Otimize a exibição em grade em projetos .NET

Janeiro 6, 2026
A expansão de coluna distribui o espaço de forma uniforme, permitindo que as grades .NET se ajustem a qualquer largura de contêiner, sem necessidade de redimensionamento manual.

Data grids with column spanning functionality can be configured so the columns collectively extend to fill the entire width of the container, eliminating unused or empty space at the grid's edges. This behavior ensures that available horizontal space is distributed across columns rather than leaving fixed-width gaps, resulting in a more balanced and visually consistent layout. The primary benefits are improved readability, more efficient use of screen space, and a layout that adapts smoothly to resizing and different display sizes without requiring manual adjustment of individual column widths.

Several .NET grid components allow column spanning, including:

  • DevExpress WinForms Data Grid (part of DevExpress WinForms) allows columns to stretch across the container width, eliminating edge whitespace automatically.
  • ComponentOne .NET MAUI FlexGrid (part of ComponentOne WinUI and MAUI Edition by MESCIUS) distributes column widths to fully occupy available container space responsively.
  • Xceed DataGrid for WPF by Xceed Software facilitates automatic column width stretching so grids fill their containers without leaving unused margins during resizing.
  • Blazorise allows you to build grid layouts where columns expand to fill container width, ensuring consistent spacing responsively across devices.

Visualize métricas claramente em uma grade de dados estruturada

Dezembro 30, 2025
O LightningChart Python v2.1 adiciona uma nova grade de dados que apresenta dados visuais de KPIs, métricas e tendências nas células, em uma única visualização totalmente personalizável.

LightningChart Python is a high-performance visualization library designed for real-time analytics and large-scale data rendering. Utilizing GPU acceleration and WebGL, it efficiently processes millions of data points in 2D and 3D with smooth, interactive visuals. Some example chart types include Line graphs, Scatter plots, Heatmaps, Area plots, Box plots, 3D Surface graphs and Mesh plots, and it supports UI elements such as CustomTicks, interval Bands and Constant Lines. It integrates with Python’s data ecosystem, including numpy, pandas, and GUI frameworks like PyQt and PySide, making it a powerful tool for interactive dashboards, financial analytics, scientific simulations, and engineering applications.

The LightningChart Python v2.1 update introduces a new DataGrid component that allows software developers to present metrics, KPIs, and trend information in a single, structured view, combining textual data, numeric values, and compact in-cell charts. By embedding visual context such as sparklines, markers, and thresholds directly within the grid, developers can deliver clearer, more actionable insights without relying on separate chart components. The DataGrid also provides extensive control over styling, enabling consistent integration with existing application designs while reducing the effort required to build and maintain custom data presentation solutions.

To see a full list of what's new in v2.1, see our release notes.

LightningChart Python offers two licensing options: the subscription-based Data Scientist License for internal, non-public facing usage and the perpetual, per-seat Software Developer License for commercial use with professional support and deployment keys. Both licenses allow one active session per user, with developer licenses assigned individually. See our LightningChart Python licensing page for full details.

Converta rapidamente documentos de Word para PDF

Dezembro 30, 2025
Crie PDFs profissionais prontos para impressão, com a conversão confiável de Word para PDF que preserva a formatação e oferece exibição consistente em todos os dispositivos.

Converting Word to PDF involves transforming DOC or DOCX documents into a fixed, universally supported format that preserves formatting, layout, fonts, and images. This process ensures documents display consistently across different devices, operating systems, and applications, regardless of whether the recipient has Microsoft Word installed. By reducing the risk of unintended edits and layout changes, PDF output provides a more secure and professional way to share finalized content. Typical use cases include distributing reports, proposals, and contracts, preparing documents for printing, sharing files with external stakeholders, and archiving important records for long-term storage or compliance purposes.

Several .NET components offer Word to PDF conversion including:

  • DevExpress PDF Document API for .NET (part of DevExpress Office File API) lets you convert Word documents to PDFs while preserving layout, fonts, consistency accurately.
  • ImageGear for .NET lets you convert Word files into PDFs optimized for viewing, printing, archiving, and long-term document preservation needs.
  • GroupDocs.Conversion for .NET facilitates Word to PDF conversion, maintaining document structure, visual accuracy, and cross-device compatibility.
  • IronPDF for .NET allows you to transform DOC and DOCX files into reliable PDFs with consistent formatting across platforms.

Automatize cálculos com fórmulas integradas

Dezembro 30, 2025
Realize análises precisas mais rapidamente com fórmulas e funções integradas para cálculos matemáticos, estatísticos, financeiros e lógicos em planilhas.

Formula and function support in spreadsheets enables users to perform mathematical, statistical, financial, and logical calculations directly within cells, transforming raw data into meaningful results. By automating calculations and ensuring consistent logic across datasets, this capability improves accuracy, saves time, and supports real-time updates as data changes. It allows users to analyze trends, validate data, and model scenarios without relying on external tools. Common use cases include financial forecasting, budgeting, statistical analysis, performance reporting, and operational planning, making spreadsheets a powerful and flexible platform for data-driven decision-making across business, finance, and technical teams.

Several Vue spreadsheet controls offer formula and function support including:

  • Wijmo Vue Spreadsheet (part of Wijmo by MESCIUS) lets you use Excel-style formulas and functions for accurate calculations, real-time updates, and data analysis.
  • Jspreadsheet Pro allows you to apply powerful spreadsheet formulas and functions to automate calculations, validate data, and analyze datasets efficiently.
  • Syncfusion Vue Spreadsheet (part of Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise) facilitates complex computations with built-in formula and function support for financial modeling, statistical analysis, and dynamic reporting.

Capture o conteúdo de PDF através do visualizador

Dezembro 30, 2025
Permita que os aplicativos extraiam regiões e blocos de texto selecionados pelo usuário diretamente de documentos PDF, alinhando os dados recuperados com interações visíveis na tela.

Extracting content using a PDF Viewer refers to enabling end users or applications to select and retrieve content directly through the viewer’s user interface, based on interactive actions such as text selection, area selection, or page-level capture. For software developers, this means the viewer acts not only as a rendering surface but also as a controlled extraction layer that exposes selected text, images, or regions. This approach is valuable in review, approval, and data capture scenarios because it reflects explicit user intent, aligns extracted data with what is visibly selected on screen, and avoids reliance on background parsing alone, resulting in more predictable and user-driven content retrieval within applications.

Several WinForms PDF Viewer components allow content extraction, including:

  • DevExpress WinForms PDF Viewer (part of DevExpress WinForms) allows you to extract user-selected text and visual regions directly through the PDF viewer.
  • Telerik UI for WinForms PDF Viewer (part of Telerik UI for WinForms) allows you to capture visually selected PDF content in the viewer, returning text aligned with user interactions.
  • PDFView4NET Windows Forms Edition by PDF4DEV Solutions facilitates extracting text, images, and regions directly from its PDF viewer based on  user selections.
  • Syncfusion WinForms PDF Viewer (part of Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise) lets you retrieve user-selected PDF text and areas via the viewer.
