Abilita la distribuzione del server MCP pronto per la rete

Marzo 2, 2026

MCP SDK aggiunge il supporto al trasporto HTTP e HTTPS permettendo ai server MCP di collegare i client LLM tra ambienti distribuiti.

MCP SDK (included in Red Carpet Subscription) is a developer-focused library that reduces the complexity of implementing MCP (Model-Context-Protocol) servers and clients. Built around an event-driven API, it enables large language models (LLMs) to interact with your application logic - retrieving data, invoking tools, executing predefined operations, or following structured prompts.

The latest MCP SDK release adds full support for HTTP and HTTPS transport, giving developers more options for deploying MCP servers in modern, distributed architectures. With network-based connectivity, Large Language Model (LLM) clients can securely connect to MCP servers across environments, making it easier to integrate AI capabilities into cloud-native and multi-service systems. The included MCPServer component simplifies the process of building servers that link LLMs such as Claude to custom data sources, internal services, and application logic, helping teams extend AI functionality into real-world processes with minimal friction.

To see a full list of what's new in Red Carpet Subscription Vol. 1 2026, see our release notes.

MCP SDK is available as part of Red Carpet Subscription which is licensed per developer and is available as a Perpetual License with a 12 month support and maintenance subscription. See our Red Carpet Subscription licensing page for full details.

Semplifica set di dati di grandi dimensioni con l'ordinamento dei fogli di calcolo

Febbraio 19, 2026

Consenti un'organizzazione e un'analisi efficiente dei dati grazie a un sistema di ordinamento dei fogli di calcolo ad alte prestazioni che offre un controllo preciso e multilivello.

Data sorting in a spreadsheet is the process of arranging data in a specific order such as alphabetically, numerically, or by date based on one or more columns. It enables users and developers to quickly organize large datasets, improve readability, and surface meaningful insights such as top performing products, recent transactions, or lowest inventory levels. By supporting multi level sorting, for example by region and then by revenue, spreadsheets maintain row integrity while delivering structured and analysis ready views of data. Common use cases include ranking sales performance, organizing customer lists, managing financial records, preparing reports, and enhancing interactive data grids within business applications.

Several .NET WinForms spreadsheet controls allow you to sort data, including:

DevExpress WinForms Spreadsheet (part of DevExpress WinForms) lets you implement advanced data sorting with multi column control while preserving row relationships.
Telerik UI for WinForms Spreadsheet (part of Telerik UI for WinForms) allows you to sort spreadsheet data dynamically, enabling structured views and responsive organization.
MindFusion.Spreadsheet for WinForms facilitates customizable data sorting within spreadsheets, helping developers arrange content logically.
Syncfusion WinForms Spreadsheet (part of Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise) performs efficient data sorting across large datasets, ensuring accuracy and flexibility.
