ComponentOne Studio ASP.NET Web Forms Edition Releases

• Enhanced Selection and Performance tuning API’s for FlexGrid - Adds Microsoft Excel-like multi-range selection for FlexGrid, with new SelectionMode called MultiRange to support this behaviour. This allows users to hold down ctrl (or command) + select multiple ranges of cells in FlexGrid. You can use the new selectedRanges property, which gets an array containing CellRange objects that contain the currently selected ranges. Additionally, new APIs have been added for when you want to tune performance for rarer scenarios.
• FlexSheet gets AutoFill - The AutoFill feature allows users to fill selected cells based on pattern, exactly like in Microsoft Excel. This feature is enabled by setting the AllowAutoFill property.
• New Chart Types added to FlexChart - Adds new Step, StepSymbol and StepArea charts, these charts are useful to display any type of data that has changes at irregular intervals of time, for example, interest rates vs time.
• Microsoft .NET Core 3.0 support for MVC and Web API - All ASP.NET MVC Core controls are now compatible with Microsoft .NET Core 3.0, the packages are available on nuget.org. Also adds .NET Core support for Excel, BarCode, DataEngine and Cloud Web API’s. These are now beta and expected to be production ready by next release. These Web API’s support both Microsoft .NET Core 2.2 and Core 3.0, with packages available on nuget.org.

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.

FlexPie for ASP.NET 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.

ASP.NET Web API Now Has CRUD Support for Cloud Storage

• Added built-in support for CRUD operations for the following cloud storage services: Azure, AWS (Amazon Web Services), DropBox, and Google Drive. You can use the API to list, upload, download, and delete files from these services.
