ComponentOne Studio WPF 2019 v2

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.

Icon Classes for Modern Apps

• The new C1Icon is a set of classes which generate monochromatic icons that can be tinted and resized easily, without all the pain points that bitmap-based icons have. These icons are used internally in some controls, such as the new Ribbon for WinForms, where users are able to specify different icons through the API. C1Icon sources can be fonts, vectors (path or SVG), and images. C1Icon is supported in WinForms, WPF and UWP.

FlexPie for WPF 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.

RichTextBox for WPF Gets a Simplified Ribbon Toolbar

• Improved the ribbon-style toolbar to support a simplified look-and-feel based off the latest Microsoft Office UI. The ribbon toolbar can be expanded and collapsed just like the ribbon in Microsoft Office.
