What’s new in DXperience v2008 vol 3?

New ASP.NET Controls

Gauge Control for ASP.NET - With the release of v2008 vol 3, DXperience includes an ASP.NET-AJAX control allowing you to display gauges and digital dashboards in your web based applications. The feature set is nearly identical to that of the WinForms Gauge Control - offering ASP.NET developers over 130 ready-to-use gauge presets.

Filter Editor Control for ASP.NET (Criteria Builder) - Creating an easy-to-use filtering UI is crucial for those needing to deliver solutions that must retrieve data using complex filter conditions. In general, data-aware controls only allow a single condition per field or don't provide comprehensive filter condition lists. As such, if you want to allow your end-users to filter data without any limitations, you have two solutions, each with its own disadvantages. The first is force users to provide a filter string by entering it into a memo editor, which they aren't always capable of doing. The second of course is to provide patches to your application each time specifications change.  The new DevExpress ASP.NET Filter Editor was specifically designed to address these issues. It does not require any SQL syntax and doesn't have any limitations regarding filter condition complexity. To make filtering even easier for end-users, this control automatically suggests conditions and possible filter values for each individual field. ASPxGridView end-users can also take advantage of the grid's embedded Filter Editor – via a single click on the control's Filter Bar.

Data-bound Image Control for ASP.NET - Previously, every time you wanted to display an image from a database, you wrote a pretty standard chunk of code. Basically you needed to make certain that a request containing a record ID would return an image from the corresponding data record. This allowed you to provide a value for the SRC attribute of an IMG tag. This same process was required if you used the ASPxImage control.  With the new ASPxBinaryImage control, you don't have to write a single line of code. Simply specify the data field containing images.

Loading Panel Control for ASP.NET - With this new control, it's extremely easy to notify end-users that a time-consuming operation is in progress and the UI isn't responding at the moment. You can show this panel in any container with just a single line of code and hide it when necessary. Another display option is to make it a modal window and thus restrict access to the entire application. Though this loading panel control can be used for any kind of operation, the most common use is callback visualization.

New WinForms Controls

WinForms Alert Window Control - The XtraBars Suite allows you to build alert windows similar to those used by Microsoft Outlook to indicate that you have new mail in your inbox.

Key features include:

• Automatic fade in and fade out effects.
• Full support for the DevExpress Application Skinning (Theme) engine.
• Built-in Pin and Close buttons that allow end-users to keep an alert window on screen or close it.
• Ability to associate a popup menu with alert windows.
• Custom buttons at the bottom of alert windows.
• Formatting alert windows' text and captions using HTML tags.
• Customizable position of alert windows.
• Sticking alert windows to the screen edges.
• Quick response to clicking an alert window's text by handling an event.

New Skinning Option for Windows Forms Controls - DXperience v2008 vol 3 extends the Skinning (Application Wide Themes) with two additional visual styles. The first is the "Dark Side" offering you another version of the black UI. The Pumpkin skin extends this with Halloween themed images.

Common Changes Across All ASP.NET Controls

ASP.NET Grid View and HTML Editor for SharePoint - During the DXperience v2008 vol 3 development cycle, the ASP.NET team invested the resources necessary to enable the controls within SharePoint portals (built with both Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 and Microsoft Office SharePoint Services 2007). With this release, the controls can not only be intergrated into SharePoint pages but also provide SharePoint add-ons allowing codeless integration of the ASP.NET Grid View and HTML Editor controls. Current owners will receive a registration tool that can incorporate these controls in SharePoint portals. After registration, you can simply navigate to Site Settings to enable DevExpress features and then embed these controls where necessary.

The following codeless integration scenarios are now possible:

• Display SharePoint list data using the ASPxGridView Web Part.
• Embed an HTML editor into any page as a standalone web part.
• Use HTML editors to edit data column values in SharePoint lists.
• In MOSS 2007, use HTML editors to edit text fields.

Section 508 and Web Accessiblity Initiative (WAI) Support is now available within the ASP.NET-AJAX product line. To enable accessibility, ASP.NET controls must obviously generate more code. For instance, many elements must include links simply to allow keyboard navigation. Because of this additional HTML code, accessibility rendering is disabled by default in advanced controls like the ASPxGridView. If you don't need accessibility support in your application, you will still have optimized rendering. If you need Section 508 and WAI compliance, simply toggle a single property to enable it.

Better Localization Support - now provide an easier way to localize all built-in dialogs in the HTML Editor, spell checker and all other controls. You need only to write a few lines of code to translate your application's UI into the desired language.

Faster Page Loading – Developer Express have combined a series of smaller scripts into larger files so that fewer requests are made to the server, resulting in faster page loading.

XtraCharts Suite

• Bubble Charts - In XtraCharts v2008 vol 3, Developer Express have extended the 2D chart set with Bubble charts. This chart extends 2D Point charts with the ability to visually indicate the weight of series points by displaying bubbles of different sizes.
• Logarithmic Scale - One of the main benefits of using a chart is to offer end-users a way in which to compare data values. Generally, most chart controls are able to address this requirement successfully when depicted values are within the same range. Comparative analysis, however, falls apart when the data range has significant disparity. XtraCharts v2008 vol 3 addresses this problem via Logarithmic Scales. By enabling a single property, the chart's numerical axes displays all values using logarithmic equivalents. In short, if the logarithmic base is 10, only 5 uniform axis steps will exist between 10 and 1,000,000.
• Fibonacci Indicators for Financial Analysis - In addition to the Trend Lines introduced in v2008 vol 2, this new version allows you to display Fibonacci Indicators within your financial charts (Stock and Candle Stick). Three types of Fibonacci Indicators are now available: Arcs, Fans and Retracement.
• Additional Algorithm for Resolving Label Overlapping Issues - With v2008 vol 3, you are able to choose the most efficient algorithm possible – one that re-positions all labels or one which moves only those labels that are to be moved to resolve overlapping.
• Improved Panes - You are now able to hide the default pane. This makes it possible to prepare multiple panes with different series and then change their visibility to show only one pane at a time and implement a presentation-like sequence.
• Improved Scrolling - You are now able to specify a custom scrolling range, which is completely independent from the original axis range.
• Improved Automatic Axis Range - When adding a new series to the chart at runtime, the AxisRange.SideMarginsEnabled property will now maintain its value.

XtraReports Suite

• Immediate Preview - With this release, all report pages are built in a separate thread and are rendered to the Print Preview as soon as they are ready. If you want to stop generating a report and preview only pages that are ready at a given moment in time, or even continue editing a report, simply click Stop. Note that this feature is enabled both for previewing a document in the Print Preview and editing reports in the Visual Studio IDE or the End-User Report Designer.
• Conditional Formatting - XtraReports Suite now allows you to use Excel-style conditional formatting. With this feature, you can change the appearance of report controls or bands that satisfy a specific condition. There's a little more than just color and font settings - you can also change element visibility.
• Improved End-User Designer – The PropertyGrid control (from the XtraVerticalGrid Suite) is used for modifying control properties in the End-User Designer. The PropertyGrid control supports the Windows Forms skinning engine thus making the designer window visually consistent. Since most end-users usually don't want to know anything about data source and data adapter objects when they edit a report, you can hide the component tray. Just like data source objects, end users may not want to see the Parameters node in the Field List panel of the report designer. You can now hide Parameters from both the Property Grid and the Field List panel.
• AutoWidth for Labels - Label controls automatically determine the proper width based on content.
• Median Function - The set of built-in summary functions has been extended with the Median function, which finds the middle number within a sequence.

XtraPrinting Library

Storing Watermarks and Header/Footer Options - When a report is previewed in a Print Preview form, it is possible for end-users to insert a watermark into it, as well as add page numbers, current date/time and other information using the Header/Footer form. Once adjusted in a single report, these settings look fine. However, if end-users want to do the same for another report, they need to repeat all previously executed actions. With v2008 vol 3, you are now able to programmatically save Watermark and Header/Footer options into a file, stream or the system registry.

Improved Print Preview Form - The following changes have been made to the Print Preview Form's status bar:

• The Page Number and Page Count information items are now united with the following format: "Page X of Y".
• The progress bar, which is running when a report is being created, is now skinned and embedded into the status bar.
• There is a Stop button near the progress bar. Pressing this button terminates report generation.

XtraGauges Suite

• Digital Gauges - Two New Matrix Display Modes - Digital gauges display text or numbers in the same manner as digital LEDs. With this release, two new matrix display modes have been added to digital gauges, where each placeholder represents a matrix of dots. In these modes, all symbols enumerated by the system Lucida Console font are supported. Thus along with Latin letters, you can display any symbols from your own language alphabet. The new custom mapping feature allows you to create custom representations of specific symbols for a digital gauge:
• Custom Ranges - In numerous cases you may want to visually identify specific ranges of values along scales in circular and linear gauges. For instance, you may want to mark some safe or critical value ranges. This feature can easily be implemented via custom ranges.
• Labels - Static labels are now supported in all gauge types. You can customize the label appearance options and Z-Order. Specifying Z-Order allows a label to be positioned below or above other elements.
• New Style Schemes - Five new gauge styles have been added. In addition, complex gauge presets have been implemented that allow you to create bullet graphs, clocks and dashboards on the fly.
• Miscellaneous Features - Exporting and printing features have been introduced with this release. You can now print the GaugeControl or export it in using multiple formats via the XtraPrinting Library (sold separately).  The GaugeControl Designer has been improved, allowing easy gauge element access and manipulation (adding, deleting, cloning and renaming), moving elements between scales, saving the layout to and restoring it from an XML file.  Support for gauge element hot-tracking has been added at design time. You can hover over a gauge with a mouse to locate and select its elements. Painting algorithms have been improved giving a boost to the Gauge Control's performance.

XtraPivotGrid and ASPxPivotGrid Suites

• Improved Sorting by Summary - Sorting by summary is a very powerful data analysis feature that makes it easy to locate the best or worst performance indicators. Previously, DevExpress OLAP controls had a limitation in this area - you could only sort data by grand totals. There was also no built-in end-user UI, so you needed to write code to make this feature available to end-users. With v2008 vol 3, you can sort field values against any data column or row. You can further specify the desired sort order in code or use the built-in UI elements to offer sorting options to end-users.

XtraScheduler Suite

• Appointment Splitting - With this release, the XtraScheduler introduces a new tool allowing end-users to split an appointment in two by simply dragging a splitter line. This feature is extremely useful if you need to break a recurring appointment into two separate series. All you have to do is select the Split command from the appointment's context menu, drag the splitter to the required time and click the left mouse button. When dragging the splitter, the scheduler shows a tooltip that indicates the split time along with the splitter targeting precision. The precision is set automatically based on the appointment's duration and varies from one hour to one minute. End-users can adjust this value using the mouse wheel.

ASPxHTML Editor

• Pasting from Microsoft Word - The HTML output produced by Microsoft Word is pretty lengthy. It contains lots of attributes that aren't really required to produce the same document view. When you needed to copy text from Microsoft Word to the ASPxHTML Editor, all those unnecessary attributes were copied. With this release, the HTML Editor control allows you to automatically eliminate these extra attributes and obtain cleaner and more compact HTML code.
• Print HTML Editor Content - Printing the contents of the ASPxHTML Editor is now a piece of cake – just a single click for your end users.

ASPxperience Suite

• Static or Dynamic Validation UI - Previously, editor validation meant that there's some code rendered to keep space for the error message that could be displayed next to the editor. With v2008 vol 3, you can enable dynamic validation so that all error message related HTML code is only rendered when an error occurs.
• Upload Control Improvements - The ASPxUploadControl can now display several editors, allowing you to deliver alternative solutions for multi-file upload scenarios. There's now a built-in Upload button, so you don't have to place an additional control on the form.

eXpressApp Framework

• HTML Property Editor - XAF v2008 vol 3 introduces new Property Editors: an ASPxHtmlPropertyEditor for ASP.NET applications and HtmlPropertyEditor for Window Forms applications. The ASPxHtmlPropertyEditor creates an ASPxHtmlEditor control to edit the value of the associated property. This control allows end-users to easily edit HTML markup as a standard rich text document. The HtmlPropertyEditor enables rich text editing with an intuitive user interface similar to Microsoft® Word. In addition, this control supports HTML input. End-users can switch to the code view and edit text by manually controlling every tag and attribute. This allows them to use even those tags that are not currently supported.
• Criteria Property Editor - Previously, it was difficult for end-users to specify the criteria to be used for object filtering. For instance, the Analysis class Criteria property was displayed using the String Property Editor. This required that end-users write filter strings correctly. With v2008 vol 3, XAF ships with ASP.NET and WinForms Property Editors that are specially designed to make runtime criteria generation easier. Note that both popup and in-place editions are available.
• Accessibility (Section 508) Support - Applications that you build using the eXpressApp Framework are now Section 508 compliant.
• About Window - In v2008 vol 3, your automatically generated UI contains an About Action – which displays an About window with information on the current application. In ASP.NET applications, the information collected by the About Action is displayed in the main page in the following manner.
• Label Emphasis - Previously, to change label appearance using HTML formatting in Windows Forms applications, you had to write code. With this update, you can simply use HTML tags in the Model Editor.
• Advanced Search in Model Editor - In simple XAF applications, it is relatively easy to navigate over the Model Editor's tree. However, as the application becomes more complex and the number of Application Model nodes grows, finding the required node in the Model Editor's tree becomes a non trivial task. In this instance, the use of the newly introduced Node Search feature in the Model Editor can be quite helpful. To activate advanced Search, simply press CTRL+ALT+F.

Miscellaneous Enhancements - You can localize the text in validation windows easily, because all possible messages are now listed in the Model Editor. Previously, in the RuleValueComparison and Rule Range validation rules you could not use parameters as values to be compared with. In this release, support the use of the Read-Only Parameters – allowing you to pass parameters such ase @CurrentDate, to compare the target property's value with the current date.

The RuleFromBoolProperty validation rule is usually applied to a non-persistent Boolean property that is not supposed to be visible. However, you could not hide this property, because it was highlighted when the rule was broken. The property's caption could explain to end-users what data is required to be valid. This was rather inappropriate. So, we've added a UsedProperties parameter to the RuleFromBoolProperty rule. With this parameter, you can specify what properties must be highlighted when the rule is broken.

The Event objects that are displayed by the SchedulerListEditor can now be recurring. For this purpose, we've supported the Recurring Events feature provided by the XtraScheduler and ASPxScheduler controls. To improve the usability of the Parameterized Actions in Windows Forms applications, we've added a button that can be used to execute the Actions. This button is an alternative to the ENT key, that you had to press in previous versions.

Previously, you could not specify whether an image or caption, or both, must be used to display an Action. For this purpose, you would have to implement custom Action Containers, which is not a trivial task. We’ve now added an ActionPaintStyle attribute so that you can set the required display mode in the Model Editor.

Previously, you could only add a complex path property to a Pivot grid using the Application Model. In this version, we've introduce the ability to add and remove the required properties at runtime in Windows Forms applications. End-users can now manage the Pivot Grid's field list easily, using the Field List.

eXpressApp Framework - The eXpressApp Framework is a instrument for creating business applications quickly and easily. A strong modular architecture allows for platform independent domain specific extensions. Examples of typical applications include business/sales/CRM systems, projects, documentation, HR and training class management, and many others. The currently supported target platforms are Windows Forms and ASP.NET 2, and the open architecture allows extensions of either of these platforms as well as the introduction of completely new targets.
