Some of you already know that we merged our WPF and Silverlight source codebases. One of the benefits of this merging is that you will be getting more controls faster. Now we are proud to announce a new control for the WPF platform – DXLayoutControl. In fact, we secretly slipped it into the latest release of DXperience, v2010.1.6, so you can try it out right now. You can take a look at the online demo of DXLayoutControl or read the documentation to get more information about this control suite.
DXLayoutControl is functionally the same as AgLayoutControl which is already available for Silverlight and so all of the information materials (blogs, videos, support center issues) created for AgLayoutControl apply to DXLayoutControl too. The following blog posts and videos will help you get familiar with our Layout Control.

Please let us know what you think about our new WPF Layout Control. We believe it’s the best tool for creating and maintaining UI layouts – be it just entry forms or entire applications.
