As the release of DXperience v2010.1 is approaching, I thought I’d share some info about the new controls and new features that have made it into v2010.1.
But first things first. What is XPF? Simply put, as of v2010.1, we have merged our codebases for Silveright and WPF into one - XPF (short for eXpress Presentation Framework). This merge effort started with our Editors library earlier on (9.1+) and is now completed in v2010.1.
Does this mean that eventually every DX Control from WPF will be available in Silverlight and every Ag Control from Silverlight will be available in WPF? The answer is yes. Apart from a small number of controls that are developed for a specific platform, we will deliver the same controls with the same base API for both platforms.
This also means that we will be able to deliver even more controls and features faster. Not only because of the same codebase but because from now on, features will be released by the product teams instead of the platform teams.
In short, more features, better docs, better support.
