ASPxHtmlEditor

• BC1444: The Plain Text export format (.txt) encoding has been changed from Encoding.Default to Encoding.UTF8.

DXDocking for WPF

• BC1449: The exception is now raised when a user tries to set the Width and Height properties for a layout item.

eXpressApp Framework

• BC1442: CriteriaPropertyEditor - The @RangeStart and @RangeEnd read-only parameters are now converted to the RangeStart and RangeEnd functions operators.

  Use the Criteria Property Editor's Text tab to type these function operator names into a criteria. To see an example, open the FeatureCenter demo application and navigate to the KPI section. Open the Definition item and click the Text tab. You will see a criteria that uses these function operators.

• BC1453: FileDataPropertyEditor.Web - A file selected via the File Upload dialog is uploaded to the server immediately after clicking the Open button

  Previously, files were uploaded to the server after executing the Save Action . Now, files are uploaded immediately.

• BC1445: LayoutGroupTemplateContainer - The IsContentVisible property has been marked obsolete as it is not used anymore

• BC1446: LayoutItemTemplateContainerBase - The Visible property value cannot be changed directly anymore.

  Add the LayoutItemTemplateContainerBase.ControlVisibilityKey key to the LayoutItemTemplateContainerBase.Visibility BoolList via the BoolList.SetItemValue method instead. For instance, replace this code:

  [C#]

  item.Visible = false;
  with:
  
  

  [C#]

  item.Visibility.SetItemValue(LayoutItemTemplateContainerBase.ControlVisibilityKey, false)

XtraCharts Suite

• BC1452: The default chart palette has been changed from Nature Colors to Office.

XtraEditors Library

• BC1456: The FilterControl.RefreshNodes method has been removed.

  There is no need to manually refresh the FilterControl's nodes. The FilterControl automatically updates nodes when relative properties are changed.

XtraReports Suite

• BC1454: The IDataDictionary interface has become obsolete.

  Use the IDisplayNameProvider interface, instead. For more information, see How to provide custom names for the Field List data items.
