Add advanced combo box drop down lists to your ASP.NET applications. WebCombo is a cross-browser multi-column combobox that will allow you to show your data in multiple columns and then easily filter the data with the built-in filter included. WebCombo gives your users maximum freedom by allowing them to select multiple records within the combobox, search with wildcard or instantly select a record. WebCombo also supports Load On Demand, literally any browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari, Gecko based, etc.).

WebCombo is a ASP.NET ComboBox component that will allow you to deliver large enterprise data to your web applications, show your data in multiple columns mode and then easily filter the data. WebCombo allows you to control all elements of the combobox. Styles can be saved and restored easily into XML-based format file too. Because of the Gecko-engine browser support, the OnTheFly postback feature will run perfectly in Internet Explorer as well as in Firefox or Mozilla.

WebCombo features:

On the Fly Data Request: postback is not needed when retrieving data from server improving server performance by avoiding page roundtrips between client and server

Common DataBinding Process: create multiple instances of WebCombo in a webform page by assigning the DataSource and calling DataBind()

Support for All ADO.NET Objects: support for databound or unbound mode. Use the DataSource property to assign most ADO.NET objects including stored procedures and custom business classes

Automatic Query Handler: query data without creating a separate stored procedure or code to match the component infrastructure for the query purpose. The automatic query handler performs all required lookups and filtering processes

Visual Studio.NET Design Support: support for the design time extension for Visual Studio.NET to resize the control within the IDE and view the appearance of control in design time

Automatic Data Caching Handler: a built-in data caching mechanism to reduce server workloads and improve server performance. The handler has been tested to produce a faster server response and includes the ability to keep or remove unused cache for each WebCombo instance

Automatic Error Handling: create an error response to communicate with clients upon error detection

Dropdownlist Window: covers all windowed objects including the standard Windows dropdownlist control and is not limited to the browser's window size

Multiplecolumns Combo Mode: display data in the dropdownlist selection

Common GUI Behaviour: implements all standard Windows UI behaviors for navigation, selection and control focus. Use the keyboard to navigate dropdown items, press Alt+Down Arrow to display the dropdown list and tab or enter to select. Use the mousewheel to scroll along the dropdown items

Supports .NET Framework's Control Validation Architecture: compatible with all Validators controls such as the RequiredFieldValidator. Create a validation by dropping a validator control from the toolbox into a webform and set its ControlToValidate property to the WebCombo object that is to be validated

Fully Customizable: including a common LayoutSettings object providing centralised and fast access to the component's behavior and look and feel. Customize all textual elements in the TextSettings object

Common Architecture: implements a common control architecture for improved understanding and for developers when integrating Intersoftpt Solutions Corporation’s components. The architecture contains a ClientEvents object the provides the ability to customize the events on the client side and shares a single common subfolder containing all required client scripts and images for updating and a managed environment

Gecko-engine browser support: OnTheFly® postback feature run perfectly in Internet Explorer® as well as in Firefox or Mozilla.

Visual Studio® 2005 and 2008 support

What's new in WebCombo 5? - Features Client-side Binding and Web Services Support

WebCombo 5 is now built upon the Client Data Object Framework (CDOF), the same framework that powers WebGrid Enterprise 7 to provide rich client binding functionality. As the results, you can now use WebCombo to bind data to web services such as web services, WCF services, ADO data services, Azure or other cloud-based data services. Client-side binding has a number of benefits such as producing smaller data output size between callbacks which greatly improve application’s performance in overall. Our test with various binding configuration show impressive results for client binding mode.

No-codes data binding through DataSourceControl support

Intersoftpt introduces new databinding concept with no codes required in the page's code behind. With this new databinding concept, programming databind web application is very easy, simple and straightforward. In previous version, you will need to configure InitializeDataSource event and write codes inside the event which pass the datasource to e.DataSource. That is no longer needed in WebCombo.NET version 4.0, although the old databinding mechanism is still supported for backward compatibility.

Improved Data Caching

The data caching feature in version 4.0 has been significantly improved to avoid memory leaks and lower usage of allocated resources when the DataCacheStorage is set to PageCache (default).

FileServer DataCacheStorage

WebCombo now exposed a new option in the DataCacheStorage called "FileServer" in additional to the existing options. When you choose this option, the data cache will be stored to the path defined in CacheServerConnection property. This new option allows better scalability and reliability to your web application, as the data caches are no longer stored in ASP.NET's worker process or Session.

Quick configuration by using SmartTag Designer

WebCombo.NET version 4.0 introduces SmartTag Designer that extends Visual Studio 2005's designer architecture. The SmartTag Designer is useful to help developers easily getting started with the new WebCombo.NET instance. The SmartTag Designer consists of basic settings such as Data Source settings, styles settings and common behavior settings to help you setup your WebCombo fast.

Vista-style image animation

WebCombo.NET 4.0 supports background image animation to help you replicate rich UI controls in Windows Vista. In this version, the background image animation is supported in dropdown element only. However, note that the image animation requires certain design in order to create smooth effect. Not all design will look good when the animation is enabled. For instance, the default style that comes in version 4.0 is specially designed to display smoothly while animation is enabled.

Advanced Load-on-Demand data retrieval through ISDataSourceControl support

ISDataSource control is Intersoftpt proprietary data source control that extends ObjectDataSource functionalities with hierarchical business object binding and automatic load on demand integration.In previous versions, data retrieval is handled at component level. The load-on-demand mechanism is also handled at component level, for instance, at WebCombo level. This is required because both user interface and data handling are mixed.The load-on-demand data retrieval in WebCombo.NET version 4.0 can also be used when bound to datasource control. However, the currently supported datasource control for this operation is ISDataSource control only.
