Testimonials

We used the previous ribbon bar from DevComponents in our NovaMind 3 Mind Mapping application, and have always been happy with the quality of the product, and the flexibility and feature set of the components.

In NovaMind 4, we are moving to a WPF based application, and have found the WPF Ribbon to be even better. We are now able to streamline our code by the use of the action programming paradigm, data bindings, the improved automatic layout features and better handling of popup windows. This means that we are able to produce a much better application for our customers, and do it more quickly than we could in the past.

When there have been issues to be resolved, the response from DevComponents has always been fast - some of the best support we have encountered from any company.

It is a pleasure working with your staff and the benefits of using the DotNetBar and WPF Ribbon has given NovaMind a huge strategic advantage in the Mind Mapping market.    Gideon King, CEO
