In every project, i always build up data entry forms for the Entities. I have googled it a bit and found some controls like Peter’s Data Entry Suite … etc.
Do you ever use these kind of controls and could you please tell me your experiences about using them ?
Thank you
For web development I’ve always had positive experiences with Telerik.
At the end of the day it comes down to the classic build vs buy. Once upon a time I was consulting for a company and I came across a jr programmer my 2nd day there. Asked what he was working on and he was custom building his own date/calendar picker for ASP.NET. He was basically building something similar to peter’s date picker or any other calendar control you find from 3rd party vendors.
Somewhat taken aback, I asked him how long he had been working on it. 3 weeks was the reply. Now fresh out of college, assuming 40k base salary + 15% overhead (probably low), this guy costs the company $920 a week. So $2760 in productivity costs for a subpar, unfinished date control that could be had for $250 off the shelf. In fact, the entire telerik package ran us something like $800 for a developer license last time we bought. Big waste of time/money rolling your own in that case.
