I've had the ComponentOne and Infragistics stuff in the past and it looks
great value. Problem is that its subscription software, so the cost is
on-going, which put me off to the point where I no longer use them at all. I
much prefer the old model of buying a product and picking for myself when I
choose to upgrade it.

Really, I'll have to double check that, didn't realize it was a
subscription.

Steve - You can purchase just the control if you want and then upgrade it
(for a fee) when you want. You don't have to maintain a subscription to
continue to use the product.
HTH,

Brian,
You seem to be right. I read the license on their site, and no where
did I find that you lose the right to develop with it after a set
amount of time.

But you don't get bug fixes unless you subscribe. I'm rather more used to
the model that says I buy a product and, until the next major release, I get
bug fixes done free. With the subscription model, I have no option but to
subscribe or pay again every time I find a bug that needs fixing.
I used to subscribe to Component One and found that my quarterly
subscription was little more than the maintenance fixes that I would have
expected to get normally for free.
