ASPxTreeList improves rendering

Tue, 14 Jun 2011 13:48:48 GMT

Highlighting rows in a treelist.

Version 2011 adds consistent rendering for default Web page Doctypes.

ASPxTreeList is a feature-complete treeview-grid control for Visual Studio. ASPxTreeList is a multi-purpose data visualization system that can display information as a tree, a grid, or a combination of both - in either data bound or unbound mode. This synergy between a traditional grid and a traditional treeview allows you to create cutting-edge and visually appealing web application interfaces for your end-users with ease. ASPxTreeList fully exploits existing DevExpress appearance and data management technologies for ASP.NET. ASPxTreeList includes features such as on-demand loading of individual nodes and callback support ensure that the solutions you build are both elegant and effective. In the implementation, the control never needs to transmit the entire tree structure when being updated. ASPxTreeList is smart enough to determine which portion of the tree to be renewed and only requests a few records from the server, making user interaction extremely fast. ASPxTreeList Subscription Licenses with Source Code available.

Updates in v2011 vol 1

Consistent Rendering for Default Web Page Doctypes - Default document types used by Microsoft Web development tools are as follows:

XHTML 1.0 Strict is used in Visual Studio 2010, SharePoint 2010, ASP.NET MVC 2
HTML5 is used in ASP.NET MVC 3.

To conform to these changes, DevExpress have improved the rendering of their controls so that they look and behave properly and uniformly within web pages using one of the following document types:

XHTML 1.0 Transitional
XHTML 1.0 Strict
HTML5

Note that code generated by DevExpress ASP.NET controls is designed to fully comply with the XHTML 1.0 Transitional specification. In the other supported document types, the code works well but may not fully pass markup validation. Support for new doctypes applies across browsers, so the web controls appear and work identically under all supported browsers, including Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0+, Mozilla FireFox 2.0+, Google Chrome 1.0+, Apple Safari 3.0+, Opera 9.0+ and Netscape Navigator 9.0+.

Automatic layout and sorting samples in Better ListView.

Better ListView offers a replacement for the .NET ListView control with more features and improved behavior.

Better ListView has significantly more features and improved behavior. It is lightweight and always uses the system theme (including Aero support). It does not inherit from the regular list view control and is therefore very flexible. Better ListView has no dependencies and is easy to deploy (a single 80kB DLL when compressed). Better ListView is optimized for speed (100.000+ items) and includes drag & drop support, sorting, image support, checkboxes and more.

Features

Fast, light-weight, pure managed code

Written from scratch in pure managed C# code - does not inherit from regular ListView
No dependencies
Easy deployment - single DLL binary that has just 80 kB when compressed in a ZIP archive
100% compatible with .NET 2.0 or higher
Lightning fast. Optimized for 100.000+ items

No bugs and issues related to regular .NET ListView control

Since the whole control has been written from scratch and it does not inherit from the regular Microsoft .NET ListView component, the original ListView bugs are not present.
Furthermore, Component Owl have fixed all issues and some limitations related to the regular .NET ListView control, especially incorrect behavior and non-standard implementation of many features (selections, drag & drop, checkboxes, etc).
Surprisingly, .NET ListView does not support complex data binding. This forces developers to write additional code for populating and updating the control. Better ListView, however, has the ability just like the DataGrid control - one can simply bound any IList, DataSet, DataTable and several other types directly to Better ListView and leave all the management on .NET internals.

Better drag & drop support:

Insertion mark for inner reordering of items helps users preview the action
Auto-scroll while reordering items added

Better column headers:

Columns can be shown in all layouts (not just Details)
Column headers have their own context menu
Auto-scroll when reordering column headers added

Better sorting:

Inbuilt sorting (zero code needed)
Multi-column sort supported (use Shift+Click to add additional columns to sort)
Ability to create custom comparer

Images support:

Each sub-item can have its own image
Use both ImageList control or individual images
Supports images of all sizes
Can automatically resize images nicely if needed (no pixelated horrors)
Column header images are supported

Better checkboxes:

Checkboxes can be used in all layouts (not just Details)
Fixed behavior. Checkboxes behave as expected - this makes Better ListView user friendly, compared to regular ListView.
Three-state checkboxes supported

Looks and feels great

Better ListView always fully utilizes the current Windows theme
Double-buffered and flicker-free

Fixed bugs and wrong behavior of regular .NET ListView

The regular ListView has various obscure bugs (like events firing twice) and non-standard implementation of behavior in many cases.
Component Owl have fixed all the bugs, and made it to always behave as expected.

User friendly:

Leverage the user knowledge of Windows Explorer ListView. The ListView in Windows Explorer is a great model, because every Windows user already knows how it works and how to use it. Unfortunately, the regular .NET ListView deviates from this behavior, and is thus not user friendly. Better ListView replicates the correct standard behavior of Windows Explorer ListView whenever possible. Better ListView always works as expected.

Developer friendly:

Better ListView can be used just like the common ListView. All the method names and property names are the same whenever possible. If you know how to use the common ListView, Better ListView will require nearly no learning on your side. Better ListView is a true pragmatic choice -- skip the learning time, and focus on development.

Powerful, flexible, customizable:

Advanced features like super powerful HitTest and ability to have owner-drawn item are supported. You might be surprised by all the things that are possible to do with Better ListView.

Guaranteed supported and continued development

Better ListView is developed as a joint-venture of two software companies that use it in their flagship products (Swift To-Do List and ImagingShop), used by thousands of users daily. This is your guarantee that it will be supported and developed in the future.

Tested in real world applications by thousands of users

Because Better ListView is used in professional consumer software applications - Swift To-Do List and ImagingShop, thousands of users work with it every day. Although Component Owl use unit tests that cover all code, and do thorough inhouse testing, this is your true bullet-proof guarantee that it is tested thoroughly in the real world.

Other nice-to-have and might-come-handy features:

Customizable searching by typing
Ability to set custom size for items in all layouts
Any element of the control can be customized with properties and owner-drawing

Silverlight ListBox now available

Tue, 14 Dec 2010 17:16:00 GMT

Drag and drop Multi-View demo in Xceed Ultimate ListBox for Silverlight.

Xceed Ultimate ListBox for Silverlight replaces stock listbox with fast data access, powerful grouping and fluid UI.

Xceed Ultimate ListBox for Silverlight is a listbox component for Silverlight applications. It performs intelligent, virtualized background data retrieval - the remote data engine only gets records as needed, reducing the amount transferred. Xceed Ultimate ListBox for Silverlight is a drop-in replacement of the standard control. Get a superior listbox without wasting any time, thanks to an API design that lets you integrate it into any project using the stock Silverlight listbox. Xceed Ultimate ListBox for Silverlight supports grouping, navigation, and filtering. It takes users directly to the group they're looking for, and a search box filters data quickly and easily. With smooth scrolling and fluid animations, these effects reduce the perception of lag, thanks to the time required to execute them. Because items fade in/out and glide fluidly, visual tracking of items is improved. Xceed Ultimate ListBox for Silverlight includes priority support and updates with a Vanguard subscription. The Blueprint Edition goes further and includes the component's full source code. Full documentation and samples is also included.

Features available in Xceed Ultimate ListBox for Silverlight

Drop-in replacement for the standard Silverlight listbox - Its API is designed so that it will fit easily into any project already using the stock Silverlight listbox control. If you know the Silverlight ListBox interface, you can be up and running in minutes.
Intelligent virtualized background data retrieval - Automatic data retrieval only gets records from the remote data source if they are visible (data virtualization). This greatly reduces the amount of data to be transferred, which increases the perceived speed of the listbox. Also reduces strain on the server.
Optimized network communications and data source queries - No discovery. The listbox doesn't need to know anything about the data source. Other controls need to send a sizable query to the source to learn about it, wait for the response, and then handle it. Xceed's Silverlight listbox doesn't do this, letting it load faster.
Item grouping - Provides powerful grouping with customizable headers. Supports UI virtualization, preserving memory and reducing load time, even when grouping.
