User interface development is a time consuming and often frustrating part of application development for both large and small companies alike. To create a professional UI, developers must spend countless hours arranging controls on a form, align them correctly, position labels, consider form resolution issues and when specifications change, they must start the process over again.
At the end of the day, pixel oriented form design is a pain-in-the-neck process and though development methodologies have radically improved over the years, the foundations of form design have remained in the dark ages. It is for these very reasons that we created the XtraLayoutControl and sought to bring sanity and consistency to an otherwise mundane task.
The XtraLayoutControl empowers you and your team and allows you to create elegant UIs in the shortest possible time. From auto-arrangement of individual controls to resolution independence, the XtraLayoutControl delivers a comprehensive form design feature set. The XtraLayoutControl will dramatically reduce the number of UI modifications you need to make over time and thus the number of costly rebuilds. It is the only suite in the market that allows runtime layout customization so that end-users can reorder controls via simple drag and drop operations.
Key Features include the following (learn more here):
- End User Customization
- Screen Resolution Independence
- Intuitive Layout Rules
- Runtime Customization Form
- Expandable Groups
- Splitters
- Themes and Skins

- Data Aware and Unbound Mode
- Straightforward Design-time Experience

I just wanted to thank the folks at DevExpress for the great tools you have created. With increasing workloads, I needed to implement third party controls to meet these expectations. I tried several established control suites and while although helpful sometimes they tested my patience and then by chance I came across your control suite. Not only did it deliver but saved me countless hours on projects. The controls worked right out of the box (figuratively speaking). Your demos and code examples were simple and to the point – there was no need to wade through useless information. I cannot say any more.
As poor as I am from buying expensive tools and being disappointed time and time again this was definitely the best $800 I have personally spent (this year).
Thanks again!
