For the record, I bought the express quantum grid package ($700), and it is indeed remarkable. I've used Orpheus, topgrid, the Borland grids, and of course listview (but not as an editor). Devex is at least an order of magnitude better. One minor downside is that their support website is slow as a slug and is complicated to use. However, I've found & used several items of info in the short time I've been using the product.

I have had subscriptions to the .Net and the VCL component libraries for several years. You can't go wrong with DevExpress. The only limiting factor that I have with them is Silverlight controls - they don't have enough of them (yet). Although there are differences between the .Net and the VCL libraries, they are similar enough to convert from one to the other.

I'm looking at the ExpressQuantumTreeList Suite from DevExpress. The features look very good, but I'd be very interested in any experiences folks have had. I am interested in how good the tech support is and the quality of the development process using their components (intuitiveness, documentation, coherent feature set). It seems to me that the company is pretty strong and will be around, but I could be wrong, so it would be nice to hear a confirmation. Another area of interest is, we do a lot of Delphi, but also some C# and VB .net. There are products supporting these platforms; are they similar enough that a conversion from Delphi to C# would not involve a complete redesign of the UI? I'm not expecting "easy", just a degree of conceptual commonality and visual similarity. Jeremy
