Syncfusion Essential Studio User Interface Edition

What’s new in Essential Studio User Interface Edition 2012 Volume 1?

Essential Grid for ASP.NET

• JSON Support - The AJAX Grid control allows you to increase grid performance. It has two modes: server and JSON. The JSON mode can be enabled to handle paging, sorting, grouping and filtering.

Essential Schedule for ASP.NET

• Schedule Navigation - The Schedule control provides a secondary pane that allows you to navigate between decades, individual years, months and days. When a selection is made, the primary pane will display the selected month, allowing you to drill down to a detailed view of any given week or day.

Essential Tools for ASP.NET

• Calendar Navigation - The Calendar control has a navigation pane that makes browsing by day, week, month, year, and even decade easier. This JavaScript implementation is fast and gives users a fluid experience.
• Rotator Control Improvements - An auto-play button can be added to the Rotator control to allow users to automatically scroll a list up or down, and left or right, with one simple click. While in this button mode, the rotator control retains all its other features.

Essential Diagram for ASP.NET MVC

• HTML 5 Diagram Modes - Essential Diagram has two HTML 5-enhanced modes: SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) mode and Canvas mode—which utilizes the CANVAS element. You can choose the mode that is best suited to your particular needs and required performance.
• Export to Image - The Diagram control can export the current layout in the diagram area to multiple image formats, specifically .jpeg, .bmp, and .png.
• Polyline Support - When in SVG mode, Essential Diagram can support polylines—multiple lines connected by intermediate points—for straight and orthogonal line connectors. The intermediate points in a polyline are visually represented as vertices.
• Printing Support - Essential Diagram gives you the ability to print a diagram layout when in SVG mode; this includes nodes, line connectors, custom shapes and custom content.
• Saving and Loading Diagram Edits - In SVG mode, the Diagram control can save and reload information regarding changes to nodes and line connectors to and from a database.
• Data Binding - Diagram data binding has been enhanced to support the ADO.NET Entity Model.

Essential Grid for ASP.NET MVC

• Editing via Unbound Columns - Editing via unbound columns allows you to make changes to multiple fields in a grid at the same time. Editing, updating and deleting are controlled by buttons on the row itself. You can edit or delete fields associated with a single data record by using these buttons instead of the toolbar.

Essential Tools for ASP.NET MVC

• AutoComplete Control Enhancements - The AutoComplete control, used to suggest entries as users type in a text box, has been enhanced with client-side data fetching to increase performance, highlighting for searched text, customizable list positioning, and support for left-to-right text alignment.
• Captcha Control Refresh - The Captcha control has a refresh button that allows you to regenerate an image of the code that has to be entered in the verification text box.
• Dragging and Dropping Tree Nodes - With drag and drop support, tree nodes can be repositioned at different levels in the same tree or dropped into a different tree, even if the other tree has different characteristics. For example, when dragging a node that doesn’t have a check box to a tree where nodes do have check boxes, the dragged node will automatically take on a check box.
• Splitter Control - The Splitter control can be used to create separate panes in a work area that can be resized or collapsed by dragging or clicking. Any number of panes and split bars can be created. Features include horizontal or vertical orientation, pane resizing, content template support and collapsible panes.
• TimePicker Control - When you need to set a time, the TimePicker control makes time selection easy by giving users a grid of values that can be selected just by clicking. Four primary fields can be set: hours, minutes, seconds, and a.m. or p.m. Also, by just hovering over a value, the display will be updated instantly—a live update. Minimum and maximum values are also supported.
