A request came in just recently, prompted by my video introducing the three major new features in XtraCharts v2008 vol 2: how do you set up a couple of series and display them in separate panes. "Programmatically" came the kicker before I could quip with "watch the video properly."...

A quick video this one, part of a series on the different chart types available in XtraCharts. Here I discuss the three radar charts provided in our charting product: radar points, lines, and area. [For some reason, it looks as if some demented two-year-old got hold of my mouse during this one; since...

Here's a video that describes three of the important new features in XtraCharts for v2008 vol 2. The three features I talk about are: Intelligent label layouts: making sure that your series labels don't overlap. Since this can be a very processing intensive operation when there are many labels...

Earlier on today we released DXperience v2008 vol 2. Loads of great features and enhancements, such as the gauges, the wizard, the improved HTML editor, and so on. But... Coincidence or not?

Julian just posted about new text formatting technology coming out in the v2008 vol 2 release of our controls. However, the "ransom note screen shots" posted there don't reveal just how incredible this feature is. With great power comes great responsibility, so let's keep the emphasis...

Someone in WinForms R&D obviously finished his work early and decided to add something we've been talking about for a little while: formatted text for labels and such like. It's not in the Release Candidate, but will be in the v2008 vol 2 release itself. The Label, CheckEdit, and GridView...

OK, I know, a little over the top, but please allow me a teensy bit of hyperbole. I've been playing around with the latest demo for XtraGauges for a couple of hours so that I could prepare this blog post and I'm wowed. Yep, ol' Mr Cynical here loves this product. Since I saw it last (and...

In my previous post about what's new in XtraReports for v2008.2 I teased about this new feature. And some of you have guessed it right. Report parameters! . XtraReport now has a Parameters collection where you can define your params. Each report parameter can be used anywhere in the report. In filtering...

The 2nd major DXperience release of 2008 is just around the corner. This three (major) releases per year cycle is very useful. Each major release means new features, controls, functionality, etc. And in the 2008 Volume 2 (aka v8.2) release there are some great features from the ASP.NET team. Read below...
