ComponentOne Studio WinForms 2019 v2

Support for .NET Framework 4.5.2

• This release continues to update ComponentOne Studio components to support the latest .NET Framework. Microsoft has ended support for .NET 4.5.1, and based upon feedback from an earlier survey, it was decided to update all ComponentOne .NET controls to .NET 4.5.2. This release updates all WinForms and ASP.NET (MVC and Web Forms) controls. GrapeCity will finish updating WPF controls by the next release in November.
• Starting with 2019 v2, .NET 4.5.2 will be the lowest supported framework for the controls. This means that all new features and new controls will be exclusive to .NET 4.5.2, however, GrapeCity will continue to maintain the 4.0 version of the controls for one year until 2020 v2.

Office 365 Ribbon for WinForms (beta)

• The new Ribbon for WinForms is built on .NET 4.5.2 and it's based on UI concepts of Office 365. With it you'll enjoy:
  • New simplified view when the ribbon is collapsed.
  • 20+ embedded controls including buttons, progress bars, updated galleries and more.
  • Enhanced set of embedded images for buttons along with support for font and vector-based icons.
  • A backstage view and status bar component.
• Users of the old ribbon will be pleased to know that the new ribbon also supports the same 40+ themes, or they can customize one using the C1ThemeController.

Icon Classes for Modern Apps

• The new C1Icon is a set of classes which generate monochromatic icons that can be tinted and resized easily, without all the pain points that bitmap-based icons have. These icons are used internally in some controls, such as the new Ribbon for WinForms, where users are able to specify different icons through the API. C1Icon sources can be fonts, vectors (path or SVG), and images. C1Icon is supported in WinForms, WPF and UWP.

FlexGrid for WinForms Enhancements

• Column Footers Enable Fixed Column Summaries - The popular FlexGrid for WinForms now supports column footers. The footer row can be fixed or scrollable as the last row in the grid. Within the footer you can easily show aggregates like sum, average, min, max, etc. Footers can also show values based on expressions, such as calculations based on several columns (ie, a grand total). This feature comes with full design-time support to configure the column footers with expressions and captions.
• Now You can Use Custom Expressions in Subtotal Groups - With FlexGrid for WinForms, it is now finally possible to use custom expressions as subtotals in groups along with aggregates. For example, a group expression can contain a total, such as sum(product(quantity, price)).
• FlexPivot for WinForms Supports Group Ranges - ComponentOne FlexPivot for WinForms now supports group ranges for fields. Grouped ranges allow for custom grouping of data into binned ranges, such as Ages 10-20, Ages 21-39, Ages 40-59+, or you can now create yearly quarter groups with just a simple date field. You can create grouped ranges based upon string, numeric and date fields. Once the grouped ranges are created, users can also filter upon these ranges to further enhance their pivot views.

FlexPie for WinForms Supports Multiple Pie Series

• You can now use FlexPie to visualize more of your data in a single chart by creating multiple pie chart "series" using the same data source. To create multiple pie chart series, specify several comma-separated properties in FlexPie.binding. This feature is now supported in the WinForms, WPF, ASP.NET MVC, and UWP versions of FlexChart.

FlexChart for WinForms Custom Data Filter Sample

• This release adds a new sample that demonstrates using a FlexChart inside a DataFilter control as a custom filter. The sample displays open, high, low, close, and volume of a stock, and it lets you filter these values by showing the values in different charts over a period of time within the data filter. You can choose to filter the data by clicking on data points, adjust the time period by using the range bar, and filter the range selection by dragging the mouse. You can see this sample in action by downloading the WinForms Edition Samples.
