I think its absolutely silly for a company to specify
something so small as a requirement... a nice to have
perhaps but as a requirement?

For any companies looking:

3rd party controls come and go in the development world -
they are nothing more than objects - no more complicated
than learning to use a new CLR class and learning is an
every day requirement for developers.

To limit your pick of developers to a few that have
worked with that one class is silly - you'll end up
trying to hire the best person out of a relatively small
group of people... in the end, only hurting yourself.

Hi Jay.

Actually, It might be a pretty good idea to have experience using those
components if you want to get up and running quick. I'm coming from the
Borland Delphi environment and Developer Express has been one of the biggest
and best component vendors in that market. Their libraries and components
are extremely well written and I have to recommend to anyone to check them
out. However, their large component collection is also quite a challenge to
get into. I remember spending at least 2 months with the version 4
components for Delphi before I got comfortable using them (especially if
you're like me and like to subclass and customize). I have both the VCL
subscription (Delphi) and the .Net subscription and can confirm that these
are some of the best (if not the best?) components you will ever find.

Highly recommended!

PS! I believe they have trial editions for every .Net product so you can try
them out for free.
