Essential Edit enhances expand-collapse

Syncfusion Essential Edit WPF 2010 Vol 3 adds expand-collapse support for Visual Basic.
July 21, 2010
Feature Release

Syncfusion Essential Edit is a syntax highlighting edit control that is designed to be extensible and easy to use. It does not derive from the Rich Edit control but was written from the ground up to be extensible and powerful. Syncfusion Essential Edit features multi-level undo / redo and rich formatting options. It comes with syntax files for commonly used languages and can be easily configured through a simple configuration file.

Syncfusion Essential Edit is also available as part of Syncfusion Essential Studio User Interface Edition and Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise Edition.
