Riassumi i set di dati con tabelle pivot integrate

Gennaio 6, 2026
Spread.NET v19 aggiunge un motore di tabelle pivot che permette agli utenti di riassumere, analizzare ed esplorare grandi set di dati direttamente all'interno del foglio di calcolo.

Spread.NET by MESCIUS is a tool for building Excel-like applications in your .NET projects. It lets you create interactive spreadsheets, grids, dashboards, and even forms within WinForms, ASP.NET, and WPF applications. With its rich feature set, including a robust calculation engine, formula support, and Excel compatibility, Spread.NET helps developers to build data analysis tools, budgeting apps, scientific dashboards, and more, all within the familiar .NET environment.

The Spread.NET v19 update introduces a new pivot table engine that enables software developers to summarize, analyze, and explore large datasets directly within WinForms applications. This built-in capability supports interactive grouping, filtering, and multidimensional analysis inside the spreadsheet, allowing users to work with complex data without exporting it to external reporting or business intelligence tools. By delivering Excel-like pivot table functionality with high performance and programmatic control, the pivot engine helps developers simplify application architecture, reduce dependencies, and provide a more integrated and responsive data analysis experience for end users.

Ottimizza la visualizzazione della griglia nei progetti .NET

Gennaio 6, 2026
L'estensione su più colonne distribuisce lo spazio in modo uniforme, consentendo alle griglie .NET di adattarsi perfettamente a qualsiasi larghezza del contenitore senza necessità di ridimensionamento manuale.

Data grids with column spanning functionality can be configured so the columns collectively extend to fill the entire width of the container, eliminating unused or empty space at the grid's edges. This behavior ensures that available horizontal space is distributed across columns rather than leaving fixed-width gaps, resulting in a more balanced and visually consistent layout. The primary benefits are improved readability, more efficient use of screen space, and a layout that adapts smoothly to resizing and different display sizes without requiring manual adjustment of individual column widths.

Several .NET grid components allow column spanning, including:

  • DevExpress WinForms Data Grid (part of DevExpress WinForms) allows columns to stretch across the container width, eliminating edge whitespace automatically.
  • ComponentOne .NET MAUI FlexGrid (part of ComponentOne WinUI and MAUI Edition by MESCIUS) distributes column widths to fully occupy available container space responsively.
  • Xceed DataGrid for WPF by Xceed Software facilitates automatic column width stretching so grids fill their containers without leaving unused margins during resizing.
  • Blazorise allows you to build grid layouts where columns expand to fill container width, ensuring consistent spacing responsively across devices.

Converti rapidamente i documenti Word in PDF

Dicembre 30, 2025
Crea PDF professionali pronti per la stampa con conversione affidabile da Word a PDF che preservi la formattazione e la visualizzazione in modo coerente su tutti i dispositivi.

Converting Word to PDF involves transforming DOC or DOCX documents into a fixed, universally supported format that preserves formatting, layout, fonts, and images. This process ensures documents display consistently across different devices, operating systems, and applications, regardless of whether the recipient has Microsoft Word installed. By reducing the risk of unintended edits and layout changes, PDF output provides a more secure and professional way to share finalized content. Typical use cases include distributing reports, proposals, and contracts, preparing documents for printing, sharing files with external stakeholders, and archiving important records for long-term storage or compliance purposes.

Several .NET components offer Word to PDF conversion including:

  • DevExpress PDF Document API for .NET (part of DevExpress Office File API) lets you convert Word documents to PDFs while preserving layout, fonts, consistency accurately.
  • ImageGear for .NET lets you convert Word files into PDFs optimized for viewing, printing, archiving, and long-term document preservation needs.
  • GroupDocs.Conversion for .NET facilitates Word to PDF conversion, maintaining document structure, visual accuracy, and cross-device compatibility.
  • IronPDF for .NET allows you to transform DOC and DOCX files into reliable PDFs with consistent formatting across platforms.

Acquisisci contenuti PDF tramite il visualizzatore

Dicembre 30, 2025
Abilita le app per estrarre testi e aree selezionati dall'utente direttamente dai documenti PDF, allineando i dati recuperati con interazioni visibili sullo schermo.

Extracting content using a PDF Viewer refers to enabling end users or applications to select and retrieve content directly through the viewer’s user interface, based on interactive actions such as text selection, area selection, or page-level capture. For software developers, this means the viewer acts not only as a rendering surface but also as a controlled extraction layer that exposes selected text, images, or regions. This approach is valuable in review, approval, and data capture scenarios because it reflects explicit user intent, aligns extracted data with what is visibly selected on screen, and avoids reliance on background parsing alone, resulting in more predictable and user-driven content retrieval within applications.

Several WinForms PDF Viewer components allow content extraction, including:

  • DevExpress WinForms PDF Viewer (part of DevExpress WinForms) allows you to extract user-selected text and visual regions directly through the PDF viewer.
  • Telerik UI for WinForms PDF Viewer (part of Telerik UI for WinForms) allows you to capture visually selected PDF content in the viewer, returning text aligned with user interactions.
  • PDFView4NET Windows Forms Edition by PDF4DEV Solutions facilitates extracting text, images, and regions directly from its PDF viewer based on  user selections.
  • Syncfusion WinForms PDF Viewer (part of Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise) lets you retrieve user-selected PDF text and areas via the viewer.

Confronta e passa da una chat AI all'altra

Dicembre 30, 2025
DevExpress WinForms 25.2 ti consente di passare facilmente da un servizio AI all'altro e confrontarne i risultati senza uscire dalla tua applicazione.

DevExpress WinForms is a comprehensive suite of 190+ UI controls and development tools designed for building high-performance desktop applications.
