesome their support is.

  • janus is the best! Janus beats Infragisitcs massive suite, by providing a few high-quality controls (chiefly a wonderful grid, but also calendar, multicolumn combo, etc.) that work brilliantly.
