All New Component Libraries
Rich Text Editor for ASP.NET 2.0
 |
| This new control allows you to incorporate rich text editing capabilities into your web sites. This initial release implements all the basic text formatting features, fully supports embedded images and provides two text editing modes - WYSIWYG and HTML code editing. The user interface in this editor is built entirely with controls from the ASPxperience Suite, including a brand new ASPxUploadControl used to embed images. Learn more >> |
TreeView-Grid Hybrid for ASP.NET 2.0
 |
| This new control combines the capabilities of tree and grid components. allowing you to build trees with arbitrary data layout within its nodes. From building a simple tree view for web site navigation to visualizing conversations on forums, the ASPxTreeList frees you to deliver the very best possible end-user experience. Performance and lightweight rendering are the main features of all our web controls. As such, the ASPxTreeList Suite implements numerous performance optimization features - from callback-based data paging to loading child nodes on demand and even partial control update via AJAX callbacks. This initial release doesn't support data editing and can be used for data display and/or web site navigation, which will be enough for the majority of usage scenarios. Learn more >> |
Spelling Checker for ASP.NET 2.0
 |
|
The ASPxSpellChecker provides you a straightforward way in which to add Microsoft® Office® style spell checking capabilities into your next ASP.NET application. With this control, you need a single line of code to check text within an individual text editor or within all controls in a specified container. When an error is encountered, you can review it and take necessary actions using a Microsoft Outlook style dialog that is built with controls from the ASPxperience Suite and thus will seamlessly integrate into your application's UI.

Windows Forms Skinning Library
New Skin Options for Windows Forms Controls
We've added three new skins to our Windows Forms product line - they include the Holiday, McSkin, and Valentine's Day skins.
Common Changes Across Our ASP.NET Controls
Consistent Theme Library
In previous releases, each control had a few built-in Themes, but there was no common set of visual styles supported thoughout our entire library. To address this problem, we selected the 10 most popular styles and made certain they are now supported throughout our entire ASP.NET product line. These styles are:
Tag <themes> not implemented Tag <themes> not implemented
We've updated all our online demos, so you can easily switch Themes in any module. So if you want to see a control with a particular style applied, run the desired demo and use the combo box at the top.
