• Webinar: Accelerating Layout Development in Silverlight

  Join me in an upcoming webinar where we’ll discuss why layouts are important when building Silverlight applications, look at the available out-of-the-box options, and evaluate the power and flexibility you can gain by utilizing the DevExpress Layout Control. Date: Thursday, April 28, 2011 10:00 AM Pacific Time Event Overview: Perhaps the most crucial part of a successful and interactive rich web application is the layout in which all the content and functionality resides. As one of the premier web application platforms, Silverlight presents several layout creation, customization and management features. In this session, we'll take a look at the strengths and weaknesses of the existing layout tools that ship with the Silverlight platform. We'll then look at the DevExpress Layout Control for Silverlight and the advantages it provides to the developer and end-user.

• Silverlight and WPF TreeList Control

  You asked for it, we listened! The new DevExpress TreeList Control will ship in the upcoming 2011.1 release of DXperience for both Silverlight and WPF. The DXTreeList control is more than a standard tree list… it provides powerful features to enable advanced data presentation and manipulation. Next to multi-column display, the standard data-aware and presentation features include: data editing, sorting, filtering, summary calculation, built-in validation, unbound columns, runtime column customization and more! Other DXTreeList features in detail: Representation of Hierarchical Data Relationships With the TreeListView you can represent any self-referenced data structure in either bound or unbound mode. Unbound Mode Support In unbound mode, you can manually create the entire tree in code or XAML. On-Demand Data Loading in Unbound Mode In unbound mode, you can implement on-demand data loading. TreeNode Iterator To simplify node traversal, the TreeListView ships with an easy to use node iterator class. Node Images You can explicitly specify node images or obtain images from the field in a data source with long binary data. Are you currently using the DXGrid but need to present the same data in a tree structure? DevExpress has got you covered there as well! The DXTreeList Control will be available both as a standalone as well as an integrated view of the DevExpress Silverlight and WPF Grid Controls. The TreeList has been designed to be very similar to the existing DXGrid control in terms of API and functionality. This means that you can use your existing knowledge of our grid to quickly get up to speed with the DXTreeList control and implement it painlessly in your applications. And, thanks to this shared functionality and now-simultaneous development cycle, common features, performance optimizations, themes and other improvements will appear in both controls at the same time, allowing you to better plan for your product releases and easily deploy both within your applications. Stay tuned for more technical information and videos covering the new DevExpress TreeList Control for Silverlight and WPF!

• DevExpress Day of Design Reminder – Live Webcast

  This is just a reminder for this unique and exclusive all-day event where you get to look over the shoulder of our designer to learn how to create a new WinForms skin for DevExpress controls!
