Updates in this release

Updates in 2011 v2


Xceed DataGrid for Silverlight

  • Fixed group headers and footers have been added - These allow developers to incorporate sections of "must-see" information into each group, which remain visible at all times, including when the containing group is collapsed
  • Also, 14 statistical functions, which are natural candidates for display in the fixed group headers/footers, have been added.
  • Blend support has been greatly improved to let designers take full advantage of the product
  • Custom data sources are now easier to implement, and support for SQL databases and remote lists has been added.
  • Thanks to changes in the control's API, many of the features equivalent to those found in the stock Silverlight control are much more easy to configure
  • Other new features include copy-paste to Excel, the addition of SelectedItem and SelectedItems properties for use with local data, improvements to item selection, the implementation of several properties present in the WPF datagrid, and easy localization and display of filter cell operators. Also, the detail information of groups (e.g., item count, list of items) is now available for group headers and footers (local data).
  • A new theme (JetPack) has been added.

Xceed Ultimate ListBox for Silverlight

  • Includes benefits from improvements to the product's support of custom data sources, which are now easier to implement.
  • Support for SQL databases and remote lists has also been added.

Xceed's compression products (for the .NET, .NET CF, and Silverlight platforms) and the .NET FTP component have been updated

  • PPMd is now implemented in fully managed C#. This has allowed Xceed to make several improvements in their compression products.
  • Xceed Zip for .NET with Self-Extractor, Xceed Zip for .NET, and Xceed Real-Time Zip for .NET are now fully compatible with 64-bit Windows systems.
  • The PPMd compression algorithm -- previously only available in the .NET products -- is now also available in Xceed Zip for .NET Compact Framework, Xceed Real-Time Zip for .NET CF, and Xceed Real-Time Zip for Silverlight.
  • The default buffer size in Xceed's FileSystem products has improved speed in certain situations. (Affects Xceed Zip for .NET, Xceed Zip for .NET with SFX, and Xceed FTP for .NET.)
  • The built-in AES encryption methods available in .NET (3.5 and up) can now be used, which results in faster AES encryption.
