Intersoft Solutions, a global vendor specializing in highly-reusable user interface controls for ASP.NET, Silverlight, and WPF, today announced the official release of WebUI Studio 2011 R1. It introduces over 30 new controls spanning across three platforms, including the flagship UXGridView, a high performance MVVM-compliant data grid for Silverlight and WPF, in addition to many enhancements. WebUI Studio R1 delivers a total of 290 powerful controls for small to large-sized enterprise business application development.
"Building on decades of our success in creating presentation-layer controls, we're thrilled to ship the world's most advanced data presentation components for the Silverlight and WPF development,", said Jimmy Petrus, the chief executive officer of Intersoft Solutions. "With extended MVVM support for WCF RIA Services and native integration with IdeaBlade's DevForce on board; building truly scalable and cross-platform business applications is no longer rocket science. And with the new navigation and state-of-the-art document lineup, WebUI Studio 2011 delivers all the tools you need to start building mission-critical business applications on the platform of your choice today."
"This exciting new release is strongly focused on data controls which address real-world application scenarios such as server paging and filtering," said Andry Handoko, the chief technology officer of Intersoft Solutions. "I believe developers will find our MVVM-ready data lineup and advanced QueryDescriptor concept appealing for building scalable line-of-business applications, particularly with the native integration with DevForce."
The Fastest Way to Build MVVM-enabled Business Applications
The strategic alliance between Intersoft and IdeaBlade allows .NET developers to swiftly leverage the platforms' potential to build scalable, MVVM-enabled business applications. This collaboration manifests in IdeaBlade's DevForce integration to WebUI Studio 2011 R1 setup file – eliminating additional development.
New Visual Studio 2010 project templates lower the learning bar with fresh, real world designs. Developers can hit the ground running or use the template as a springboard for custom designs.
Additionally, the new release includes several application samples, built with DevForce and WebUI Studio, enabling developers to quickly getting started with both tools combined.
"In today's market, development professionals are looking to deliver data driven business applications faster," said Michael Davis, president of IdeaBlade. "They are looking for help in putting together the disparate pieces of the development puzzle. We are proud to join Intersoft in addressing this challenge."
ClientUI 5 Adds High-performance Data Processing Controls and More
UXGridView's rock solid foundation is designed to handle the most intensive data processing. It's fully equipped with high-performance features, such as server-side paging and filtering, rich data editing with validation, batch data update, aggregates, and more. And, even better, each feature is optimized for MVVM development.
"Since using the Intersoft ClientUI along with data service framework from Ideablade, my time spent developing software has become more efficient and it is taking me less time to build applications from start to finish.", said Bill Gower, the senior architect of Union Solutions, who have extensively worked with Intersoft's data controls since its beta release, "Thanks to the built-in MVVM framework and true cross-platform support, Intersoft ClientUI outperforms the competition by providing developers with the most comprehensive and time-saving array of tools."
UXTreeView delivers unrivaled, powerful and exciting features. Leveraging the best practice of the MVVM design pattern, UXTreeView enables you to bind directly to your data entity. It also features three-state check box, node search based on keystroke, load-on-demand, node editing, drag-drop, template customization, and many more.
Business users demand rich document-viewing experiences, perfectly integrated into a Silverlight/WPF application. And that is what the new XPS document viewer provides. Built upon a loosely-coupled UI architecture, it offers a host of rich features such as document outline, thumbnail navigation, search, text highlighting with copy feature, and more. And best of all, it also supports printing with built-in document pagination.
With a wealth of innovative features, ClientUI's navigation pane delivers rich user experiences similar to Outlook 2010. Users can collapse the entire navigation pane, leaving a few pixels out. Click on the large side bar to reveal its content, floating on top of your application.
Drag and drop is a key user experience feature in most desktop-based applications. ClientUI translates this need by providing powerful drag-drop architecture. The latest advancement adds cross window drag-drop capability. This means that you can now drag an object from one window and drop it on the others.
