Syncfusion Syncs Up With Microsoft


Essential Studio 5 supports Windows Vista, Office 2007, ASP.NET AJAX

By David Worthington
April 15, 2007 — 
Syncfusion, an ASP.NET and Windows Forms component vendor, has updated its Essential Studio suite to be current with Microsoft. Essential Studio version 5 makes broad use of the Office 2007 UI, is Windows Vista-compatible and supports ASP.NET AJAX. The suite’s BackOffice components have also been refreshed. Its expected release date was April 10.

According to the company, each Essential Tools control, including Menus, Toolbar, Groupbar, Tabs and Rich Text Editor, has been given Microsoft Office 2007 theme support. Other Office 2007 enhancements are application-specific. The Ribbon control within Essential Tools for Windows Forms has a new dropdown designer for making customizations. Customizable Tab Groups and Microsoft Office 2007 themed galleries are included.

The controls are compatible with Windows Vista’s UAC (User Account Control) features, and customers’ applications may be recompiled using Essential Studio to work with Windows Vista.

The Rich Text Editor in Essential Tools for ASP.NET offers more styles and skins and has an updated spellchecker. A new AutoFormat feature has a predefined set of styles across controls that can be applied with a click.

CHARTS AND GRIDS
Syncfusion’s Essential Chart for ASP.NET and Windows Forms includes new chart types and stacking support. ASP.NET AJAX support has enabled scrolling as well as interactive zooming and cursor support.

The .NET grid component, Essential Grid for ASP.NET, has new customizable grouping options and data caching techniques that optimize database use, and, according to Syncfusion, simplifies coding. Office 2003 and 2007 themes have been added to the Windows Forms edition in addition to minor performance upgrades.

Essential Diagram replicates Microsoft Visio diagramming for Windows Forms and ASP.NET applications. The program has been revamped to be more intuitive and responsive. And its line routing and layout has been enhanced.

Last, Syncfusion’s DocIO and XlsIO BackOffice components have several improvements. DocIO has preservation features for AutoShapes form fields in templates, footnotes and endnotes. It now supports a GetText method so developers can pull text from a template Word document. There’s also a new API for creating nested tables, and users can replace bookmark text.

Essential XlsIO, a .NET library that reads and writes Excel files, now checks to see whether cells have external formulas. It can remove error markers when data types are mismatched, or modify the data type.
