Sample documents created using Syncfusion Essential DocIO.

Version 2011 vol 4 adds write protection with password support for Word 2007 and Word 2010 documents.

Syncfusion Essential DocIO features an extensive range of functionality, including support for formatting and customizing content, mail merge, inserting tables, bookmarks, protecting a document, working with streams, inserting headers and footers, and much more.

The following editions are available:

Updates in 2011

Write Protection with Password Support for Word 2007 and Word 2010 Documents - Essential DocIO already supports document protection with passwords for Word 97-2003 documents. Document write protection is a set of restrictions that is used to prevent unintentional changes to parts or all of a document. However, this protection does not encrypt the document. With this protection on, you can open and view the document generated without a password, but you cannot edit the contents of the write-protected document.
Field Updating Engine - A field in a Word document is a placeholder for data that might change upon updating fields. A field contains a field code, field separator, field result, and field end. The field code contains information about how the field result is to be calculated and updated. The field result specifies the resultant value of the field. A field updating engine updates the field result based on the field code information.

Discussion Column can show who authored a post and when that post was published (configured in column settings). It is possible to show all conversations in a list view or just show a hyperlink to "View Item". You can also arrange your comments in chronological or reverse chronological order.

Features

Comments editing
Filtering of empty records
Ability to show whole discussion history or only link to it in a list view
Show user name as a link to user profile page

ASPxHTMLEditor adds right-to-left layout support

Tue, 14 Jun 2011 13:50:38 GMT

ASPxHTML Editor design view running within Internet Explorer.

Version 2011 also adds export and import support for RTF, DOCX, MHT, ODT, TXT and PDF (export only).

ASPxHTMLEditor allows you to add a text editor with an intuitive user interface that resembles Microsoft Word (with similar toolbars and the same keyboard shortcuts) to your ASP.NET applications. In addition to being a WYSIWYG editor, the ASPxHTMLEditor control supports HTML input. With ASPxHTMLEditor (DevExpress HMTL Editor), you don't have to choose which input method to use, because ASPxHTMLEditor provides automatic two-way synchronization between the visual editor and HTML code. End-users can switch to the code view and edit documents by manually controlling every tag and attribute. This allows them to use even those tags that aren't currently supported by the visual editor. To ensure superior performance, ASPxHTMLEditor initially generates the least amount of code required for its functionality on the client. When end-users need additional elements, such as popup windows for image or hyperlink management, these elements are loaded via AJAX callbacks with ASPxHTMLEditor (DevExpress HMTL Editor).

Updates in v2011 vol 1

Document Selector - Extended the Insert Link and Change Link dialogs with the ability to invoke the Select Document dialog - allowing end-users to manage documents stored on the server via a point-and-click UI, rather than entering image Web address information manually. Because the File Manager control is integrated into the Select Document dialog, all file/folder management and upload capabilities (with full customization) are available to you out-of-the-box.
Export/Import Support - With DXperience v2011 vol 1, the ASPxHtmlEditor's contents can be imported and exported to/from multiple document formats including: Rich Text (.rtf), Office Open XML (.docx), MIME HTML (.mht), Open Document (.odt), Plain Text (.txt) and Portable Document (.pdf). Available for export only. You can allow end-users to export editor contents via a specially designed toolbar item (with all required functionality) or you can execute an export/import operation programmatically.
Right-To-Left Layout Support - This release includes right-to-left data presentation options for the DevExpress ASP.NET HTML control. When used, all HTML Editor contents and their associated UI elements (including Views, toolbars, toolbar items and built-in dialog forms) can be easily displayed using a right-to-left layout.

About Text Control

TX Text Control adds repeating headers

Fri, 07 Jan 2011 17:11:00 GMT

Defining table frame and color properties.

TX Text Control ActiveX V16.0 also adds new spell checker interface and new page rendering engine.

TX Text Control ActiveX features the ability to export all documents can be exported to print-ready Adobe PDF documents without any third-party software. The fully programmable component supports nested tables, document sections, images, text frames, drag and drop, headers and footers, bulleted and numbered lists and MS Word compatible mail merge fields for database applications. Typical applications include mail merge, PDF creation, document conversion or WYSIWYG word processing.

The following editions are available:

Updates in V16

New Repeating Table Headers
Tables are often used to display large amounts of data, for example in a sales report. As the maximum length of a table on any one page can only be the maximum height of the page (minus margins and headers and footers), it is necessary to divide the table every time a page break occurs. As of TX Text Control ActiveX 16.0, any row in a table can be automatically added to the top of each table, right after a page break has occurred. This new feature ensures that tables always have a table header on every page, regardless of how long they may become. Table headers may contain any formatting, text or images that are available in any other cell of a table. Therefore, it is possible, for example, to add a corporate logo to the top left cell of a long table on every page, while the others header cells contain bold textual information.

New Spell Checker Interface
TX Text Control ActiveX 16.0 provides an entirely new generic spell checker interface that allows any 3rd partly spell checking component to be easily integrated into a TX Text Control based application. The TextControl.SpellCheckText event occurs, if the text of a document has been altered and the spelling of the new text needs to be checked. The event handler receives an argument, which contains data that is related to this event. TX Text Control ActiveX 16.0 underlines these misspelled words automatically. Misspelled words are added to the MisspelledWordPositions array, which can be used to manipulate the misspelled words in a document's text (remove, get item). This is particularly useful to create your own spell check dialog.

Extended User Interface
New buttons have been added to TXButtonBar, which can be used to:

Grow and shrink the font sizes of all selected fonts.
Increase or decrease the left indent of all the selected paragraphs.

Corresponding methods have been added to TXTextControl to provide this functionality from programming code:

GrowFont
ShrinkFont
IncreaseIndent
DecreaseIndent

Page Rendering Engine
The new page rendering engine allows a graphical representation of a page to be saved as a Visual Basic compatible Picture object. Exported pages can be converted into a number of other formats, such as JPG, GIF, PNG, BMP, WMF, EMF, TIFF or ICO. The layout of the exported page image is exactly the same as that of the printed document or PDF. A typical application for this new functionality would be to generate thumbnails of all the pages in a document or to display a page-orientated view of a document in a web browser or mobile device.

About The Imaging Source

The Imaging Source was founded in Germany in 1991 under the name DBS (Digitale Bildverarbeitung und Systementwicklung). A few months after opening a branch in Charlotte, NC, USA, the company changed its name to The Imaging Source to address a worldwide market. The Imaging Source has been developing TX Text Control since its inception in 1991, but an equally important part of the company's expertise, which is reflected in the name, is the creation of complete imaging systems.
