All New Component Libraries

Scheduling/Planning/Calendar Suite for ASP.NET 2.0

Our ASP.NET product line has been extended with the ASPxScheduler Suite. Built and optimized for ASP.NET 2, the ASPxScheduler Suite includes all the tools you will need to create stunning web applications that mimic the capabilities found in Microsoft Outlook. The ASPxScheduler Suite offers you five different view types, multiple resources displays, event recurrence support, advanced date navigator, built-in editor dialogs and popup menus. All these features have been built on top of our core ASP.NET library, thus providing lightweight rendering and high responsiveness via AJAX callbacks.

The ASPxScheduler Suite is comprised of multiple components including the Scheduler and Date Navigator along with smaller data editors used in built-in dialogs.

Layout View

With the release of version v2007 vol 3, our WinForms Grid Control introduces a new data representation format - Layout View. Like the Card View, this View type displays data records as cards. The difference is that it allows to present data more compactly. You can freely customize field layout and thus use form space more effectively. The Card View, on the other hand, simply arranges fields one under another.

The following field arrangement features are supported by the Layout View:

• Fields can be freely arranged into any number of rows and columns.
• Fields can span over several adjacent fields.
• Fields can be combined into groups, as if they were added to a group box.
• Empty regions can be added to cards, if required.

The Layout View can display a single card centered within the view, as well as multiple cards arranged into columns and rows.

The Layout View's features are powered by the comprehensive layout management library used in the XtraLayoutControl Suite. Note, however, that not all the layout customization features have been adopted for use in Layout View. Some features like end-user layout customization and tabbed groups aren't yet supported by the XtraGrid, but will certainly be implemented in forthcoming updates.
