Enhance Code Readability with Smart Indentation

March 8, 2024
AlterNET Studio v9.5.2 adds smart indentation support for C/C++, Java, Lua, PowerShell, and R LSP parsers, saving time and boosting maintainability.

AlterNET Studio is a development toolkit designed specifically for .NET developers building Windows Forms or WPF applications. It provides a suite of components that integrate seamlessly into your applications, offering functionalities like advanced code editing with features akin to Microsoft Visual Studio, scripting capabilities in various languages for extending application logic, and a visual form designer for crafting user interfaces.

The AlterNET Studio v9.5.2 update brings a significant improvement for developers working with C/C++, Java, Lua, PowerShell, and R code with the introduction of smart indentation support for their respective LSP parsers. This new feature ensures that indentation is automatically adjusted based on the code structure, enhancing readability and maintainability. By automating indentation, developers can focus on writing logic and functionality rather than manually managing indentation levels, which can be especially time-consuming and error-prone in complex codebases.

Optimize File Size for Accessible PDFs

March 7, 2024
PDF4NET 14 adds a new structure compression feature for PDF/UA files, allowing for smaller file sizes and easier access to information.

PDF4NET is a .NET library for generating, importing, and manipulating PDF documents on the fly from any .NET application. It does not rely on any Adobe products for creating or importing PDF files. PDF4NET hides the complex structure of PDF files behind a simple object model that allows creation of complex PDF files with a few lines of code.

PDF4NET 14 adds support for PDF structure compression when saving PDF/UA files. Portable Document Format/Universal Accessibility (ISO 14289) is an international standard that addresses accessibility concerns in Portable Document Format (PDF) files. It ensures that PDFs can be readily understood and utilized by individuals with disabilities who rely on assistive technologies like screen readers. Compressing the structure leads to smaller file sizes, boosting upload and download speeds, and reducing required disk space.
