Abril 15, 2026
ComponentSource and AlterNET Software have worked together for 5 years to help developers build feature rich .NET applications.

ComponentSource and AlterNET Software have built a long standing partnership focused on making advanced .NET development tools more accessible to developers worldwide. AlterNET Software provides UI controls and frameworks for code editing, scripting, and UI design, enabling developers to extend applications with custom functionality across WinForms, WPF, and other .NET platforms.

A key part of this collaboration is their product AlterNET Studio, which brings together code editing, scripting, debugging, and UI design features into a single toolkit that developers can embed directly into their applications.

Through this partnership, ComponentSource expands its range of specialized developer tools, helping it stand out beyond standard UI libraries while supporting global distribution, licensing, and access to AlterNET Software products.

Highlight Key Content in PDF Files

Abril 15, 2026
Make important text stand out in .NET WPF PDF applications with clear visual emphasis that supports review, feedback, and document readability.

Highlight text annotation in PDF WPF .NET controls is a feature that visually marks text with a colored overlay to draw attention to important content without modifying the original document. For software developers, it helps deliver clearer document review experiences by making key passages easier to identify, supporting user feedback and content emphasis, and improving readability and interaction in PDF-based business applications.

Several .NET WPF PDF components offer highlight text annotation including:

  • Telerik UI for WPF PdfProcessing (part of Telerik UI for WPF) lets you create text markup annotations that highlight important PDF passages for clearer review.
  • ImageGear for .NET by Accusoft lets you add highlight markup in WPF PDF applications, supporting visual review, annotation workflows, and document collaboration.
  • XFINIUM.PDF WPF Edition facilitates adding, editing, removing, and flattening highlight annotations, giving developers flexible control over PDF review scenarios directly.
  • Syncfusion WPF PDF (part of Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise) allows you to add, customize, and track highlight annotations, including color, opacity and author details.

Aplique expressões personalizadas com campos calculados

Abril 13, 2026
Transforme relatórios em insights significativos combinando campos, permitindo agrupamento e ordenação flexíveis e reduzindo a dependência de alterações de fonte.

Calculated fields in reports allow you to apply custom expressions to one or more data fields, enabling data to be transformed directly within the reporting environment. This makes it possible to create new metrics such as percentages, ratios, or combined values without changing the underlying data source. As a result, reporting becomes more flexible and efficient, helping users uncover deeper insights and tailor outputs to specific needs. Calculated fields can also be used to group and sort data dynamically, improving how information is organized and presented. Common use cases include calculating profit margins, creating performance indicators, and combining fields to enhance report clarity.

Several .NET reporting controls offer calculated field functionality including:

  • DevExpress Reporting lets you create calculated fields to transform data, build custom metrics, and enable flexible grouping and sorting within reports.
  • Telerik Reporting allows you to define calculated fields that combine data sources, generate meaningful insights, and enhance report organisation through grouping.
  • Stimulsoft Reports.NET facilitates calculated fields to process data using expressions, create tailored values, and improve report clarity with advanced grouping capabilities.
  • FastReport .NET WEB lets you use calculated fields to manipulate report data, derive new metrics, and organise information through custom sorting and grouping.

Organize dados com tabelas em planilhas estruturadas

Abril 10, 2026
Melhore o gerenciamento de dados com tabelas em planilha e aproveite a organização estruturada, ordenação, filtragem, cálculos consistentes e fórmulas mais claras.

Spreadsheet tables provide a structured way to organize and manage data by grouping related information into defined rows and columns with built in functionality. They enhance usability by enabling automatic sorting and filtering, consistent formula application through calculated columns, and clearer data interpretation with structured references and styling. Tables can also expand dynamically as new data is added, reducing manual updates and errors. Common use cases include managing financial records, analyzing sales performance, tracking inventory, and working with data bound to external sources, making them a powerful tool for both everyday tasks and advanced data analysis.

Several .NET spreadsheet controls offer table support including:

  • DevExpress Excel Spreadsheet API for .NET (part of DevExpress Office File API) allows you to manage spreadsheet tables with data binding and calculated columns.
  • EPPlus by EPPlus Software facilitates creation of spreadsheet tables with built in filtering, totals, and structured references to simplify data organization.
  • Infragistics Excel Framework lets you work with spreadsheet tables supporting dynamic ranges, consistent formulas, and enhanced formatting for efficient data handling.
  • Xceed Workbooks for .NET lets you create spreadsheet tables with structured data, enabling sorting, filtering, and consistent calculations across dynamic datasets.

Use gráficos Renko para destacar tendências claras

Abril 7, 2026
Foque em movimentos significativos de preços usando visuais baseados em tijolos que reduzem o ruído, facilitando a interpretação de tendências e níveis-chave.

A Renko chart is a type of price chart used in technical analysis that focuses exclusively on price movement rather than time, displaying data as a series of uniform “bricks” that form only when the market moves by a predefined amount. This structure helps filter out minor price fluctuations, making trends and reversals easier to identify while reducing visual noise and improving clarity. As a result, traders can make more informed decisions, confirm trends with greater confidence, and simplify their analysis. Renko charts are commonly used in trend-following strategies, breakout trading, and support and resistance analysis, where a clear view of sustained price direction is more valuable than tracking every small market movement.

Several .NET Chart controls offer a Renko chart including:

  • DevExpress Blazor Charts (part of DevExpress ASP.NET and Blazor) lets you create Renko charts that highlight trends, and deliver clear price movement insights.
  • ComponentOne WPF Charts (part of ComponentOne Studio WPF by MESCIUS) allows you to visualize Renko charts in desktop applications, simplifying trend analysis.
  • Nevron Chart for .NET facilitates advanced Renko charting with customizable brick sizes, enabling precise trend detection and enhanced technical analysis capabilities.
  • Syncfusion WinForms Charts (part of Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise) lets you render Renko charts that reduce market noise, and support trend-based trading strategies.
