Encontre texto rapidamente em qualquer documento PDF

Outubro 10, 2025
Localize rapidamente palavras ou frases em documentos PDF usando opções de pesquisa flexíveis para melhorar a navegação e a revisão de conteúdo.

A text search feature in a PDF component allows developers to programmatically locate specific words or phrases within a PDF document. This functionality typically supports options such as case sensitivity, whole word matching, and navigation between search results. It is particularly useful in applications where users need to quickly identify and interact with relevant content in large or complex documents. By enabling this feature, developers can enhance the user experience in document viewing or editing environments, reduce manual search effort, and support features like text highlighting, annotation, or content extraction for further processing.

Several .NET WPF PDF components offer text searching including:

  • Telerik UI PDF for WPF (part of Telerik UI for WPF) lets you search through PDF text using simple options like match case or exact words to quickly find what you need.
  • ComponentOne Studio WPF PDF (part of ComponentOne Studio WPF Edition) allows you to look for specific words or phrases in a PDF with flexible settings for more accurate results.
  • IronPDF for .NET provides a way to scan PDFs for text, helping users locate important information or sections without manually reading everything.
  • Syncfusion WPF PDF (part of Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise) enables users to search text in PDFs and see results highlighted, making it easier to review content.

Crie uma navegação avançada com Blazor Menus

Outubro 10, 2025
As bibliotecas do Blazor UI fornecem componentes de menu flexíveis com itens aninhados, personalização visual e integração em layouts da Web modernos.

Menu controls in a Blazor UI suite are user interface components that provide structured navigation through an application by organizing links or actions into hierarchical menus. These controls are particularly useful in web applications that require intuitive, accessible, and dynamic navigation elements. In Blazor, menu controls can be rendered either through server-side or WebAssembly-based components, allowing developers to build interactive menus using Razor syntax and C#. They support features like multi-level nesting, icons, templates, and binding to data sources, making them adaptable to a wide range of layouts and user experiences. Menu controls integrate smoothly with routing and layout systems, enabling developers to maintain a consistent navigation experience across the application.

Several Blazor UI suites provide Menu controls, including:

  • DevExpress ASP.NET and Blazor lets you build hierarchical menus with templates, icons, and orientation support, including a responsive layout with collapsing behavior.
  • Telerik UI for Blazor allows you to create multi-level menus with item templates, icons, and URL-based navigation that integrates with Blazor routing.
  • Nevron Open Vision for .NET provides context and ribbon menu controls for Blazor WebAssembly, with theme support, icons, checkable items, and multi-click interaction.
  • Blazorise offers a responsive Bar component that supports horizontal and vertical modes, with nested dropdowns and layout-friendly navigation options.
  • Smart UI (Smart HTML Elements) provides a dedicated Blazor Menu control with nested items, multiple display modes, rich styling, and context menu support.

Adicione comunicação em tempo real com suporte a WebSocket

Outubro 8, 2025
Habilite a comunicação rápida e bidirecional em aplicativos .NET usando conexões WebSocket seguras criadas para desempenho e necessidades de implantação modernas.

WebSocket internet protocol support in a .NET communications component enables full-duplex communication channels over a single, long-lived TCP connection. This protocol is particularly useful for scenarios requiring real-time data exchange, such as live chat applications, interactive dashboards, or financial trading platforms. Unlike traditional HTTP requests that follow a request-response pattern, WebSockets maintain an open connection, allowing servers to push updates to clients without being explicitly requested. In a .NET context, this support is typically built into libraries like ASP.NET Core or third-party components, offering developers tools to efficiently manage persistent, low-latency connections while reducing overhead compared to polling or long-polling techniques.

Several .NET Comms & Messaging components offer WebSocket including:

  • IPWorks SSL .NET Edition by /n software lets you integrate secure WebSocket (ws/wss) support with TLS 1.0–1.3, certificate management, and full-duplex data exchange.
  • Rebex WebSocket enables WebSocket clients across modern and legacy .NET platforms with full TLS 1.2/1.3, SNI, and SHA‑2 certificate support.
  • PowerWebSockets by Noemax facilitates high‑throughput, cross‑platform WebSocket communication in .NET, offering asynchronous messaging and server/client symmetry.
