Add Indicators to Highlight Trends in Blazor Charts

December 10, 2025
Enhance data interpretation by overlaying calculated trends and thresholds directly onto your visualizations.

Indicators in a chart component are visual tools used to represent specific statistical or mathematical calculations directly on the chart, often to highlight trends, patterns, or key thresholds within the underlying data. Common in financial and analytical applications, indicators can include elements like moving averages, Bollinger Bands, or threshold lines. For software developers, implementing indicators provides a powerful way to enhance data interpretation by allowing users to see meaningful context and actionable insights without needing to leave the chart interface. This improves decision-making and supports more interactive and informative visualizations across a wide range of use cases.

Several .NET Blazor charting controls support indicators including:

  • TeeChart .NET for Blazor by Steema Software lets you embed over 50 financial and statistical indicators directly into interactive Blazor charts.
  • NOV Chart for .NET by Nevron allows you to apply a full suite of financial, trend and statistical indicators on 2D/3D charts, supporting large‑scale data rendering.
  • Infragistics Ignite UI for Blazor Chart (part of Infragistics Ignite UI) lets developers overlay trend lines and data‑analysis overlays on its 65+ chart types.
  • Syncfusion Blazor Charts (part of Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise) allows integration of analytical overlays such as trendlines and reference markers to enrich chart data.

Refine Your Writing with AI-Powered Precision

December 9, 2025
ONLYOFFICE Docs v9.2 adds AI integrated grammar and spelling checks that help you produce polished, accurate documents with ease.

ONLYOFFICE Docs is a comprehensive online editor, allowing users to create text documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and forms. It enables your users to edit, share, and collaborate on documents online in their preferred browser, within your own application. It is fully compatible with OOXML (Office Open XML) formats and supports popular Microsoft Office and other document formats such as CSV, DOC, DOCX, EPUB, HTML, ODP, ODS, ODT, PDF, PPT, PPTX, RTF, TXT, XLS, and XLSX.

The ONLYOFFICE Docs v9.2 update integrates AI-powered spell and grammar checking, now available directly through the AI plugin, so developers can review and refine documentation without leaving their editing environment. This reduces the time spent on proofreading and eliminates the need to rely on separate tools or browser extensions for basic language quality checks. As a result, development teams can keep their documentation professional and easy to understand while staying focused on implementation, code quality, and delivery timelines.

To see a full list of what's new in v9.2.0, see our release notes.

ONLYOFFICE Docs Developer Edition is licensed by the number of simultaneous document connections and is available as an annual license with 1 year support and upgrades. See our ONLYOFFICE Docs Developer Edition licensing page for full details.

Adjust and Manage Grid Layouts Easily

December 9, 2025
Row and column features let users shape how information is displayed, giving them more control when working with grid data.

Row and column features form the core of modern grid components, enabling users to view, navigate, and manipulate tabular data efficiently. These capabilities improve usability and help developers present information in a structured, interactive format suited to many types of applications. By offering clear ways to organise, edit, and inspect information, row and column features allow users to work more effectively while maintaining control over how content is displayed.

Common features include:

  • Context menus offer quick access to actions such as editing, sorting, and column management.
  • Copying and pasting allows users to transfer data easily between grid cells or external applications.
  • Drag-and-drop supports intuitive rearrangement of rows or columns.
  • Expanding / resizing columns gives users the ability to adjust column width for better readability.
  • Freezing columns keeps key data visible while scrolling horizontally.
  • Hiding columns helps users focus on the most relevant information.
  • Reordering columns provides flexible control over layout and viewing preferences.
  • Row editing enables direct in-grid modifications to data values.
  • Selecting rows allows users to highlight, group, or operate on multiple records at once.

Enable Secure Communication with TLS Support

December 9, 2025
Ensure encrypted communication across networks by enabling TLS (Transport Layer Security) support in your internet-connected apps.

TLS support in an internet component refers to the implementation of Transport Layer Security, a protocol that encrypts data exchanged between systems over a network. For software developers, this ensures that data sent and received by the component is protected against eavesdropping, tampering, and forgery, which is essential for maintaining secure communications in modern applications. By using TLS, developers can meet compliance requirements, safeguard user information, and build trust in the integrity of their applications' network interactions.

Several Comms & Messaging components for .NET offer TLS support including:

  • IPWorks .NET Edition by /n software lets you build internet‑connected components where all traffic is encrypted via TLS across protocols like HTTP, FTP, SMTP, and WebSockets
  • Rebex TLS allows .NET applications to establish secure TLS connections on modern and legacy platforms, handling certificates, ciphers, and protocol negotiation transparently.
  • Clever Internet .NET Suite for C#, VB.NET, ASP.NET enables encrypted data exchange over standard protocols to ensure confidentiality and protect data in transit.
  • SocketTools .NET Edition by Catalyst Development Corp. supports secure TLS channels for client‑server communications, ensuring encrypted data transmission.
